Methodology

Applied Software Engineering’ development methodology promotes a result-oriented collaborative approach and ensures superior customer service, without affecting quality and cost. We are always enhancing our methodology to exceed client expectations through optimal development operations that lead to optimal results.

We combine leading sectoral practices spanning from the traditional Waterfall model to modern Agile methodologies.

Delivering projects with mixed teams

We have been working in projects that see teams based all over the world. The best distributed development enhances business agility and gives more capacity to beat the competition, but there can be major challenges too. It’s important for us to:

  • Communicate Clearly & Unambiguously

    Across different countries, time zones, languages and / or cultures

  • Manage All Aspects Of The Software Development Lifecycle

    Needs analysis, change and assets, tests, coding – in a fully distributed environment.

  • Use All Our Experience

    To prevent overlaps and conflicting delivery terms.

Agile for distributed development

  • The Agile helps to work collaboratively with the client and to ensure the vision, business targets, and user needs are met and ensures that all remote teams work to deliver priority features first.
  • Sprint reviews makes ensured to review newly-delivered features and share feedback.
  • Continuous integration sets up regular collaborative touchpoints between all remote teams, making it easy to solve problems as they crop up.
  • Test-driven development supports the simplest design with good test coverage, while preventing the creation of additional features not needed by the product owner.
  • Refactoring promotes an evolutionary design ethos and supports teams in tackling architectural problems.
