Best Railwaymen’s Implemented Practices
In the realm of software design and development, adherence to a set of paramount best practices is imperative. These practices serve as a means to enhance organizational efficiency and productivity, a commitment we wholeheartedly embrace at Railwaymen.
Key Technology Goals and Strategies
At Railwaymen, we dedicate substantial attention to the advancement of our areas of expertise. Specifically, we ensure that our proficiency in Ruby on Rails remains at the highest level, as it serves as our flagship technology. Nevertheless, this does not imply that we are resistant to embracing new advancements. We actively strive for our company to acquire knowledge and valuable experience in other beneficial technologies.
Critical Role of Software Architecture
The architecture of the overall solution is of the greatest importance, in which we are considering whether to divide the front-end through a single-page application or start a comprehensive integration.
In addition, we diligently take care of adopting the most modern versions of tools used in the implementation of each project. In addition, we use a wide range of add-on libraries that provide specific functionality such as authentication and authorization. When it comes to external integration, we are actively exploring new libraries and available solutions.
Optimization of Railwaymen’s development processes
When working on apps, the objective is frequently to offer the solution as soon and efficiently as feasible, while simultaneously lowering development expenses. To achieve these objectives, software development teams frequently adopt a variety of methodologies and tactics. Some of the most frequent strategies are:
- Using various frameworks, libraries, ready to use components and 3rd party integrations
- Organizing the team based on tasks at which they have proven themselves previously to take advantage of experience and expertise
- Determining individual team roles and assigning specific tasks to skill levels
Technological Approach
The initial striking feature lies in the inherent quality of the code, capturing immediate attention. Our unwavering focus revolves around comprehensive code coverage through meticulous testing practices. Furthermore, we place great emphasis on code review, ensuring that no code escapes the knowledge and scrutiny of our team. As a company, we are resolute in our stance against engaging in projects where Quality Assurance is neglected or entrusted to the client. Historical evidence has demonstrated that such practices result in heightened issues, prolonged project timelines, and increased costs for the client. Consequently, we consistently endeavor to implement our robust QA procedures and standards, ensuring the utmost product quality and customer satisfaction.
Our distinction is further underscored by our extensive expertise garnered across diverse industries, honed meticulously over the years. However, this does not imply that we rely solely on our internal knowledge. We actively seek to augment our expertise by drawing insights from external sources. This approach enables us to account for intricate edge cases and mitigate development errors, particularly when confronted with unique challenges specific to a particular industry. It serves as our distinctive competitive advantage, positioning us prominently within the market.
Furthermore, we diligently ensure that our projects adhere to predefined timelines. Although unforeseen circumstances may occasionally arise, leading to potential delays, we prioritize transparent communication with our clients. We strive to proactively inform them about any such circumstances well in advance, fostering a collaborative and informed decision-making process.
Presence of the technical team during consultations with the client
The extent of team participation in project discussions is contingent upon the specific requirements articulated by the client. Certain assignments necessitate the presence of a dedicated Project Manager, as per the client's expectations. We have encountered projects where clients specifically requested periodic communication with the team leader to seek guidance on supplementary technical aspects. Additionally, in our history, we have encountered scenarios where clients directly engaged with the developer responsible for specific functionalities to exchange their insights.
Quality standards applied to our projects
At Railwaymen, we maintain a receptive approach towards client suggestions and the industry-specific regulations that govern their operations. This commitment is exemplified by our attainment of the HIPAA certification for a project in the medical sector. Such certification is imperative for projects that involve the storage of sensitive medical data within the United States.
Moreover, there exist standards that are mandated by clients, typically encompassing aspects like database encryption, implementation of additional security systems, and the utilization of supplementary VPNs. An illustrative collaboration can be observed in our project executed for a Norwegian law firm, where we meticulously adhered to the client's specified requirements for data encryption.
In terms of our internal standards, we have actively pursued ISO certification, which we have successfully obtained. Furthermore, we have dedicated significant efforts to fortifying our internal security measures through the implementation of VPNs. These measures are meticulously designed to heighten the security of the data stored within our company. Our experience extends to operating in compliance with legal regulations worldwide. For instance, our solutions are subject to FinTech financial regulations such as PSD2, CFPB, and CDR, demonstrating our capability to navigate and adhere to diverse regulatory frameworks.
