The Delphi-based UI framework (user intelligence) for a laboratory information system is updated to a current Delphi version.
Supplement
We analyse the functionalities to be considered in the overall context of the application in order to identify possible incompatibilities at an early stage and derive appropriate measures in good time. A migration strategy concept and a corresponding test concept will be developed to validate a successful update. The main task is to update the Delphi version and the necessary source code adaptations, since the version jump brings considerable changes to the underlying technology. Specifically, the Delphi 2005 version will be updated to Delphi XE5
Subject description
To ensure further support by the software vendor Embarcadero and to minimize possible security risks, an update of the basic technology of the UI framework is required. Since the UI framework has not been updated over several years with regard to the basic technology (Delphi), this results in a considerable version leap. Specifically, the Delphi 2005 version will be updated to Delphi XE5. The UI framework is used to generate the user interface for the laboratory information system masks from XML files.
