In Brief
It’s crucial to have a framework in place to steer projects in the right direction, and that’s why we’ve perfected a series of procedures that guarantee each project is crafted with excellence and creativity at its core. These key processes, carefully designed and consistently improved, cover three domains: Architecture, Execution, and the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
Let’s take a look at what sets Edify’s key processes apart and why they are important to ensure your project’s success.
What are Development Key Processes?
Key processes at Edify are mandatory, essential elements embedded in every project we work on. These processes are designed specifically to meet your project needs and are meticulously monitored.
They play a crucial role in evaluating a project’s overall health and progress and ensure that each project adheres to the highest standards of quality and efficiency.
Architecture:
Building the Blueprint
Architecture is the cornerstone of any successful software development project. At Edify, we start by outlining a comprehensive blueprint that includes:
- System Architecture: This involves outlining the components, modules, and applications that form the backbone of your project. We delve into your business model and domains to ensure seamless integrations and a robust data model.
- Security Requirements: We adopt OWASP Design principles and establish stringent security protocols, including authentication and authorization strategies like RBAC.
- Front-End Architecture: Whether it’s micro front-ends, single-page applications, or progressive web apps, we tailor the front-end architecture to meet your project’s unique needs.
Implementation:
Turning Plans into Reality
Through Edify’s agile workflow, the implementation phase transforms architectural blueprints into functional components. Here’s how we do it:
- API Guidelines: We define REST/GraphQL/Websockets API guidelines, ensuring well-documented exceptions where necessary.
- HTML Semantic Guidelines: Adopting HTML semantic standards is crucial for accessibility and SEO.
- Responsive Standards and Accessibility (a11y): Every project evaluates the need for responsiveness and accessibility (WCAG 2.1 Level AA), with decisions thoroughly documented.
- CSS Architecture and Story Books: From CSS architecture recommendations to determining the need for storybooks, we ensure a seamless design and development process.
- System Technology Stack: We define the technology stack, including runtime, language, build tools, frameworks, and observability tools.
Software Development Life-Cycle (SDLC):
Ensuring Excellence
The SDLC processes at Edify follow strict software development principles, ensuring that each project meets and exceeds quality standards. These project-specific processes include:
- Documentation Repository: Identifying a suitable repository (e.g., Confluence) to maintain comprehensive project documentation.
- Development Cycle and Code Repository Conventions: Defining development cycles, code repository conventions, branching strategies, and commit guidelines to maintain code hygiene and integrity.
- Peer Reviews and Testing Strategies: Establishing robust peer review workflows, pull request templates, and testing strategies (unit tests, integration tests, E2E) to ensure thorough validation at every stage.
- Static Code Analysis: Implementing static code analysis tools with defined thresholds and strategies to address technical debt and immediate fixes.
