The immediate future of software development is directed by a few core values: automation, transparency, and democratization. Overall these trends are lowering the costs required to develop new projects and lowering the barrier to entry for non-technical team members to contribute to software development.
The following practices have been adopted by Gennetx to Understand how teams can use these practices to increase the speed of development can lead to a competitive advantage.
Feature flagging is a practice which enables ‘soft releases’ of new code. Before feature flagging, teams would push entire features out to all production users as part of a regular code release. Feature flagging reduces the risk for deployments by allowing safe validation of features in a production environment before exposing them live to all live customers. Once a feature flag rollout has been successfully, privately, validated it can be rapidly rolled out and change live customer experience.
Gennetx embraces a Microservices architecture (MSA) infrastructure. MSA is a distributed network architecture that enables horizontally scaling and network redundancy. A microservice implementation will break an application in to separate deployments that correspond to business needs. Some examples of these business needs are: payments, authentication, and analytics.
Continuous integration and Continuous development, are the premier examples of the value of automation. CI/CD puts in place guardrails that allow developers to push new code and features that then automatically deploy to production environments. Before CI/CD gained popularity merging code and deploying were a much more cumbersome process. Teams would have to collaborate and sequence when to merge features and think about avoiding conflicts in code updates between team members. Deployments were risky affairs where teams would manually copy files between servers and the network could fail or desync a deploy across a cluster. The guardrails that enable CI/CD are version control systems, automated tests, and monitoring tools.
Gennetx religiously follows Outcome driven development, ODD is a workflow process that encourages rapid, lightweight software development. ODD defines goals instead of tasks and assigns ownership of those goals to a team which will be responsible for meeting that goal and implementing. If you’ve ever experienced a team planning meeting where the general consensus was “why are we building this?” It might be time to try outcome-driven development.
Containerization is an emerging trend that automates hosting and deployment responsibilities in DevOps (the automation of developer support duties like infrastructure management). Before containerization gained adoption developers would have no guarantees that their application would behave the same on different machines. Moving applications around between cloud machines or hosting providers was a risky and tedious move. Teams can now package complete system-level dependency stacks into a portable container which can then be initialized on any other machine.
The rise of cloud hosted infrastructure has brought a new ease to deploying traditional server software stacks. This new hosting paradigm enables the direct upload and execution of individual code functions. A developer can write and upload a simple code function that takes input and returns output. The serverless platform will then expose this code function on a URL that can be accessed to utilize the function. This new process greatly simplifies the development-to-production release pipeline.

We design and build applications that optimize or elegantly transform your internal business processes by streamlining operations, improving their transparency, driving employees’ efficiency, enhancing interdepartmental collaboration and improving reporting and planning.
We help make and implement tech-related decisions that are crucial for future product success:
we consider UI/UX design to play a crucial role not only in overall usability but also in:
We achieve these benefits due to understanding user needs and application value from user perspective via the following approaches:
Gennetx puts great emphasis on software architecture because it defines reliability, maintainability, and performance of any application as well as provides for product evolution. We make sure to devise the architecture that fits your product requirements and enables the most convenient way of integration with other software products. Some of the architecture types we implement are:
Our comprehensive approach to quality assurance comprises not just testing activities but a whole range of practices that ensure orderliness and accuracy of all internal processes throughout development. These practices include:
Gennetx prioritizes faultless, high-performing software products from the project launch onward, we implement all types of software testing, maintaining a balanced mix of manual and automated methods. We perform:
Thanks to our QA efforts, we manage to achieve the following software quality goals:
Gennetx strikes a proper balance between rapidly evolving software and preserving its functional stability. We make change and growth an integral part of software development, ensuring quality on all stages of the software product development life cycle. With each new release, your software gains both necessary upgrades for the existing functionality and new features.
Driven by the belief that the premise for a successful project is well-coordinated joint work, we strive to build an individual, mutually convenient collaboration model with each customer. We build amiable, result-oriented collaboration, maintain open communication and create thought partnership with our clients.
Gennetx always provides a high level of transparency to easily keep track of the product development progress being made, Gennetx suggests to collaboratively define KPIs (key performance indicators) and SLOs at the project planning stage. Some of the possible KPIs are:
