The way we approach projects at Bendyworks can be summed up in a single word: flexibility. From the contact we have with you down to the methods we use to code, our entire process revolves around staying nimble and adaptable to your needs. So how exactly do we go about doing that? Well…
Agile course correction requires constant feedback, and we keep our lines of communication clear and free for our clients. Bendyworks believes in daily, efficient contact in a way that works for you. With regular feedback your software will take shape around your changing needs and priorities without the rigid demands of traditional software development.
Software projects rarely end up exactly where you planned at the beginning. Because we charge by time and materials, you can change the scope of your project in a natural way as it evolves. Need new features? Need to stop a project and start it up again later? Bendyworks is flexible enough to adjust to your needs on the fly, without having to rework a contract.
Our programmers come dual-core. We adhere to the agile principle of pair programming to improve the accuracy, elegance, and development time of the software we write for you. With constant code review, superior project navigation, and instant bug detection, there really is no better way to develop software. Pair programming takes experience, trust, creativity, and talent—qualities each coder at Bendyworks brings to the table.
By taking the traditional development path and turning it on its head, Test Driven Development and Behavior Driven Development both dramatically speed up the development time and improve the accuracy of a project.
BDD puts the purpose of code in natural, plain language—so you never lose focus of what should come next and why. TDD focuses on what each part of a program should do, determining what it would look like for code to be successful and then developing it from there. Put them together, and it's just feature delivery after feature delivery.
At Bendyworks we believe you should use a hammer when you need a hammer, and a wrench when you need a wrench. From Ruby on Rails to Cocoa Touch, from WebSockets to Bcrypt, we're equipped and skilled with the most effective application development tools the digital world has to offer. We won't ever use the wrong solution to the problem just because "we know this particular technology."
This also means that if Bendyworks would be overkill for your project, we'll point you in the correct direction. Some projects can be solved relatively simply, and we won't ever waste your resources when we already know the perfect tool or team exists elsewhere.
