Zebra Printer in-line Implementation

dos Santos Nunes, Caio C´esar / Oliveira, Lucas Miranda / da Costa, Roberto Coelho

The project presents the advantages of using agile methodologies such as Scrum and Extreme Programing, for software development inside big company, showing that is feasible to adopt Agile Methods even in large companies’ culture. Analyzing this methodology being applied in a print management software for a zebra printer, demonstrating the characteristics of agile development such as agility in development time and ease of adapting the necessary changes in a Windows forms application with the C language. The application that was used to demonstrate the advantages of these methodologies has three basic functions, managing communication with an external service to validate and pass printer status, which is done through an RS232 communication, information management in database SQLite in the application itself, and control of the information that will be sent to a zebra printer, through an Ethernet communication passing data in ZPL (Zebra Programming Language). The advantages of applying agile methodologies in small and medium-sized projects are presented, in addition to dismantling that there is not only a gain in agility in the delivery of a functional product, but also an easily adaptable application, in addition to presenting a lower cost when compared to traditional methodologies for software development.
