Coding and Testing
The Software Engineers at STI have extensive experience in helping organizations improve their testing processes by using highly respected industry standards such as SEI CMM. We believe software design and testing can be done efficiently, with minimum redundancy, to remove defects early and improve delivery time.
STI has experience with many facets of software process improvement and quality programs that allow us to design and test software without isolation. We understand that many other aspects of quality and process are integral to an overall software quality program and we are committed to helping your organization achieve software development excellence.
Because coding and testing is a complex art, many software companies take a hiatus from the customer during this process. At STI, we take advantage of customer interaction during this time which often dramatically reduces the amount of software redesign during quality assurance testing.
The STI Software Engineers apply the following best practices:
Iterative Development
Meet with the client and prioritize all the features (Release 1.0, Release 1.1, Release 1.3). By breaking features into smaller releases, the development team can more quickly deliver the solution to testing so that the client is involved more quickly
Customer Design Reviews
Detailed design document allows our development team to thoroughly think through the development approach, and to determine the effort involved in delivering each functional specification item.
Customer Test Plan Review
Once all the functional specification items have been defined software professionals develop a detailed test plan to determine the effort involved in providing adequate test coverage for each functional specification item.
Customer Interface
Our constant interaction with the our client allows them to help decide the severity and priority of the defects and can offer insight as to why/how the defect affects their user base. By using an automated tracking tool for defects, we can provide updates as the review process is going on.
