Smart Client 7 puts more than 25 improvements at your IT and Help Desk teams’ fingertips. PROLIN’s experienced IT Service Management engineering team -- pioneers in the use of Information Technology Infrastructure Libraries (ITIL) -- uses the latest techniques to develop high quality software. The development process includes an advanced build server, code metric reporting and continuous integration next to Test-Driven Development (TDD) as the methodology for creating the software. This development process ensures:
- Higher overall product quality
- Lower product development costs, translates to a lower price for you
- Fewer bugs and defects
- Faster development of new functionality and features
- Simpler, clearer, more extensible system design
- Constant feedback about the stability of the software
- Simplified re-factoring and maintenance
- Simplified release management

The resulting PROLIN Smart Client 7 is easily deployed and provides dramatic improvements for your HP Service Desk users. Try it out with a FREE trial. And, it’s risk free – you can even run in parallel with your Service Desk 4.5 client!
About Test-Driven Development (TDD)
TDD is a modern software design technique for producing high-quality software. It relies on the repetition of a very short development cycle (iteration) where new test cases covering the desired improvement or new functionality are written first, then the production code necessary to pass the tests is implemented, and finally the software is refactored to accommodate changes. The availability of tests before actual development ensures rapid feedback after any change and identifies defects early in the process. In combination with well-known OO design principles like SOLID and DbC, the PROLIN development team is able to deliver high-cohesive, loosely-coupled software that is robust, reusable, reliable, readable, and easy to maintain.
PROLIN’s development process delivers Smart Client 7 as a modular, flexible, and extensible package that has been thoroughly tested before release. Your users will gain productivity improvements with an elegant interface that brings fun back to IT service management.
