Application development approach

Our application development approach is based upon an effective blend of agile/lean development methods with process-oriented frameworks like RUP and CMMI framework.

Our experience shows that one of the key elements to successfully managing software development is to ensure regular and visible feedback from the project team. Incremental and iterative development, where software is developed and delivered for client review in small increments (typically 2 weeks) is a proven method to provide this feedback.

This method addresses the risks of analysis paralysis, so typical for waterfall method, where no real software product gets delivered for months and business has virtually no ability to steer the project effectively on a regular basis. In contrast, approach practiced by C.T.Co establishes the project “heartbeat” – time-boxed iterations consistently delivering integrated enhanced software product versions, with each version receiving new functionalities and/or bug fixes with each iteration cycle.

Business is fully in the driving seat, since iteration planning allows re-prioritization of the development team efforts practically at any time. Frequent product deliveries allow business to provide feedback, which can be implemented rapidly in the next iterations.

Software development process quality is assured on multiple levels:
  • adherence to standard company project management processes
  • regular internal audits
  • regular management reviews
  • analysis and improvement of processes based on audits and reviews findings
  • management of nonconformities, corrective and preventive actions

High product quality is achieved by application of several methods such as solid configuration management practices, adherence to standards and guidelines, work product reviews and comprehensive multi-level software testing (unit testing, functional testing, automated regression testing, performance testing).

Quality of C.T.Co work products and services is one of the key differentiators that turn our client relationships into successful lasting partnerships.

Affirming our value proposition is the trust earned by C.T.Co from the clients, where we have been awarded the mandate to drive the most strategic large-scale projects to their successful completion.
