Development process
We are focused not on the process rather than the result. Although process in most of cases is the key of great result. The general process of developing software is the following:
- Scope stage. During this stage we are trying to understand business needs of the customer, gather all needed information and requirements, terms and conditions.
- MVP/prototyping. Based on technical specification we make a prototype, mockups or quick MVP to visualize the solutions, discuss the possible issues and research bottlenecks.
- UX/UI. On this stage we design the main scenarios, user interface and user experience.
- Development stage. Based on requirements we can select different process for development - from waterfall to Scrum or TDD with development cycle one or two weeks.
- Testing. After second or third development cycle we add QA specialist for testing software.
- Deployment. On this stage we prepare the environment, deploy the solution and test software in production.
- Support and improvements. On this stage we manage the whole working infrastructure, add improvements and fix bugs if any.
The most common process we use is Agile methodology. It promotes adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, and continuous improvement, and it encourages rapid and flexible response to change. With agile you are in charge during the whole development process and are welcome to add/change requirements and assess the already implemented functionality on the go.
While with waterfall process or fixed price project you decide all the requirements for your project at the very start and get exactly what you need for a fixed price at a fixed time.
Quality
We take the quality of the product very seriously. We use several approaches to increase the quality of the product.
- Understanding business needs before the development starts.
- Usage of right technologies, tools and best practices decreases technical debt.
- Usage of high coding standards helps to detect bugs on early stage with is 10x cheaper in average than fixing bugs on late stages.
We use static code analyzers as well as commercial software to improve the overall development performance.
