PROJECT REFERAL

Entriq develops and manages Pay Media infrastructure and has solutions that help their customers monetize their media assets. One of their solutions offerings is a billing and customer care management solution specifically geared for media companies.

AmSoft has developed the interface to Entriq's Advanced Billing and Customer care product. This front-end was developed on Microsoft's .NET platform. It was architected based on CSLA by Rockford Lohtka's. The business logic was captured in CSLA based business objects written in C#. These objects provided all the necessary services like storage management, caching, data loading (lazy loading), discounts, authorizations, access control, tax calculations etc. to the presentation layer in the form of an object model that hid the system complexity from the interface developers. The interface itself was written in ASP.NET and C# using Microsoft's UIPAB (User Interface Process Application Block) as the basic building pattern. The presentation layer was composed of a number of reusable custom user controls along with standard controls provided by Microsoft. The UI also used Infragistics .NET web controls for advanced features like visually appealing and multifunctional grids, calendar controls, tabs etc. The product and the interface supported complete localization.

AmSoft was also responsible for test and QA of the product. All unit tests both for business objects and web interface were written using NUnit. AmSoft also performed integration, feature, release and regressions test for all releases. All releases were using Source Safe running at the Carlsbad, CA. AmSoft development team had a dedicated VPN connections to work with remote version control, issue tracking and databases.
