Project
The rewrite and platform refresh of the Food Safety Inspection Licensing System (FILS) will be the primary focus. The legacy food safety applications are coded in MS Access 2007 connected to SQL Server 2008 R2 databases via an OLE connection (.adp). The corresponding SQL databases contain complex stored procedures, views, triggers and functions which must be evaluated, modified and created. Programmer should have proficiency with SQL and interfaces (SQL Server Manager, SQL Studio Management). Food Safety employees manage regulatory, licensing and inspection functions via two complex compiled MS Access project (.ade). The agency has shifted the development platform from MS Access to C#. The rewrite of FILS is the primary responsibility but the legacy MS Access applications may also require maintenance and support during the engagement.
The programmer must fit in teamwork environment as well as follow direction. Programmer may be responsible for all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC); gather project business requirements, analysis of hardware/software requirements, design forms and reports, database modifications, code review, unit testing, user support and training, and maintenance. Development will be performed in a test environment and promoted to production environment upon approval by senior developer or supervisor. Programmer must use established formats, review and understand existing code, controls, SQL stored procedures and views. The programmer must adhere to agency coding standards, procedures, and complete documentation such as impact analysis and change control. Use of third party tools is prohibited without prior approval by the project programmer or supervisor. Programmer will participate in weekly developer working group meetings to discuss progress, obstacles, timelines, and goals.
