IT Methodology - Agile Development & eXtreme Programming (XP)
MDS places special emphasis on daily achievements / progress in most projects it undertakes. We believe in frequently and rapidly delivering smaller units of a project that are useful to the customer and receiving more frequent feedback. This approach prioritizes development of the simplest functionality first and the more complex functionality at a later stage so the customer is able to see tangible progress much earlier in the development cycle.
- Planning - User Stories, Iteration Planning, Release Planning, Cross Training
- Designing - Involve Customer, Simplicity, Current Functionality
- Coding - Early Feedback, Incremental Release, Late Optimization, Frequent Code Integration (daily), Collective Code Ownership
- Testing - Unit Testing, Acceptance/Functional Testing
We deliver frequent incremental builds to most customers so as to receive feedback early and on an ongoing basis, thereby reducing total costs. Such an approach facilitates late & ongoing changes to requirements. In most cases, we also try to achieve the pair programming model recommended in XP. We pay continuous attention to technical excellence and good design.
