We understand the importance of taking a customer-centric view of software development. Our projects start with a consultancy-based methodology that allows us to act as an extension of your organization.

Businesses make significant investments in technology solutions. Ensuring that your investment continues in the future can be a challenge. Software re-engineering is a process that takes your current investment in 'legacy software' and migrates it to utilize newer technologies. By effectively using newer technologies, your software investment may be capable of reducing support costs, leveraging new markets or introducing new features.

The Shelby Group can help preserve your business investment. Our consultants know how to help evaluate your existing applications, propose alternative solutions and help implement new technologies. We understand that there are technology options and that matching those options to your technology portfolio is a critical step. A new application that your existing support organization cannot support is not a step forward.

Our software testing personnel are familiar with Verification and Validation (V&V) of software in several regulated industries. Ensuring that boundary conditions are fully tested and that abnormal conditions and events are discovered is critical. Ideally, these processes are done during the development, but our experts can help you with critical software testing at any stage of your software development lifecycle.

Our software quality analysts use cutting-edge software to assist in the testing process. Documentation of each identified problem is critical to assisting the development staff in problem resolutions. Our quality analyst are experts in planning and requirements analysis which helps the team design out problems during the architecture of the solution. Regression testing is a critical step to ensure that unintended side effects are not introduced into future software releases. Our team help manage this process to ensure that regression testing is a well-managed process.
