Our Process

Castle Rock Innovations utilizes a refined and sophisticated development methodology that strikes the right balance between effective project management and cost-effective software development for each project. 

We focus on carefully defining technical requirements that match our clients' expectations before development begins. We use a set of best practices refined through hundreds of successful projects for application development with rigorous testing procedures to produce highly reliable, stable code for scalable, extensible systems. All Castle Rock Innovations' software is well documented and annotated to facilitate future enhancements and maintenance. 

Solid architecture is the key to the success, stability and scalability of any software project. Our approach is to establish common architecture across system components for a cohesive, unified system. When developing individual components, we apply those concepts at the right level of detail given the complexity of each component. Clear responsibilities are assigned to each developer. A comprehensive testing plan is established at the outset and testing is ongoing during development. Component-level and system-level integration testing are done as components are completed. On larger projects, we automate many testing procedures. 

Castle Rock Innovations' clients can expect highly rated system performance and reliability. Other software developers will find solid architecture and thorough documentation that enable changes to source code without unintended consequences. Deployment of subsequent software versions reuse architecture components and deployment techniques that greatly simplify the work and reduce the total cost of ownership. These benefits are purposefully and thoughtfully architected and coded. 

• Our advanced and flexible development environment has been specially designed for project continuity with rapid launch and efficient re-start of client work.
• We use a suite of advanced collaboration tools for code repository, version and rollback control, code library management, project collaboration, change requests and status tracking.
• Clients can remotely access our development servers to review work in progress, provide feedback and perform system testing.
• Client project managers are welcome to visit Castle Rock throughout the duration of their project. We have wireless Internet access and guest work stations in our development center.
