Software di Outsource
Usando fonte aperta nello sviluppo in mare aperto del software
Il software aperto di fonte di termine, OSS in breve, non può essere conosciuto a tutto. In vostro carriera, voi deve sentire parlare il sistema operativo di Linux. Ciò è il sistema operativo che ha avuto un effetto enorme nel centro di dati. Benchè LINUX faccia il relativo nome come OSS, ci sono vari altri che rientrino nella categoria di software aperto di fonte, alcuni di questi diventato dalle grandi organizzazioni, quale il SOLE, IBM ed altri. Ci sono altri dalle più piccole imprese che non potreste sentire mai circa. Ci è una differenza fra che cosa denominiamo OSS e l'altro software come quello da Microsoft, che è essenzialmente software riservato. Il software aperto di fonte permette la distribuzione libera delle relative copie. Non solo quello, ottenete ricevere il codice originale che compone il programma. D'altra parte il software riservato può essere distribuito soltanto con l'autorizzazione ed i codici originali mai non sono messi a disposizione di voi.
La combinazione di OSS e sviluppo in mare aperto, alta qualità del rendimento e software redditizio, che è più facilmente disponibile. As it is it is a good idea in having OSS as a part of the software development project that you want to outsource. However that is a different topic all together, but covered in a previous article Open Source and Offshore Development.
In choosing to outsource your software development project, it is not only the pure coding skill that should be considered as far as the offshore company is concerned. A decision to outsource your project involves many other aspects to be considered before that decision is taken. There is obvious trust that you should have on the offshore company, who you wish to partner with, and this trust would develop over time. However establishing trust needs to have a beginning. First of all the offshore company should be having good references of their previous work. There should be case studies that you can go through, which would reflect their professionalism in the work that they have done so far. At the same time the applicable skill set that the team has, needs to be evaluated. Even after all these, there could be those nagging doubts that you may have in trusting the offshore company in the way you would want to, since the company concerned is not a referral from one of your previous contracts.
OSS source is the foundation of trust and confidence when you choose to outsource your software development. It provides you with the trust in the software being developed. It provides insurance in the worst case the project has not been delivered in the way you wanted. You still have the code and your infrastructure based on open source architecture which can be resumed or modified by a different software development partner. In other words, you still have the opportunity to engage other programmers to update the software much faster, since it is based on open source. If open source was not used as the base of the software being developed, it would have been more difficult to replace the programmers, in the event of worst case scenarios.
There are different interpretations to the term open source. In the previous example, open source would mean the complete product, which includes, tools, libraries, etc. Delivery of the developed software would not just mean delivery of the source code with the solution. It has to include the open source product, tools, library, and others which need to have some established resources. This reduces the time and effort of the new programmers in analyzing the software. The new programmers would take much more time to get on to the speed, if the software development is not based on community based open source software.
When you choose to outsource your software development, chose developers who would use open source architecture in developing the software. In such outsourced projects, open source provides the confidence and trust in much shorter time. In a decision to outsource, open source takes a positive approach to your risk management system. You can obtain the most competitive cost in choosing a vendor who would use community established open source architecture with appropriate license. This would provide you with the quality that you require.
