Why Choose CakeDC

On-Demand Management

We've learned that transparency is key to successful collaborations, so all of our communication is out in the open, with evidence of our progress and results readily available.

Milestone-Driven Development

Our agile development cycles are based on milestones, which are designed to always be objective, focused and aim to provide a deliverable so you see your product in the making.

Full QA Process

We provide a QA process which is integrated directly into our development iterations, and that's based upon clear specifications and acceptance criteria which define our goals.

Unit Testing

All of our work is fully testable by default, meaning that everything we deliver is provided in-hand with unit tests to validate our efforts and guarantee it's functionality.

Live Deployment

During the development we offer a full continuous integration of your project to our private staging servers, which provides us essential insight into code quality, test coverage and impact areas.

Continuous Integration (CI) Environments

t

We provide 3 managed environments to support our git workflow and ensure development, quality assurance and acceptance testing activities are isolated and visible to the client at all times. Deployment is automated, providing insight about the unit test coverage, code quality metrics and build status. Full automation and milestone based iterations provide a stable and predictable release cycle, reducing the overall time to market for the project and helping the Project Owners to successfully deliver their features as expected.

Specifications

A thorough requirements analysis is the most important step in any project's timeline. We'll listen to your needs and outline your project's specifications before development begins. Because applications must often change over time, our experts will also help to "future-proof" your project, planning for extension and ensuring simple maintenance down the road.
