Cross Examination Of Nigerian Financial Software Development

By Marcie Goodman


Financial software is a system of applications that are used to record various types of accounting information. The records that are reflected in these systems are those of expenses and incomes from specific accounting periods. The systems have special accounts into which the receivables and other types of expenses are entered into. The Nigerian financial software development process should take care of various needs by a firm. Before the process is embarked on, there is a need to define various problems that these organizations face.

The definition of various features and the data types is commonly done by the use of special tools that are offered by accounting applications. There are various types of forms, tables and other tools that define what will be inputted into these systems. These tools commonly represent what is to be recorded for a particular organization. The tools require that the data of the same type ought to be entered into these forms and tables.

An organization is examined well so as to establish the various needs within such organizations. The firm assessment processes form the basis on which various demands by the users and employees are highlighted. The current systems are taken into consideration. The examinations of these systems establish what need to be changed or upgraded during the construction of new systems. The problems at hand are then broken down into a series of coding problems.

The development paths for most applications are often very critical and occasionally risky. The most definitive paths take into consideration the urgent issues which the developers should take into consideration. Most of the problems are usually very large. These are broken down into a number of smaller bits which are then assessed in stages. The use of structural programming advances the break-down of a number of programming problems.

A coding team is usually assembled to convert the problems into a series of codes. The codes are the building blocks for computing applications. Structural programs allow the programmers to identify the main elements within the coding structures. This is then used for definition of various parameters. The programs allows for the objects to be built around these elements. The programs that have been developed are then tested for any bugs. The team leaders may move on to the next phase of upgrades after this.

The project managers are faced with a couple of constraints. The constraints are mainly in the form of costs and time factors. Budgets are drafted at the onset of most projects. The costs that are likely to be incurred are estimated. Inflation on the prices makes the projects more expensive and this may delay the implementation.

The implementation of projects needs to be approached with a lot of care to reduce the risk of failure. Most of the managers use the parallel implementation strategy. The old systems are run parallel with the new ones for a specified period of time. Once the managers have been assured that the systems meet the objectives, the old ones are eliminated.

The Nigerian financial software development is done with accordance with certain regulations. The framework of development ensures that the systems meet international standards of computing. The standardization of systems ensure that the quality is nor compromised in pursuit of cost reduction.
