Managing concurrent coding in software development

4 New Member
Hello,

We have a very critical application made on Visual Basic 6.0 and DB2. Now we have encountered 5 enhancement changes must be incorporated in our application but on the same time we have received 2 high profile projects for the same application. So it has become a difficult situation for us doing 5 small but sustantial changes in same application and working on project in same time frame.. Though I m pretty optmistic about the releases but I have concerns as well about code management, change management and retrofitting codes in projects.

Can some advise me what are the major risks we may face in the development life cycle these 7 differents works in same application on same time .. Some tips given will be highly appreciated..

Thanks,
Santosh

Noi sure if it's possible in VB but have a look at CVS.

Hello web folks... I've been desigining web pages for 13 years using my trusty text editor (UltraEdit) and in depth knowledge of HTML. I'm truly a text editor ninja at this point. I am frequently using regular expressions to search and replace in multiple files. I also use many different copy buffers and know all the keyboard shortcuts like the back of my hand. The point is... it's comfortable. Unfortunately, it's become just too...

Hi All, I tested "concurrent testing" in MySQL. It works fine. But I couldn't do in PostgreSQL 7.3.4 on HPUX IPF. I got deadlock problem. I used the PHP script to update table( one script increment the column & another one decrement the column). Is the postgres support the concurrent access to update database? I got the following errors: test=# ERROR: deadlock detected ERROR: deadlock detected ERROR: deadlock detected .....

Hello All, I'm always looking for ways to improve my code. Most of the time (whenever I'm working on a project) I write a bunch of functions. Then after the project is finished, I put all the similar functions into their own module/class/page for neatness: -- like a stringsManipulate class which has all string manipulation methods to the project...separated from the whole project into its own library for neatness. -- like a...

Hi, I have built a web application that will be a very high profile application. We had tested it, demonstrated it and shown that it all works. On a dress rehearsal run through, it failed spectacularly. I was so embarrassed and felt like killing the person that made it fail. However, when it goes live, IT MUST NOT FAIL. The system has a backoffice system that takes an excel spreadsheet from the

I'm trying to get my head around a conversation I had with a developer the other day. We were talking about Codesmith vs. Hand coding. He's position is Codesmith is for junior to mid level developer who perfer "wizards" to write code for them. That these types of code generators produce substandard developers who don't have real skills. I don't have a position one way or the other until I have a bit more information, but if I was to take...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs. The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols. I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
