A software development process that promotes transparency and flexibility

Cornerstones of Process

Collaboration and Transparency

Our clients are all different. Their challenges are specific and their way of doing business is unique. Some know exactly what they need while others seek guidance for options. Some have experience in building software solutions while others have reservations about what they don't know.

Collaboration and transparency can transcend these differences. Requirements change, but that doesn't mean timeline and budget have to change along with it. Often, there are many paths that lead to a solution.

Learn

Good listening, along with critical thinking and analysis, leads to deep understanding of the organization, its environment and its business

Collaborate

We engender collaboration among a cross-functional team involving various departments within the organization and levels in the organizational hierarchy

Recommend

We analyze the actual problem and gain a deep understanding of possible solutions - only then can we offer recommendations that align with future goals

Software Development Process

Agile & DevOps

Gavant combines leading best practices with proven methodology to employ a process that promotes flexibility. We're able to adapt to changing requirements and still ensure that budget and timeline constraints can be met.

Iterative Improvement

An iterative approach to development enables our clients to see and test, early and often. Incorporating input and stakeholder feedback is critical to ensuring a successful delivery.

Predictable Delivery

Shorter release sprints of working features offers concrete guidance of time and cost. There's no guesswork as where the project is at - you can see what's done and what's not.

Higher ROI

The agile method's iterative approach also means the end product is ready for market faster. This enables you to stay ahead of competing headwinds and capture value sooner.

QA Process

CI/CD Pipeline

Modern software development requires a reliable CI/CD pipeline that facilitates testing early and often. The ability to identify defects right at the time of development provides two distinct advantages. First, the context is fresh in the engineer's head, and so troubleshooting and resolution are as efficient as possible. Second, we see the issue before the client does, and that delivers peace of mind.

Comprehensive Strategy

Unit Testing

We validate the smallest components of the system, ensuring they handle known input and outputs correctly

Integration Testing

We exercise the entire subsystem and ensure that all components, libraries and dependencies play nicely together

Automated Testing

We incorporate automated testing as part of the CI/CD pipeline to prevent regressions and improve efficiency

Functional Testing

We verify end-to-end scenarios that users will engage in and make changes that improve overall user experience

Business Process

Decisions Driven By Data

A client-first mindset drives every conversation, from determining alignment on the very first meeting to defining requirements for a new release. Behind the scenes, we employ multiple strategies for mitigating risk and tailoring SDLC best practices with unique client needs.

Mindset

It's About Efficiency

Process steps like retros hold us accountable for how well a release went. This enables an iterative approach to improved efficiency, which lowers overhead and cost.

It's About Quality

Through peer code reviews and collaborative documentation, we can ensure high quality standards and facilitate redundancy across other members of the team.

It's About Communication

A relentless pursuit of alignment ensures feedback is collected at every step of the process. This is the cornerstone for delivering on expectation, on time, and on budget.
