Method Support Code

====== About ======
Created Wednesday 15/08/2007

This is a program for supporting procedures by defining on-line forms. In other words, it provides the equivalent of a set of paper forms.

This can be used to support defined procedures or processes, such as required for methods/methodologies/processes such as SDLCs, the CMMI or for SOX.

The emphasis of this approach is to make it easy to set up a set of forms and to modify the forms over time. This focus distinguishes this program from alternative similar systems.

The [[Technical overview|technical overview]]  gives a high-level introduction. See the [[Project status|project status]] and [[To do|to do]] lists for information on current status. See the [[Schema file|schema file]] page for information on how to use the program and [[Internals|internals]] for information about how it is structured internally.

The program has been released under the [[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html|GPLv3]] license and is available from a [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/methodsupport|Sourceforge page]].

===== Alternatives =====

There are many other systems out there for creating on-line forms (eg Rails). The other programs are focused on more-complex requirements.

Some systems eg forms packages could work together with this program. To do this, the code to drive the forms package would be generated by a template.
