Software Development Environment (SDE)


The quicksolver 3 software development environment gives Instec the ability to make isolated and self-contained changes. The distribution environment ensures that the change – and only the change – is packaged, sent and installed correctly and unobtrusively. This granular-level control ensures that we develop and distribute change that does not compromise the base product or any of your customizations.

The SDE includes:

  • A powerful Insurance Domain Specific Language (DSL) and Object Editing Environment
  • A Form Control Language and PDF template management environment
  • Comprehensive Insurance Meta-Data management tools used by business analysts to specify and manage rate/rule/form information
  • A sophisticated Release administration system that controls which Revisions (aka changes) are distributed to each customer
  • A customer-centric Release distribution system that electronically distributes the updates via pull-model downloads.

Rigorous software quality control is accomplished by using a sophisticated Software Configuration Management (SCM) paradigm facility that implements a consistent Release management model across all development component types and systems.
