About Code Genesys
We are devoted to the design and development of dynamic, content-rich web applications that can be accessed from all leading end user platforms and mobile devices. We use open, scalable, flexible application software design and development, building applications that can be scaled horizontally and vertically. Applications are written once and easily deployed to industry standards based existing and future platforms. We do all of this in a development environment best suited to the business and technical needs of our client. To learn more about specific services we have provided, take a look at some sample Case Studies.
Development Philosophy
-
1. Employ development methodology that meets Clients overall needs.
The "best" software development methodology for any organization depends on many factors. Code Genesys works with the Client to figure out the most pragmatic approach, often melding the predictabilty of Waterfall development with the flexibilty of an Agile approach.
-
2. Design and build for multiple platforms and minimum maintenance.
Using a Database / Middleware / User Interface architecture, we enable:
- » Vertical scalability to maximize hardware and software resources
- » Horizontal scalability to optimize clustering
- » Rich User Interface, providing simplicity, usability, and appeal
We support multiple server side platforms and end user platforms:
- » PC Netbook computers / iPhone & iPad / Android / Palm / Blackberry
We employ "holistic" performance analyses.
-
3. Create a Development and Build Environment to maximize productivity.
We employ practices for revision control, build automation, unit testing and deployment, leading to:
- » Early detection and elimination of bugs
- » Continuous detection and repair of integration problems
- » Constant availbility of current build for testing or realease
- » Feedback to developers on quality, functionality or system-wide impact of code they are writing.
- » Simplified refactoring.
Agile vs. Waterfall Development
The "best" software development methodology depends on the size and complexity of the organization, the size and complexity of the technical environment and development needs, the speed at which the business is changing, and budgeting cycles.
Two ends of the development spectrum are the waterfall development approach and an agile approach. The most pragmatic approach for many organizations is something in between, that melds the predictabilty of Waterfall development with the flexibilty of an Agile approach.
| Agile | Waterfall | |
|---|---|---|
| Business and Technology Environment | changing, possibly rapidly | very stable |
| Organization Structure | development driven | top-down |
| Interaction of Business and Software Development | high, development goals linked with business goals | lower, minimal interaction and shared goals |
| Benefits | reduced risk by constantly delivering usable products, quicker to market, increased adapability, better visibility | ability to coordinate large, distributed teams, more precise budgeting, easier to analyze potential system-wide changes |
Code Genesys can help our client's assess the business and technical priorities that surround the software development needs. This leads to a rational choice as to where on the spectrum is most supportive of the clients overall needs and maximizes the benefits of tradeoffs.
