How Stixis does it

That’s a question that satisfied clients often pose to us when we sit to review the application after we have completed development. The points below cover our approach and methodology, simplified:

The Stixis advantage

One often encounters software that is robust in terms of programming, but they do not include various other factors such usability and scalability. You need to keep a hawk eye on changing trends and market scenarios, while ensure that your application is technically a premium product. Stixis offers Application Development services that promise to be custom created to suit your requirements, meet your overall objectives and retain a high level of quality and flexibility. We also understand that apart from developing an application tailored for you, we are also looked upon to take on a role of consultants who will constantly recommend changes to ensure that the application we develop for you maintains its sheen throughout. Our approach toward Application Development combines CMM level benchmarks and Agile practices.

Application Integration

Application Integration is the process of integrating an application into a design, module, platform or technology.

Problems companies face with Application Integrating

Often, we come across situations wherein companies develop applications and at the end realize that the application is incompatible with a host of external applications that it needs to operate with in cohesion. These results in loss of time and almost zero chances of getting any returns on the money you have invested.

Application Maintenance and Support

IT companies end up spending a lot for the maintenance of support of the application. Large enterprises allocate a huge chunk of their IT budget to this exercise and smaller companies, due to the expenditure involved, have to forego of this very important requisite of application development.

Apart from robust Application Development services, Stixis delivers the highest level of management service to end users via the industry best practices. We provide proactive, day-to-day monitoring and operational management of the technical aspects of applications and databases, plus other services to cope with dynamic environments and business requirements.

Application Testing Services

By employing the rigorous and finer aspects of the CMM development process and combining them with the Rational Unified Process (RUP) best practices and Agile development methodologies we ensure the high quality, extensibility of the end software applications, as well as time to commercial release of the delivered products. Application Testing basically means studying an entire application, clicking wherever required and going through the entire process that involves end user and back-end programming connectivity to understand how functional, robust and good a system is.

Importance of Application testing

The "price-time-functionality equation" is well known product development. An application has to be functionally ready and perform to the best of its capability, before it goes into the market. End users are usually unforgiving. A bad experience dents their mind and hence it is very important that an application is properly tested and fixed before an end user gets to try it out. Apart from an end user perspective, it is important from a brand standpoint, to ensure that your application holds up well against competition.

Our Testing process incorporates the following phases and steps:

Construction Phase:

» Elaboration and extension of test cases, business testing and
automated testing scenarios

» Functional testing, including automated testing

» Regression testing of the new builds

» Preparation of the regular test result reports

» Performance, stress, security, other non-functional testing

Inception and Elaboration Phases:

» Reviews of software requirements specifications

» Definition of detailed test plan

» Definition of functional test cases

Transition Phase:

» Customer testing

» Overall testing results summarization and evaluation

Benefits of Application testing

It is important for any company to know the way their application functions. Reading a business plan or a business analysts’ flowchart or a project lead’s SRS document gives you an understanding of an application. But how the application actually performs and if it meets all the objectives that it was meant to can be known only by testing. Some benefits of application testing are:

» Get an in-depth understanding of your application

» Get to know the pros and cons

» Come across areas that can be enhanced, module that can be modified and sections that can be done away with

» Once a project is live, there is less interest and intent to fix it. All fixes need to happen before it goes live and that is possible only due to testing

The Stixis advantage
