Today's software projects require not only an expert level of knowledge in software achitectures, programming languages and interfaces but also a flexible approach to be able to react fast to changing requirements.

Wie utilize software development processes like Scrum, Kanban and V-Modell-XT.

Ticketsystem, Bugtracking and Documentation:

• Atlassian Jira, Bugzilla, Mantis Bug Tracker
• Atlassian Confluence, Trac

• Atlassian Stash (Git, SVN)
• Atlassian Bamboo, Jenkins

Requirements Engineering

• Software Requirements Specification (SRS) according to IEEE 830
• IBM Rational DOORS

The internet has long since found its way into a variety of devices. As an example, printers, IP-cameras, fridges and facility monitoring systems are controllable through web interfaces. We develop gateways and graphical user interfaces to access embedded systems from the internet. Furthermore we offer the realization of entire enterprise portals and interfaces to backend systems.

Technologies and frameworks:

• Content management systems: TYPO3 CMS, Drupal, Wordpress
• Frameworks: TYPO3 Flow, Zend, Smarty, Rails
• Programming languages: PHP5, Javascript (jQuery), Ruby, Flash Actionscript
• Descriptive languages: HTML(5), CSS(3), LESS, SCSS, XML
• 3D visualisation: WebGL, three.js
• Server: Linux server and applications/services

Area of application:

• Configuration and access of embedded systems
• Development of web-based interactive applications
• Interfaces for backend systems
• Enterprise portals

Depending on the requirements complexity and the platform we use different techniques, tools and programming languages to design software.

• Enterprise Architect
• UML 2.4

Model-based function development

• Matlab/Simulink
• ETAS Ascet
• Generator Tools

Programming languages

• C, C++, C#, Java
• Perl, Ruby, Javascript

Frameworks and libraries

• Boost, Qt
• .NET, WPF
