Our Process

We use the best practices in the industry

Scrum

West Arete has used the highly collaborative, highly effective Scrum process for nearly a decade and has two certified Scrum Masters on staff. This project management structure is rigorous with regard to time and budget, and responsive with regard to scope and design.

Test-Driven Development

This is a rigorous programming practice that dictates that the developer must write an automated test for the code, even before the code itself is written. This standard helps to ensure that all code is working as the developer intended and is maintainable in the long run.

Continuous Integration

All code written at West Arete goes through a rigorous continuous integration process in order to catch defects and ensure that the application is always ready to deploy. Each code change is automatically run through its suite of automated tests on a separate build machine.

Let’s Connect

The first step is often a zero-pressure phone call to answer questions and explore whether we both feel that there could be a fit.
