RDW modernizes its development pipeline for Delta ADS

Legacy applications not only have old technology, often they also are maintained with legacy development processes.

After successfully migrating their mainframe application portfolio to a windows environment, RDW decided to bring their development process completely under Visual Studio.

Delta Software Technology provided RDW with a plugin for Delta IDS (ADS on Visual Studio) to support RDW’s hybrid strategy where runtime environment consists of Delta ADS COBOL modules and C# modules. Together they provide the necessary business functionality.

Having all objects in one development environment has enabled RDW a secure pipeline. With all source code stored in GIT, agile development is supported and nightly builds are performed. The homegrown "Winframe Insights" application provides impact and analysis data on necessary changes regardless of the technology the functionality is implemented in.

"Enabling our Delta ADS development under Visual Studio has been instrumental in bringing down the boundaries between our young developers and our Delta ADS COBOL sources."
Roland Römer (Product owner at RDW)
