Custom Development
BrickRed is helping clients with application development & sustenance expertise, covering the full scope of offering – analysis, development, implementations and ongoing sustenance. Business critical applications have a direct impact on client’s top line, and therefore developing cost effective applications is only the first step. It is even more important to develop a scalable application which can be easily maintained thus lowering the total cost of owning the applications.
Over the last 9 years BrickRed has been development partner to many organizations in making their custom applications, helping them achieve faster ROI and much lower ongoing maintenance costs. Some of the practices due to which BrickRed has been highly successful at building custom applications:
Agile development process:
In today’s dynamic world business demands and feature requests are ever changing so we use agile based development methodology, wherein the release happens every 2-4 weeks and followed up with a demo to stakeholders of application. This reduces the uncertainty and keeps everybody aware of the evolving applications.
High Stress on Requirements:
We believe one of the primary reasons because of which the software projects fail is because of misunderstood requirements. We at BrickRed have created a methodology where in the requirements are not only discussed and captured upfront but also a UI Prototype is made right at the start of application development which takes away a lot of surprises.
QA & Testing Capability:
At BrickRed, we give a high importance to test planning and testing of the applications and we typically have dedicated testing team members working on the application ensuring quality, performance and compliance to specifications. We have a comprehensive QA & testing capability with expertise in behavioral, compatibility, performance and automation testing.
Technology Depth:
We have a dedicated ‘Technology Specialist Group’ (TSG) comprising of technology gurus, assisting with on-demand technical expertise and also ensuring that engineering team is continuously updated and trained on new technologies. Especially in case of custom development, such TSG knowledge helps in making the right choices with regards to open source or commercially available third party tools/components.
Focus on Open Source
BrickRed and its research oriented technical staff are currently contributing in more than 10 popular open source projects. In fact BrickRed is the leading developer in 2 open source projects, which are fast becoming very popular.
Full Visibility and Transparency
BrickRed has implemented really agile processes using JIRA and Greenhopper for smooth tracking of project progress, and we also use tools like Confluence and TFS for seamless collaboration. It is always our endeavor to keep the client informed with all challenges, issues and project progress and ensuring full visibility and transparency.
