A guide on setting up Guidewire Software applications fast.
Dev Power-Up! Launcher is useful with:
- Multiple environments. Oftentimes a local sandbox environment is beneficial for review and inspection alongside the configured environment.
- Multiple application versions. Different application versions may require different Java JDKs, such as the case where ClaimCenter 8.0.5 is in production and PolicyCenter 10.0.2 is in active development.
- Multiple workspaces. It is common practice to use a second, separate cloned configured environment to test concepts.
Dev Power-Up! is a set of tools developers use with Guidewire Software implementations.
I am an advocate of both the macOS and productivity improvement and I was excited to run all Guidewire centers on my MacBook as an employee of Guidewire Software in 2006. Although performance and the user interface were dodgy back then, I wrote several shell scripts to enhance my workflow.
I crafted the initial iteration of tools for macOS, but transformed the same set of scripts for Windows parity. These tools simplify my daily work and I hope it helps simplifies yours.
