Packaging Process
Safety and cost reduction by process methodology
Using Raynet’s standardized packaging workflow results in an significantly improved package quality and certainly depending on this guaranteed, very low reject rates, which again reduces packaging costs.
Raynet does not look to initial packaging costs only (catchword: “low-price-packages”) but has a glance on the total costs per package after passing the complete packaging process. That includes rejected packages and the correction and other costs associated with them. Those efforts can easily double or even triple costs per package which would then justify an initially higher package price resulting in lower total costs.The standardized packaging workflow consists roughly of evaluation, the packaging itself and of quality assurance.
Depending on customer wishes or needs Raynet could add
a) Preparing your software portfolio for the evaluation (e.g. checks on completeness of application sources and documentation, suitability for a certain operating system, etc.) and
b) Supporting the roll out after you accepted the software packages.The Raynet packaging workflow is defined as:
The Evaluation contains at first the inspection of the arriving package order (PO) and a technical analysis of the belonging software source. This ensures, that the application can be packaged in principle and determines the way of doing it. Also, test parameters / plans are getting determined during evaluation which later will be used when doing quality assurance.
Deliverables of evaluation are the packaging-capable application and the belonging test plan.
Packaging itself consists of an entrance check of the evaluation results and all activities concerning packaging including a technical test. The deliverable is a final software package.
Quality Assurance covers the full technical test plus a functional test in customer environments, performed jointly with the customer’s application owner, who also does the package acceptance. This is a necessary step which makes sure, that the final package cannot only be installed but runs without collision with other software within the customer’s production
environment.
That is not always a step carried out usually within our industry even so it is standard with Raynet. Also, the responsible application owner can check the packed software functionally again. These conceptually modular Raynet services function like building blocks and can be ordered depending on individual needs. It allows Raynet to be your competent partner at any stage of your software management lifecycle.
Raynet also could implement the process steps of the packaging workflow in your company and optimize your software packaging cycle.
