CASE (Computer Aided Software Engineering) Tools
|
As one of our best practices, we use CASE tools very extensively. CASE Tools basically aid in the way a software is analysed, designed and it ensures better quality of software in terms of scalability, usability, robustness. CASE tools help us to look at the business problem from different aspects and helps us identify the right solution for the problem posed.
The most popular CASE tool in the industry is Rational Suite and we take pride in saying that our Project managers, Projet Leads, Developers are all quite good at using it.

Constant & Variable Naming Conventions - recommended conventions for constants and variables.
Structure Coding Conventions - Code Commenting, content indenting & other standard coding structures.

Version Control

Version Control is one of the most underutilized practice in the field of Software Development but at Varkul we follow standard version control process using VSS. Extensive usage of VSS by all team members ensures that there are no configuration issues at the time of delivery and we always deliver the correct version of artifacts.

Documentation
|
Documentation is one of the key practice to ease the maintenance of the software and also a risk mitigation measure for high rate of iteration prevailing in the IT industry. We ensure that anything & everything done in the code is documented in the pre-defined templates. At the beginning of the Project, we share our documentation templates with the client to get their feedback and tailor the templates as per the project requirements.

Status Updates

We provide regular status updates to the client regarding the progress of the project, issues - if any. The frequency of status reporting is agreed upon with the client in the beginning of the project. Generally, we maintain a weekly status update to inform the client about the :
