Wadeware was engaged by a large commercial software company to help it manage a dynamic set of content on its Web site. This company had recently begun a new set of continuous improvement practices in its processes to improve the overall quality of its products.

Business Issue and Requirements

Wadeware’s client needed help to more effectively manage its guidance on application development practices. The company’s internal site includes hundreds of tricks and tips, all of which were maintained as an XML file. Using our software development methodology, Wadeware developed an easy-to-use editing tool that site administrators could use to add, remove, and edit Web site content.

Solution

Wadeware’s application development team built a custom XML editing tool that dynamically builds out text, Web content, and JavaScript as needed. This tool has a graphical interface that allows users to manage XML code without having to manually edit the raw code. The Web site management team uses this tool to more effectively add, remove, edit, and maintain the content on the site.
