Software engineering is the application of engineering principles and methods of design to the production of software. It covers not only the technical aspects of building software systems, but also management issues such as, directing programming teams, scheduling, and budgeting. In short, software engineering is a highly disciplined approach to software development, delivery, and maintenance.
Today, there are a number of software development methodologies, or software development life cycle (SDLC) models commonly used to develop software. They vary from a traditional 'Waterfall Models' to 'Iterative/Incremental Models' and then several variation of RAD including eXtreme Programming and Agile techniques.
We offer the following services:
Assessment of the current software engineering practices and habits within the organization
Quantification of the impact of these practices on overall product quality
Migration from traditional development models (e.g. Waterfall) to incremental and RAD (e.g. Agile) models and vice-versa
Identification of the best relevant practices in software development, delivery, and maintenance matched and deployed within the organizational constraints such as budget, staff, culture, mission, etc.
Evaluation, selection, deployment, and training of tools and technologies within organizational constraints such as budget, staff, culture, mission, etc.
