Intelligent application of tools

The number of SW-tools is rising quickly. Those who are able to make use of these tools, can now obtain the desired results within a couple of days, which formerly used to take weeks or months. Within the framework of our consulting projects, we use these tools (in particular: MS-Excel, MS-Access, VBA, Understand for C, Beyond Compare, Perl, ...) to develop a substantial support for the projects. For example one DELTA-project, which was added to an already existing project. At a fixed date, the differences between the two projects should be worked out and analyzed.

For this purpose, the various functions were separated with the help of tools and a reference number was assigned to each function (analogue to a CRC). This reference number made it possible to discern whether the function had changed or not. By doing so, the changed functions could be found out from a total of several thousand functions within only a couple of days. The results were presented in an Excel-List, which automatically creates links to those files containing the functions.
