method code JL--calculating the amount of paycheck deductions for
savings and investments plans; Cyborg release 34--implementation of
a new vendor release of the system; payroll work facility--a mail
station identifier for the users; payroll general ledger reports--
changes to the reports made from the interface with the general
ledger; and payroll Cyborg yearend--customizations with respect to
the yearend production of documents.
Upgrades and new releases were common, particularly with
respect to changes in the tax laws that required changes to the
payroll system. The many customization projects involved changes
to each of the three programs (the edit program, the calculation
program, and the print program) that constituted the heart of
Cyborg.
In using the Software Development Methodology to customize the
Cyborg software, NTS reviewed the old and new source codes
(obtained from the vendor) to determine where the customized code
could be written without sacrificing required functionality.
Following the design and development phases, NTS conducted test
payroll and reporting runs in order to ensure that the users' needs
were met. As part of this process, in order to verify that the
results were consistent, NTS tested the system both before and
after the changes were made.
