Development Practices
We aim to follow, and promote the use of, "best practice" (that is, of recognised and
well-established industry-standard practices, techniques and methodologies) in all that
we do.
In the case of software development, this includes the use of: "appropriate" and effective
design and development methodologies (with the degree of formality depending on the nature and
complexity of the project); methods for recording requirements and tracking changes;
structured and modular design; design reviews and walkthroughs; phased development;
prototyping; structured and modular code; coding standards; code re-use; code reviews
and walkthroughs; continuous and rigorous testing (at the component and system level);
methods for recording "bugs" and tracking code changes.
