- Modeling of app features and feature dependencies.
- Feature prioritization for agile development and fast app deployment.
Risk of software overcomplexity
Solution:
- Sustainable software architecture with well-planned dependencies between layers and modules.
- High-quality and easily maintainable code due to extensive code reuse, unit testing and code reviews.
Risk of poor process coordination
Solution:
- Development project split in sub-projects with dedicated project managers.
- DevOps practices to eliminate infrastructure-related issues.
- Accurate, up-to-date, and detailed documentation.

Our Customers Say
ScienceSoft’s C++ developers have been assisting Supponor in the ongoing development of the software for the past 11 years. ScienceSoft’s experience in cross-platform, real-time systems, and computer graphics helps to ensure consistently high performance and wide compatibility of Supponor’s products. We know we can rely on ScienceSoft’s experts and trust their excellent understanding of what our clients demand from Supponor software.
The challenge [of the projects] was not only to provide quality development services but to collaborate with two international teams engaged in the project implementation. ScienceSoft accomplished this task in a highly productive and efficient way.
Due to our business growth, we decided to outsource the continuous development, support and maintenance of our proprietary internal systems. We engaged ScienceSoft as our development partner. ScienceSoft coordinated knowledge transfer, discovery of our internal systems, then transitioned into supporting those systems and taking on projects to evolve their functionality.
