Case Study: Code Rewrite

Problem

  • System was critically behind schedule
    • Months of “one last bug”
    • Lots of unexplained behaviors
    • Nesting of deep sequence structures
      • No use of data flow
      • Nearly all code hidden
      • Lots of backward flows
    • Hard to read code
      • Lack of comments
      • Hidden Wires
      • Little use of subVIs

 

Solution

  • Elimination of Stacked Sequence structures
    • Replaced with a hierarchy of subVIs
      • Each with extensive documentation
      • Use of data flow, including universal error flow

 

Capabilities

  • MS in Software Engineering
  • Decades of Software Engineering experience
  • Well-developed coding standards
  • Flexible scheduling
    • Worked 90-hour weeks to bring in schedule
