Project Overview
Simply Effective has been involve with two major
initiatives at Telus. The first was an Internet based ADSL
provisioning and EAI project which
customer service representatives (CSR’s) in BC and Alberta used to sign-up
new ADSL customers and to modify existing orders and services. The
second was for an Internet based
Sales Request/Order
Entry system.
ADSL Provisioning Details
- Assisted the project manager with planning and task assignments for
all phases of the software project.
- Managed and
prioritized activities for the development team.
- Worked closely
with BA’s and QA to ensure there was traceability from
use-cases/requirements to design to test plans. Provided use-case
workshops to BA’s
- Used many
XP best practices such as daily builds and unit testing with Ant and JUnit.
- All coding was
developed using Java 1.4 and J2EE.
- Used Eclipse as
the Java development tool, WebSphere 5.0 as the application server and
Oracle as the database.
- Used Struts
with the Model 2 architecture for the presentation framework.
- Utilized XML
technologies such as Web services, WSDL and XML schemas for synchronous
processing to external systems. SOAP messages were encrypted for
security.
- Consulted
with other architects from external teams on how to best proceed with
the Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) effort.
Sales Request/Order Entry Details
- Functionality
from an existing client-server system was migrated to an existing Web
application. Additional improvements identified by the business were
added. The existing ASP/VB 6 code base was migrated to a ASP.NET
1.1/VB/C# platform.
- The previous
Team Lead was let go and I was brought in to try and get the project
into production for mid/late 2005. I suggested a phased approach, with a
release each month.
- Assisted the
Project Manager with various tasks such as coordinating activities
between QA, internal development and external development teams and
managing and prioritizing activities for the development team.
- Provided
guidelines and best practices on how to migrate the existing ASP/VB 6
applications to .NET.
- Quickly got up
to speed with the requirements, architecture, and duties of each team
member
- Re-factored
many aspects of the architecture, design and code
- Coded core
architectural scenarios using Visual Studio 2003 and the .NET framework
1.1.
- Reviewed code
and designs, ensuring integrity of code, structure, and architecture
- Worked with the
DBA’s to produce database architecture(s). Used Oracle as the database
server
