Benefits
The bottom line: Reduce Costs
Anyone who writes or reads code will benefit
nWire assists the coding process. It is used on a daily basis by all developers, team leaders, technical designers and architects. It makes it easier to find code and browse through it. It is an integral part of your IDE, whether you are writing new code, fixing or adding to existing code or just reading code.
Accelerate and streamline the coding process
Software development today is much more than writing a straight piece of code. The code is spread over multiple classes interacting with each other and interfacing with many other classes already written. Developers are productive when writing code, but in the current situation they spend a lot of time finding their way through the different components. nWire reduces the overheads by putting all relevant classes just a few clicks away.
Better code understanding
Modern applications, based on object-oriented languages, are usually built according to a given architectural approach (e.g. n-tier architecture), using various common design patterns. This means the application is built using many small and simple building blocks. Understanding a method is usually not an issue, since the code is kept simple. The challenge is understanding how the single component fits within the application architecture. This is where nWire comes into play.
Improve software quality
When developers understand the code and the architecture they are less likely to make mistakes. Some of the worst bugs in software are architectural bugs: writing code which does not comply with the product architecture. Such code may appear to be working, but will usually fail later, when it is far more expensive to fix. nWire reduces such bugs as the developer can immediately see where his code fits in to the global structure.
Reduces outsourcing costs
When outsourcing a task or hiring temporary external developers, you want to get results fast. The new developers need to understand how the module they are working on connects to the rest of the application. nWire shortens the process, thus saving you money.
Shortens the learning curve for new developers
When introduced to existing large applications, new developers will usually take up to 6 months to start being truly productive. During their training process they will require mentoring, which means they will occupy more developers from your team, and they will probably cause some damage. nWire assists the developer in understanding the existing code and architecture, making it easier to understand examples and correctly write new code which integrates with the existing application.
