Development methodologies

The main development process methodologies used by Heldi are eXtreme Programming (XP) and Microsoft Solutions Framework ( MSF).

eXtreme Programming (XP) is a discipline of software development based on values of simplicity, communication, feedback, and courage. It works by bringing the whole team together in the presence of simple practices, with enough feedback to enable the team to see where they are and to tune the practices to their unique situation.

We use the following software NUnit, JUnit, DatabaseUnit, Mantis, PHPCollad, WiKi.

Microsoft Solutions Framework is a flexible, interrelated series of concepts, models, and best practices that serve as a foundation on how to plan, build, and deploy the projects. MSF principles and practices help organizations implement technology solutions that meet business objectives.

Technology project success depends as much on business objective alignment, project management, and development processes as on writing quality code. Merely choosing a technology is insufficient: True business success is achieved by maximizing the effectiveness of the technologies selected. The Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) provides guidance to manage people and processes in the application development cycle. Created as a framework instead of a methodology, MSF is flexible enough to adapt to meet project and organizational needs.

Integration of these two most powerful methodologies as standards has improved the whole software development process in our company, thus reducing customer risks.

We are always there to research and consult you about which technologies provide the optimal cost/performance ratio for your software. Heldi IT Analysts and Software Architects will approach each case individually and propose the most cost-effective technical solution.
