Opportunity Overview As teams grow in size and specialize, no one individual knows all the installation requirements anymore Install + Application Developer Application Developers Application Development Teams Installation Developer ? ?!? Release Engineering

– Phone – – Conversations – Notes – Sitting in on meetings – Reverse-engineering code – Studying old installations – Ouija boards – Guessing

Ad hoc is no friend of development What happens if a developer leaves the group? The company? What happens if my product definitions change? What happens if the project runs out of time? What happens if what the application developer remembers is different from what is correct? What happens if an error occurs in the installation related to requirements? How do you create an installation based on a previous state of the application, as opposed to the final state? How do I know what has changed? Challenges

Key Benefit: An easy, standardized way to capture, test and maintain the installation requirements used to create high-quality, deployable software projects. FLEXnet InstallShield Collaboration Separated Integrated Teamwork Ad Hoc Explicit Quality

Capturing the “Essence of Setup” is Easy

The Developer Installation Manifest (DIM) is where the “Essence of Setup” is maintained  Engine-independent – can be built- out as either Windows or MultiPlatform installers  XML-based – can be edited with Macrovision tools, manually, or through an API-driven automation interface  Comprehensive – describes a broad range of requirements  Contains No Files – the DIM is a manifest, not a container  Maintained with Source – DIMs can be checked in to source control systems the same way source code is  Uniquely identified – each DIM carries a unique UUID for source management and consistency

Automated Creation of the Setup from the DIM

Value Application Developer – Externalizes requirements during coding, not after – Minimal impact on time spend coding Installation Developer – Gives access to reliable and comprehensive requirements – Automates creation of core installation, giving more time to focus on installation- specific needs (e.g. architecture, end- user experience). Development Manager – Improves overall project quality – Improves team efficiency
