| Implementation of hardware simulator
software application |
| |
 |
| |
| The idea |
| Offshore development of applications
for cost effectiveness without shipping of the hardware. |
| |
| The client |
| World Leader in modality products. |
| |
| The business challenge |
 |
Decrease new
application development times |
|
Remote development
of applications for cost effectiveness |
|
No sourcing or shipment
of hardware for the purpose of application
development |
|
Zero impact on the existing
source code base |
|
To be able to test MR software
in actual mode without the complete setup |
|
| |
| Wipro’s solution |
|
Wipro provided
a multithreaded application on Windows XP
which simulates the hardware and can be executed
on remote machines |
|
The simulator
was capable of handling 1, 2 and 4 channels
for data transfer |
|
The simulator
was implemented without making any changes
to the existing software |
|
Simulator was able to send
raw data back to modality host console software
which could be seen on the Modality console |
|
Complete simulator was
designed and implemented at offshore by studying
code/logs as hardware/firmware was not available |
|
| |
| Business benefits |
|
Increased
rates of new application development since
no requirement of hardware for initial testing |
|
75% cost savings
during requirement and testing phases as activity
could be performed without the modality scanner |
|
Shortening of application
development time for both the client and Wipro
thus shortening the time to market for the
product |
|
Avenues for increased outsourcing
of work since the restriction of hardware
accessibility for testing no more existed |
