Architectural and technology decisions have a big impact on project timelines.
AgileHead's experienced system architects can work with your team to ensure that your product is built on strong foundations.
When we work with teams in early-stage product development, code conciseness is our top priority. A lean and mean codebase is the foundation for a maintainable, high quality application.
If you are using a statically typed language, you might as well make the compiler work really hard. You will notice that you suddenly eliminate a surprisingly large number of bugs.
Applications that need to scale to thousands of users should be architected differently to benefit from scale out configurations or cloud deployment.
The biggest performance killers are shared state, suboptimal Data Models and Queries, unoptimized content, and lack of caching strategies.
AgileHead can help your team incorporate performance and scalability into the design of new projects, or analyze existing applications for bottlenecks and steps to remedy them.
In a web application, there are many trivial optimizations that could dramatically improve responsiveness. For instance, serving media from multiple domains can improve load times for pages with lots of images.
Almost in all high traffic websites, caching plays the central role in application performance.
Inspecting web applications and services for vulnerabilities:
While limited analysis can be done without access to the source code, AgileHead recommends making the source available.
Security in Web Applications have become a large, complex discipline in itself. It is increasingly difficult for a typical development team to keep track of all security issues and vulnerabilties.
We do code analysis, not blackbox testing. We look at source code to see if best practices have been consistently followed.
Many business applications have poor User Experience (UX), which is unacceptable with today's consumers.
UX consultants advise teams on building applications with a focus on Ease-of-Interaction, Learnability, Efficiency, Accessibility and Satisfaction.
Ultimately, an application will be judged by its usability and appeal, rather than technological marvels under the hood.
Web 2.0 was as much about usability, as it was about user generated content. It clearly placed the end-user as the focal point of application design.
