“Efficiency is not one size fits all.”

Efficiency in software development refers to the relationship between the development process and resources like time, personnel, equipment and effort. We aim to avoid any form of waste of these resources, our goal is to produce the best product according to the requirements with the minimum amount of resources necessary for the best version of said product. Our approach to efficiency is to avoid unnecessary defects, waits, overproduction, extra-revisions etc. Therefore reaching a shorter time to market and cutting back on costs without bargaining away from the quality of the product.

Efficiency is not one size fits all. Different teams and even products have different conditions under which they will perform more efficiently. Over at NextDeveloper we are finely tuned with the strongest and weakest characteristics of each other. Over the years we have built a model that suits each member as well as possible and results in the most efficient outcome.

Our natural response to meet quality requirements with low cost/time/energy is to keep our software as simple and elegant as possible, as well as documented and API/Service/Events focused. The unique modularity approach is a great example of how we keep our work clean and professional. Modules are loosely coupled, functional units that can be linked together to form a larger application. Different modules have different functions but communicate well with each other, which makes the development process so much easier to organize, manage and carry out.

Modification has many advantages, and those advantages are not limited to the early creation steps of the process. Testing, maintaining, debugging and reusing becomes so much more comfortable. We can also add more modules to an existing application at any point without disturbing other modules, since they operate independently. This also makes the detection of errors much easier and faster.

We are passionate about our job, and discovering more efficient, better ways to operate will always be an important part of our discipline. That said, we are very satisfied with the formula we have gotten so comfortable with.

The main software effiency attributes we strive to deliver are;

• Simplified Architecture

• API focused development for integration (Application Interoperability)

• Cost Effective Development

• Modular Based Development (Reusability)

• Using well known & mature frameworks

• Code Abstraction & Database Abstraction
