Improving your software incrementally

The first stages of a new software development project are about establishing what you need, then delivering it as quickly and effectively as we can. Our crack team of in-house developers makes sure the first release of your software includes the most important functions, in a package which is easy to use.

How we build on our development beginnings

We then move into a second phase of development which sees us focus on testing, improving and adding to the software we’ve created for you. We’ll make incremental improvements so you’ll see changes fast:

• We make sure everything works properly. You can never do enough testing. We check small chunks of code individually and do lots of automated testing, because it works and it’s cost-effective.
  
• We show you the test results. We’re proud of how we work and we do things properly. So we won’t hide the results of any testing from you. If we find any problems, you’ll know everything we do.
  
• We let you test it too. We don’t expect you to sign off on the software until you’ve tried it. We’ll probably agree some tests for you to perform – this is called ‘user acceptance testing’.
  
• We fix bugs at no extra cost. We’re here to solve problems, not create them. So we won’t ask you to pay to fix bugs we’ve caused – we’ll just get them sorted nice and quickly.

Ongoing software development

We don’t think software development should stop after the first release. So we’ll be here to improve and build upon that first version.

All our experience shows that the best way to create killer software is to be aggressive and agile. Instead of taking months to make hundreds of improvements, we take an incremental approach. This means that every few weeks there’ll be a new version of your software, with new features and improvements.

This flexible approach makes it easier for us to meet your requests quickly. And because you always have clear sight of what we’re working on, it’s easy for you to feed new ideas and requests into us.

We’re ready to build a great working relationship with you.
