Software development is unique, exclusive and specific.

Fornax has expertise in many technologies to build web, mobile or client-server applications.

We make use of the best tools and methodologies to develop, test and maintain software. With an experienced software architect and business analyst team, we are able to quickly map and understand our customer environment and needs. As a result, we can rapidly deliver solutions with great quality.

We operate with KPIs to ensure productivity and quality throughout each and every step of the software development. With this we are able to increase re-use of components, improving outcomes while reducing delivery time and costs.

Tests Factory

In this solution we deliver and guarantee an automated testing process, resulting in greater coverage in less time. The process is carried out by a team composed of certified professionals, consulting you from the initial definition of tests, through to their integration and deployment. Finally, our team will support you with the automation and integration of the testing process into your development life-cycle.

Our team specialises in several technologies and can be allocated to execute complete projects or ad-hoc requests.

QUALITY AND TESTS

Business milestones guide application development. Poor testing can have a detrimental effect on processes, causing delays and extra costs as a consequence of necessary corrections.

Fornax uses techniques and qualified professionals to prevent and reduce the number of defects, through:

  • Automated testing scripts elaboration.
  • Regression and behavioural automated testing.
  • Continuous integration for deployments and automated tests.
  • Use of tools and methodologies to track and link test cases with system requirements (TestManager, TestLink, xUnit, Jenkins, Selenium and TesteComplete).
  • Methodologies for planning, prioritization and test execution during the whole lifecycle development. The aim being to detect flaws and discover errors as soon as possible to reduce resources required for maintenance.
  • Disciplined bug management process to prioritize and plan corrections.
  • Specialized techniques to formulate non-functional testing like: performance, availability, security and usability (User Experience – UX).

In partnership with Fornax Technology, your applications will be delivered in parts, with shorter time frames. This leads to anticipating errors and reduces risks related to delays, loss of commercial opportunities and non-acceptance by the client.

Agile Development Methodologies

To attend our customers’ needs, our process was conceived to be flexible and dynamic.

During the early phases of projects, we decide together with the customer which methodology will create and deliver more value.

We have experience and a portfolio containing projects that used agile (Scrum, XP or Kanban) and classic methodologies (always aligned with the PMI good practises).

Our methodology is supported by indicators, demonstrating clearly the real status of each project phase.

DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES

Our software development process captures best market practices, is applicable to any project or organization and uses a disciplined approach to assign tasks and responsibilities.
