jSNMP Enterprises Design and Development Process

SNMP MIB Design and Development	Phase I – Analysis and Design Phase The Analysis and Design phase will be used to scope the project and to completely identify the needs of the customer and the capabilities of the target software/hardware. This phase will include defining with the customer specifically which management data of the hardware/software to expose. Tasks understand top-level customer needs so that future MIBs will organize into a coherent structure model the physical (or logical) system to be supported using graphical representations of MIBs iterate with the customer to ensure all issues have been resolved Deliverables functional specification MIB diagram project plan (timeline) Review / Checkpoint Phase II – Implementation Phase The Implementation phase will be used to write the MIB that implements the design and specification. Tasks apply good naming practices to MIB nodes, data, and traps write the MIB test the correctness of the MIB documentation Deliverables MIB (beta) updated project plan (timeline) Review / Checkpoint Phase III – Test Phase The Test phase will be used to measure the final product against the requirements and specifications identified during the Design and Analysis phase. Tasks work with client's engineering and quality assurance departments to resolve any issues Deliverables MIB (release) Review / Checkpoint
SNMP Agent Design and Development	Phase I – Analysis and Design Phase The Analysis and Design phase will be used to scope the project and to completely identify the needs of the product users. This phase will include defining specifically what the software will be able to do and how it can be used. This will include the design of component interfaces and methods to be performed by the code. Additional prototyping will be done to validate the design and usability of the product. Tasks analyze customer's requirements and clearly identify all product requirements; this should include requirements for functionality, operation, compatibility, interoperability and documentation define with customer the data access mechanisms compile the MIB and generate 'get', 'set', and 'trap' code stubs with 'dummy' data produce a test process which drives the agent and simulates network management software run test process against all possible conditions and faults and monitor CPU usage and memory leaks Deliverables functional specification definition of agent architecture prototype using jSNMP Enterprises' multi-platform SNMP SDK (complete agent with 'get', 'set', and 'trap' stubs) test process project plan (timeline) Review / Checkpoint Phase II – Implementation Phase The Implementation phase will be used to write the production code that implements the design and specification. Tasks implement agent with data access mechanisms run test process against all possible conditions and faults and monitor CPU usage and memory leaks installation documentation Deliverables software product (beta) software documentation (beta) updated project plan (timeline) Review / Checkpoint Phase III – Test Phase The Test phase will be used to test the production code that implements the design and specification. The final product is to be measured against the requirements and specifications identified during the Design and Analysis phase. In addition, this phase will include optimizing the system to improve performance and fixing bugs uncovered during beta testing. Tasks beta testing (integration and system) bug fixing performance tuning Deliverables software (release) software documentation (release) software source (release) software build environment (release) Review / Checkpoint
Web-based Network Management Design and Development	Phase I – Analysis and Design Phase The Analysis and Design phase will be used to scope the project and to completely identify the needs of the product users. This phase will include defining specifically what the software will be able to do and how it can be used. This will include the design of user interfaces, component interfaces and methods to be performed by the code. Additional prototyping will be done to validate the design and usability of the product. Tasks analyze customer's requirements and clearly identify all product requirements. This should include requirements for functionality, operation, compatibility, interoperability and documentation define use cases by capturing and documenting the essential and most commonly performed operations define all OIDs and derived values to be exposed define user interface define component interfaces Deliverables functional specification prototype (complete high-level UI) project plan (timeline) Review / Checkpoint Phase II – Implementation Phase The Implementation phase will be used to write the production code that implements the design and specification. During the implementation phase, the system is built in a series of fixed-length iterations. Each iteration is a mini-project that addresses a use case and results in a set of HTML pages and Java Applets. Uses cases that address the highest risks in the system are planned in the early iterations to eliminate the risks as early as possible. Tasks implementation (HTML, Java, JavaScript) integration testing (unit, integration) documentation Deliverables software Product (beta) software Documentation (Beta) updated project plan (timeline) Review / Checkpoint Phase III – Test Phase The Test phase will be used to test the production code that implements the design and specification. The final product is to be measured against the requirements and specifications identified during the Design and Analysis phase. In addition, this phase will include optimizing the system to improve performance and fixing bugs uncovered during beta testing.
