Been sitting on the sideline of updating from Windows 10 to v11.

Has it got better in the last 3 months - NO.

Microsoft FREAKS OUT After Windows 11 AI Features FAIL in Real Use! Microsoft’s push to embed AI deeply into Windows 11 is backfiring as users report real-world failures, performance issues, and features that don’t work as ad...

Working on the new version of Argus Development Tools in 20R5. We are enjoying updating from classic 4D to ORDA 4D code through out.

Though throughout the new version methods are getting total rewrites. The Application Statistics is a great example of the speed of ex*****on, and reduction of lines of code to write.

In the example of the Statistics display, we are taking advantage of a Collection listbox with all it's speed, and placing of an object in each row (that is how it is accomplished).

In this case we can very quickly calculate most anything contained the the listbox. In the example here in the Total method Stats area we provide stats on the whole application. The processing Time is how long it takes to generate these stats. Remember this is uncompiled, so in a compiled component it will be much faster.

You can see the various information we are providing about the code. The 'To Polish' is the indicator of code that we have indicated we want to add functionality to the method. The 'Compulsory' is the indicator of code that we have indicated we must add functionality to the method. The Linter will always flag the Compulsories.

In the bottom section we provide the same statistics on what ever is in the current selection of methods in the Method Finder listbox. This permits you to view these stats on an infinite subset of methods based on your interest.

This all occurs in milliseconds of code ex*****on.

Of linked interest take a look at the auto generated manual for a method in an earlier post here.

At the top of the popup menu, note that you can generate complete documentation for the Developer using the Update manual - Dev. This option uses the code in each method to create the documentation for developers. All with just a click every method's documentation is updated to the very latest.

This documentation is available in the Method Finder, and in 4D's Method Explorer - Documentation Tab.

NO MORE EXCUSES for not having the documentation done for each and every method.🥳

If you have gone through ISO 9000 Certification you know that they go through the organization from top to bottom, and to every corner of the organization. They talk to all levels of people in the organization, check documentation, and procedures.

This is not a certification that is a weeks work to go through. You need to ensure that your organization People, processes, records, and products have truly using the processes you claim.

Having taken a Medical Software Vendor through the whole process I understand the how, why, and what to accomplish this.

If you software company does not have tool(s) like the ARGUS Development Tools you will likely not pass the certification. With all people involved in the software development, testing, release of the software using ARGUS Development Tool you can have high confidence of the quality of your released software. As well, you can prove that you have high quality.

The ARGUS Development Tool gives you tools to ensure quality, that you have documented the needs, tracked who did it and when, that each requirement has been tested. The ARGUS Development Tool is more than a documentation tool. It actually reviews the code. It examines each graphic element of the application. It ensures that the code meets your standards with the Linter tool, the graphic analysis lets you find where graphics are not correct, and to correct them quickly.

There is so much more than can be mentioned in a FaceBook post. Software projects are complex with millions of pieces.

With the ARGUS Development Tool, and related products you can rest easy that the team is achieving your goals. The Customers can use the software trusting that it does what they have been promised.
