We provide validation and certification mechanisms for software developed by Delonia or third parties. Success in a project translates into optimization of the investment made by the client.

The application of the knowledge and technical experience of the Delonia team in Software Engineering projects is an added value both in Development and Reengineering actions, Analysis and Design, Migrations or Systems Integration. The quality of software development processes is a strategic element not only for large organizations but also for SMEs due to the strong impact it will have on the competitiveness of their business.

In order for the software to be safe, optimal and meet customer requirementsit is necessary to have procedures and tools to assess and determine the quality and improvement of the software process. This is why we rely on modelling strategies, methods, guidelines and quality norms and standards that support the development and/or use of the solutions we implement.

Requirements management

The analysis of requirements for the implementation of a system is a priority and must be properly managed within all projects. For this, in Delonia we make sure of:

  • Document project requirements.
  • Define validation mechanisms.

Maximize project visibility through continuous delivery:

  • Presentations
  • Video-simulations
  • Models
  • Prototypes
  • Alpha, Beta, RC document management

Allow requirements to change throughout the life of the project. Minimize impact on time and cost.

Correct management of defects and change requests.

The ultimate goal is to obtain the product the customer wants with maximum efficiency in terms of time and cost.

The following phases are established for the execution of the Functional Testing process:

  • Development of the functional test plan
  • Execution of the test plan
  • Incident management / recommendations
  • Continuous improvement (on average 2 / 3 deliveries per job). Iterative development (constant improvement) in projects.
