VeriQual is a highly capable Engineering company, able to deliver sophisticated Software Engineering solutions for a variety of applications. The bedrock for all our projects is the Process we have developed and constantly improved since 2004.

Discovery

We use the Agile Development methodology with a focus on clear communication and managing realistic expectations. In the true Agile way, we put people first backed up with tried and tested processes. Our Sprint planning meetings are the kick-off point for Requirement discovery and User Story elaboration.

Expertise

There is no substitute for technical expertise and we focus on hiring the best. With multiple offices located in Karachi, Lahore, Dubai and UK, we have access to the best developers from several locations.

Team Structure

We believe in having “just enough” hierarchy to manage quality and delivery, but not so much that it gets in the way of communication, autonomy and creativity.

Every project has an Engineering Director, Scrum Master and one or more Mentors assigned for each technology used. A well defined process ensures that each of these roles provides the oversight needed to allow our Senior Developers to deliver your project while adhering to the Quality metrics we have defined. We don’t just want the product to work, we want it to look “beautiful” under the hood too!

Process

The benefits of a mature development process to you are better communication, verified requirements which lead to higher product satisfaction, and managed expectations which result in delivery on a defined timeline.

We have defined guidelines for our Engineering teams, including repository use, production, testing and staging environments and maintenance of backlogs. The standardisation of the workflow makes it easier for our Engineering Directors to check and maintain quality across the organisation.

All work takes place within sprints, which can be from 2 to 4 weeks long, depending on the project. Daily Scrum meetings ensure we are developing what you need. Retrospective meetings allow us to fine tune the process and improve the delivery in each sprint. A demo at the end of each Sprint allows you to “see” what is being built so you know the product is what you want it to be. Any changes after the demo can be accommodated easily in the next sprint.

Metrics

Quality matters to us, because we want the code to be maintainable and well engineered so it is fast and stable. We measure things like Cyclomatic complexity, Test coverage percentage, Estimation accuracy and various other metrics to measure how well the development team is doing. To learn more about the metrics we use and how it fits into our Workflow, please contact us for the Metrics White Paper.

What you get

You get speed, faster time to market, least cost and a highly usable product as you have been able to tailor it as it is built. We always focus on simplicity both in the development process and the product. A product that needs no explanation and is simply intuitive means your product is that much more likely to succeed.
