Web Application Development

Wanting to automate a business process? Provide world-wide access to one of your applications? Or harness crowd-sourcing and social networking to boost your business? You need a web application from Agincourt.

We follow a strict development process which ensures the applications we develop do exactly what is needed and maximise acceptance and this is what separates us from traditional developers. The diagram below illustrates how actual coding (development) is only 1 part of the whole process:

1. Initial Requirements: We work with your stakeholders (people who will use the system and managers) to develop an initial requirements specification which often consists of user stories, use-case diagrams and story-boarding to ensure everyone is on the same page.
2. Testing: We take your application’s reliability seriously – so testing is a bolt-on at the end – we follow two solid paradigms: TDD (Test Driven Development) and BDD (Behavior Driven Development), with these in place, errors are vastly reduced.
3. Development: We develop web applications in Ruby On Rails, an open-source framework which is well-known for it’s rapid development speed, so we can have you up and running quicker than ever!
4. Deployment: Because we follow a cycle in our development, we’re able to deploy pre-releases for you to use and test, rather than having to wait until the end of the project.
5. Requirements: Factors in both the project and your business may change over time, by re-evaluating your requirements in each iteration, we can adapt to those changes and deliver a project which suits your current needs, not your past.
6. Review: We don’t just dump you once the development is complete, we check you’re happy with the solution and provide any training needed.
7. On-going Maintenance: As your business and customer-base grows and changes, your application will too, we monitor it’s servers and continue to upgrade the hardware, and functionality as required.
