Quality & Competitiveness
Here at Cross Product we have amazing young folks passionate about providing solutions for building better software.
The innovative and inherently flexible structure of our team allows us to provide high quality code while cutting down traditional costs, allowing us to not only provide much more competitive pricing, but also select a handpicked team of experts specially suited for your needs.
Code quality is a problem all software developers face.
Poor code quality reduces the productivity of the team, causes crashes in production, necessitates more frequent application decommissioning & accrues the company a bad reputation.
At Cross Product, we make sure Security, Reliability and Maintainability are our leading coding philosophy.
Security
Vulnerabilities and flaws in programs may lead to an usage of application in a way it was not designed for at best, or leaks to third-party intruders at worst, and everything in between.
Security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting can result from poor coding and architectural practices. Proper code writing, in accordance with the CERT-CWE standards prevents those issues from surfacing in code.
Reliability
In order to write code that will neither be “bugged” nor have unexpected behavior at runtime, we consider, when writing code, every angle that might generate operational risks or unexpected behavior at runtime. It generally takes the form of critical programming errors that could cause a business disruption.
Some of these issues will lie in a simple lack of compliance with best practices, but most will be eliminated after in-depth analysis of the code and its symbolic execution to understand the state of variables at any given point in the program.
Maintainability
When trying to avoid what is commonly called technical debt, writing code is by essence an exercise in modular design: it needs to be written while keeping in mind it will be changed over time. The ability, cost and time to make changes in a code base correlates directly to its level of maintainability.
In other words, low maintainability directly equates with low productivity for development teams. Maintainability includes many concepts such as flexibility, understandability, changeability, testability and reusability. It does not take the form of critical issues, but is rather the result of thousands of minor issues with best practices.
Our development process and approaches
At Cross Product, we tailor the software development process to your specific business needs to deliver high-quality software on time and at highly competitive costs.
Agile methodology
The Agile methodology allows us to release reliable software fast while maintaining the ability to introduce changes easily. The development process consists of 1-4 week iterations resulting in an evolved version of software shipped each time. After each iteration, real user feedback drives informed decisions on the next developmental increments.
Our commonly used variations include Waterfall, V-Model, Scrum and Kanban, among many other Software development life cycle (SDLC) models. Each of them come with different benefits regarding workflow organization as well as the type of relationships established between the team and the customer.
QA and testing
We keep up software quality with continuous testing, starting from unit tests and code reviews done by our developers to functionality, performance, usability, integration, compatibility and security testing by our QA team.
A reasonable amount of test automation helps us speed up software delivery and minimize the number of missed bugs.
Risk & change management
We define and estimate risks related to the project budget, delivery time, cybersecurity, new technologies and personnel.
Then, we prepare a mitigation plan for each risk, monitor risks and report to responsible project stakeholders to keep all parties informed about existing risks and their states and ensure the consistency of risk management actions.
We then review the required software changes with all parties concerned, analyzing how the changes will impact software business logic and adapting it accordingly before any change implementation.
Project delivery
Upon the delivery of the project, our customers receive everything necessary to fully use, expand and work on the project they commissioned: documentation (technical requirements and design), the user manual, a setup program, installation and maintenance instructions as well as the source code.
Our customers retain full intellectual property rights over the software. If required, upon software completion, we also offer maintenance and support services to help continuously improve, develop and interate on the software.
