Interfront Annual Report 2022

PART B: PERFORMANCE REPORT 35 Work performed that was not specified as part of the Annual Performance Plan Elasticsearch Elasticsearch is a proven search engine and data store that Interfront wants to include in its current and future solution designs. The first milestone upload of the CPS release was completed on 31 March 2022. The next steps are for SARS, in collaboration with Interfront, to test CPS containing Elasticsearch, with the aim of Elasticsearch going live on 30 June 2022. Supply and Configuration of Software Deployment Tool The project aimed to facilitate collaboration between Interfront and SARS to streamline and automate the deployment process of the Interfront developed enterprise software systems in both the Interfront and SARS environments. The first XLD automated pipeline deployment of RLA and CPS was successfully run in production on 28 January 2022. Since 28 January 2022, all RLA and CPS releases to all SARS environments have been done using XLD. Function Point Measurement (FPM) The introduction of FPM to SARS was done as an estimation approach that can be used as a service to qualify effort more accurately. The scope of the project was to research and select a preferred FPM methodology. This was achieved through performing function point counts for four historical projects and producing a guideline for the application of functional size measurement. 9. PERFORMANCE REPORT (CONT.)
