SOFTWARE AND MOBILE TESTING Projects and services for web

BDD (Behavior-driven Development)

Creating testing departments for large

projects/products

Installing/testing the mobile applications

Automated testing

TDD (Test Driven Development)

The waterfall model is a sequential design process, used in software develop-

ment processes. Progress is seen as flowing steadily downwards (like a

waterfall) through the phases of conception, initiation, analysis, design,

construction, testing, production/implementation and maintenance.

The waterfall development model originates in the manufacturing and con-

struction industries: highly structured physical environments in which

after-the-fact changes are prohibitively costly, if not impossible. Since no formal

software development methodologies existed at the time, this hardware-oriented

model was simply adapted for software development.

METHODOLOGIESAbout our processes

AGILE (SCRUM)

WATERFALL MODEL

Scrum is a team process that begins when a client needs a product. The Scrum

team includes three roles: product owner, ScrumMaster, and members of the

development team. The product is built incrementally over a series of short time

periods - sprints. A sprint is a fixed period, up to four weeks long but with a

preference toward shorter intervals.

During each sprint, the Scrum team builds and delivers a product increment.

Each increment is a recognizable, visibly improved, operating subset of the

product. It meets understood acceptance criteria and is built to a level of quality

referred to as the Definition of Done.

PRICING MODELSHow we work

FIXED PRICE TIME & MATERIAL DEDICATED TEAM

IDEAL FOR

Small- and mid-sized projects with no unknowns and

clearly defined deadlines.

Such a model is used when the customer does not

want to delve into technical details of the project and

plans to get ready-made solution within the

determined project budget and timeline.

IDEAL FOR

Medium and large projects with many unknowns and flexible project scope or for the projects in their maintenance phase.This business model is quite flexible and highly efficient when it is hard to predict the final cost of the project and when the customer's requirements depend on different factors.

IDEAL FOR

Projects constantly innovating and developing and having own project management staff. If you have your own management team and well-defined project idea, GNS can provide you with dedicated team of designers, developers and QA who will work particularly on your project from its very start up to release.

This low-risk model assures that the final

solution will match the requirements and

correspond the agreed scope. At the same

time we meet the expected timelines and

deliverables offering you reasonable project

cost.

There is a certain risk for the client in case:

- it is hard to predict the precise cost, time

limits, efforts to be spent;

- the development process needs control and

improvement at any stage.

It means Time & Material or Dedicated Team

Business Model is more desirable.

Time & Material is one of the most efficient

pricing models. It offers enormous flexibility

and control over your budget. Utilizing this

model with consumer-oriented projects

enables you to:

- quickly and efficiently respond to the

market trends;

- deliver solution with minimum time-to-

market.

If you want to get more control over

the project budget or define the time limits

more clearly, you should choose another

pricing model: Dedicated Team or Fixed

Price.

Dedicated Team engagement model allows

you to manage our engineering team as

your own development department or as an

extension to it.

We either form your team out of our

development staff or provide a team with an

experienced project manager.
