Desynit and Original Software partner for legacy transformation
13th April 2010 – Original Software, the Application Quality Management (AQM) vendor, today announced a strategic partnership with Desynit, IT services provider and specialist in the field of Application Modernisation. The latest in a string of partnership announcements for Original Software, Desynit joins the company’s growing community of service providers, with a particular focus on legacy transformation projects.
The use of testing and analysis tools which can record, replay and report on the operation of the current system are a key factor in beginning any systems modernisation effort. The creation of test cases for the legacy application allows the system to be documented, allowing changes to be made with confidence.
In addition to checking the quality of modern web-based applications and systems with graphical front ends, Original Software’s solutions also allow unrivalled testing on legacy systems. Legacy green screen applications can be tested at both the user interface level, as well as determining what is happening at the database level. Original Software also facilitates the creation of a test database, where the manipulation and scrambling of sensitive data is possible. Roll back to a previous state if the database becomes corrupted by the testing effort is also provided.
Matthew Morris, Director at Desynit explained: “Original Software’s solution suite is unique in its ability to thoroughly test legacy systems. This is essential in any migration or transformation project. When choosing to incrementally modernise parts of the existing system, test cases allow the results of the new processing to be compared to a base line, ensuring the result of the change is as designed. Extending the use of test cases to exploit automated testing unlocks the potential for developers to deliver system changes within reasonable timescales.”
“We have worked with Original Software for some time now and have had a great deal of interest in what Original Software offers. We are pleased to be formalising our relationship and look forward to continued success as a result of the partnership,” he added.
“Desynit offers in-depth expertise in the field of systems modernisation, an area which is of core interest to many of our customers” said Colin Armitage, CEO of Original Software. “Businesses face a key choice in the ongoing maintenance of their software systems, completely replace or incrementally modernise. Our technology together with the services and expertise of Desynit provide an attractive solution to customers embarking on application modernisation projects.”
