Delivery Process

This arrangement allows a set budget project budget limit. During the lifecycle of the project each new feature is prioritised to ensure those with most benefits are delivered first. Features with less value (nice to haves) are left until the end to be included if the budget allows.

Consurs develops software in using a variety of platforms , our main preference is for using Microsoft Technologies. Regardless of the development technology we always ensure our code is:

Maintainable: regular code reviews, clearly defined naming conventions and easy to use internal frameworks ensure code is consistent and not repetitive through the application.
Reusable: extensive use of design patterns, common libraries and high quality third party components reduces development cost and time to delivery.
Efficient: We use a wide variety of tools and methods to ensure our applications are optimised for performance.

Consurs develops high quality user interfaces. The importance of an appealing and user intuitive user interface has risen significantly in the last few years due to the arrival of Apple and Android products. A well-designed user interface will enhance user experience and improve workplace productivity. Our user interfaces are:

Simple and Intuitive We simplify our user interfaces by dividing them into clear functional areas, by reducing amounts of scrolling and repetitive data entry.
Interactive and responsive Сlient-side programming, multithreading, progress bars and notifications enable the user to have a better experience.
Aesthetically pleasing Our graphic designer capabilities visually enhance our applications which make them more appealing to the users.

Every company wants a high quality, reliable product and we do everything within our powers (and sometimes – beyond) to ensure that our Clients get just this. Consurs implements vigorous testing at each stage:

Unit testing (automatic and/or manual) is always performed by Consurs as part of any development iteration. A developed module is tested against requirements as a standalone unit. The developed module is also tested for adherence to the highest standards.
Integration testing is performed when major parts of a project are released or at the end of the project. System testing is carried out by the testing specialist against test cases prepared based on the functional specifications. System testing can also involve performance and integration testing.
User acceptance testing is usually performed by the customer. This stage also requires involvement of our testing and development teams. The user acceptance testing takes place before project delivery.

Software security is the most important part of any software product. Most applications require internet access thus obligating developers to pay greater attention to security. Consurs possesses significant experience in this area with delivering projects for financial and law enforcement agencies. We use internal security check lists as well as external consultants to protect:

Data Communications: all data transferred over internet requires protection. We recommend SSL as minimum requirement for data communication protection.
Information storage: both database and stored information require protection against unauthorised access. Securing the database server, using appropriate authentication methods and encrypting sensitive data ensures customer information is safe.
Application security: we examine the web application for information leakage, SQL injection, session hijacking, cross-site scripting, and cross-site request forgery. We protect information by using best practices of encryption and hashing
