1. TPF Development Process Flow

2. Major Project* Process Steps Project Inception Research and Design Solution Construction Testing Production/Implementation Project Closedown Maintenance/Clean up * Projects include both new development, problem resolution, and maintenance/PUT upgrades

3. Detail - Project Inception Project assignment Project Database containing –Name –Description –Components to be modified/recompiled (programs, macros, headers, pilots, alters, etc.) –Requirements –Load dates and contents of each –Testing results at each test level –Project estimate (schedule, manpower, etc) Project plan - ? Approval processes –Approvers –Acceptance at team transitions –Reviewer approval –Rejection processing Built throughout the project Subprojects

4. Detail - Research & Design Solution Develop requirements Research tools –Xref –Scan –Component history –APAR data Develop High level design Develop Detail design Obtain Approvals as required

5. Detail - Construction Checkout from SCM to HFS Toolkit –Edit/modify/merge –Compile/assemble –Create test loads Check in to SCM from HFS Synchronize with project data as required

6. Detail - Testing Define levels of testing –Unit, system, package, integration, QA, etc. –Customizable Target test environments Process for moving components into each level of testing –Control/Promotion process –Build method (User build, module copy, built by test group, etc) Creation and manage test scripts

7. Detail - Production/Implementation Release management Promotion process –User driven, change team driven, coverage driven, etc –Load creation –Load staging –Link to TPF system Pass load data to TPF (version, revision, SCM location of source, etc) Pass success data from TPF (accepted, fallback (member/packet), etc) Update project data base

8. Detail - Project Closedown Copy staging to production Update production source (SCM, work libraries) Document post project review –Schedule variance –Manpower variance –Problem logs following implementation for x period of time User workspace clean up Project data base archival
