Development

Evolutionary Software Development

We start all development from a "customer's vision", capture that knowledge and process it

within a knowledge base. From this knowledge base we are able to design, modify, and add

functionality to the system, and (this is the best part) automatically generate 100% of the

database and application programs!

So you ask, How do we do it? We develop using GeneXus. "The Intelligent Tool"

Some of the key features of Genexus can be explained below.

For those interested in learning about more our development process, check out numerous

articles written about eXtreme Programming (XP).

Intelligent Design

By this we simply mean, we start the design of the system with what is known about the

process at that time. We do not try to anticipate future requirements, by cluttering the system

with features we "think" we may need later. We also make sure everything is very well defined

in the system, and everyone working with the system has an exact image of the meaning.

Iterative Development

This is how new software requirements are added. We do exactly what is necessary to obtain

the desired response and no more. Later as new requirements are requested or modifications

to existing software are discovered we make the necessary changes as needed when needed.

What's the bottom line here? Well the real advantage is the users of the software get to see

how well it works to solve their problem at hand. If they don't like the way the software works,

they can change it with minimal impact on the project.

Choice of Deployment

This is the ability to now take the software we have designed and developed in the above two

steps and place it on or in the hardware/database management system environment.

Which brings me to the next (and most important point).

Change Automation

So we see from the Iterative development process that if requirements are added or changed

we have the ability to rapidly integrate them into the system. But what if something big

changes, (Like we choose to use different database software or bigger yet, a different hardware

platform, or even choose to run it using a new language like C#)

GeneXus will re-generate the entire system instantly!

This allows you the freedom to have your system run how and where you want.
