PennDOT ATX Project Summer Semester EOSP Team Stalagmite: Dan Abramovich Jeff Ditillo Oksana Schubert Alexey Stolpovskikh Dehua Zhang
Agenda • Introduction • Planning • Execution • Architecture-driven process • Project tracking • Risks mitigation • Product • Product design • Demo • ATX business value • Lessons Learned
Introduction • Problem description • New solution for PennDOT’s on-line vehicle title and registration services • Major stakeholders • PennDOT • ATX (our clients) • Participating companies • Business drivers • Improve PennDOT’s business processes • Allow ATX to become PennDOT’s Business Partner
Major Accomplishments • Delivered software solution • Core product functionality • Designed for future extension • Designed to meet Gatekeeper certification • Client: “This is exactly what we wanted” • Realized architecture in implementation • Highest priority quality attributes fulfilled • Effectively planned and tracked project • Created effective software development process
Development Process • Individual development of work items • Units correspond to architectural components • Quality through design/code reviews • Nightly builds and regression testing • Architecture monitoring • Periodic integration tests • Via Test UI and test cases • Track progress against project plan closely
Time Estimation Accuracy • Estimated task time • Actual: 158 % • Adjusted estimates • Actual: 86 %
Scheduled vs. Unscheduled Effort Summary • Scheduled task time • Tasks from project plan • Unscheduled tasks • Role activities • Meetings • Defect correction • Miscellaneous
Defect Tracking Summary • Defects found using • regression testing • design/code reviews • Integration testing • 53 Resolved • 3 Unresolved • 1 Enhancement • 1 JBoss issue • 1 Not Repro.
Anticipated Risks • Untimely access to information and resources schedule slips • Schedule is based on “guesstimates” may be unrealistic • Only suboptimal choices available with free software
Risk Management • Risk 1: Unreliable information access • Developed Gatekeeper simulators • Externalized critical data • Risk 2: Estimated schedule • Develop transaction system kernel first • Project tracking worked to schedule • Risk 3: Open source quality • Used proven products: JBoss, Jasper, Castor, Ant, JUnit
Quality Attributes Achieved • Security • J2EE JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization Service ) • Availability • Application and database clustering • Client-side dynamic proxy make fail-over transparency • Modifiability • Decoupled business rules from the code using XML files • Performance • Scalable load balancing
Security Features • Username/Password authentication • Role-based authorization • Content-based authorization • Security modules • Future extensions • New security settings take effect instantly
ATX Business Value • ATX transaction server • Provides key component of PennDOT business partner solution • Scalable solution • Easy to add additional transactions • Easy to add additional reports • Provides solution to update fees • Competitive advantage for Gatekeeper Certification • Useful documentation • Developer’s Guide for future developers • System Administrator’s Guide
Lessons Learned • Realistic project scoping is critical • Selection as design • Project planning/tracking • Identify and meet essential deliverables • Use architecture driven approach • Development process • Utilize automated tools • Need checks to ensure quality process • Requirements/project management • Involve relevant stakeholders (PennDOT)
Detailed Design: Transaction Management • Transaction Manager • Transaction Record • Fee Management • Activity Log • Transaction Descriptions • Gatekeeper Interface
