Development Disciplines

Above all other aspects of our Professional Services approach is our commitment to a set of core development disciplines. Each Tachometry developer is trained in our five core development disciplines. These self-imposed best practices allow us to generate higher-quality code, clear deliverables and consistent, quantifiable results.

Version Control

Each Tachometry developer is trained in the advanced features of the most popular version control systems. Focused on non-repudiated, secure management of code deployment and revisions, each Tachometry team member has the ability to work seamlessly in your environment. Whether you are currently using CVS, Subversion, or even need some assistance in getting started, our team will be ready with the skills and experience to hit the ground running on your project deliverables.

Continuous Integration

Your Tachometry Professional Services team recognizes the importance of iterative, incremental source code build-and-test integration. Eliminating the risk associated with extensive code base and dependency changes, the integrated build process accelerates regression testing and adds a peace of mind that your project is progressing smoothly and without unwanted surprises.

Testing

Before the first line of production code is written, our disciplined developers have already implemented several ways to test the target code block. We use an optimized “test-first” approach for new development that improves quality and accelerates the delivery timeline by removing any ambiguity – each method is complete as soon as its unit tests pass. Our developers work diligently to write code that passes a comprehensive unit test suite before it is ever committed to the repository. Certification that the atomic pieces of an application are working as expected at any given point in time not only adds peace of mind to the project team; it dramatically reduces the cost of maintenance over time.

Peer Review

Each of our developers reviews other team member’s work. This allows us to not only catch potential problems early in the development cycle, it allows our developers to learn in a supportive environment that accelerates the transfer of knowledge and improves the overall quality of the product.

Living Documentation

While we have seen projects that require days of tedious code review to make heads or tails of what a previous developer was attempting to accomplish, we make it a priority to never leave a project without consistent, clear and concise documentation. Starting with industry-proven coding and documentation standards, Tachometry developers document their work from the outset of your project. We believe a fully-documented application is an effective hedge against the potential costs of knowledge transfer as the project moves through the software lifecycle.
