Why Java?

Accelerated time-to-market

Java has a broad ecosystem using a wide range of APIs, libraries, and frameworks. This allows for quick implementation of requested functionality into the solution, resulting in expedited delivery to market.

Distributed processing

Solutions developed in Java can easily link multiple hardware units into a cluster under a single network. United, they share data and coordinate computing power. Big Data analytics, Intranets, the Internet, and other complex systems benefit from this feature.

Platform independence

Java Runtime Environment (JRE) allows Java solutions to run on any platform. It gives a favorable advantage when developing large and powerful interconnected software products.

Cost-effectiveness

The project’s overall cost is significantly reduced since there is no need to develop separate applications for each platform, thanks to JRE.

Opt for the best suited cooperation model

Leveraging our experience in providing Java development services, we have a few major models of cooperation: staff augmentation (team extension or dedicated development team), and software outsourcing (end-to-end development). If you have another way of working together in mind, we’re always open to discussion.

How we develop in Java

As a Java development company with 15+ years of experience in the field, we know how to deliver a state-of-the-art solution promptly.

01

Discovery

This step implies analyzing the idea, goals, requirements, and everything related to the case. Our business analysts assist in setting clear objectives and accurately estimating the resources needed.

02

Project definition

During this step, we develop the project specification – a detailed document covering the scale and the scope of work. We also present our plan for developing and implementing our Java solutions.

03

Team assembly

Based on the project specification, we assemble a team of Java engineers whose technological stack and experience level fit its requirements.

04

Project development

Following the project outline, our team starts developing the software. We keep the client posted on the results of sprints and iterations. To deliver the best quality Java development services, we also ask for feedback on the development process and project deliverables.

05

Quality assurance and testing

Our QA engineers use the best practices to ensure our software is secure and bug-free. We aim at creating the solution without any faults or vulnerabilities.

06

Product launch and support

We assist in deploying the solution and enable further support. We also facilitate adjustments to the product, like scaling it up or adding new features.

We make sure each line of our Java code is impeccable

COWIN maintains world-class Java development services. Our software engineers stick to the highest standards of code writing, evaluating, and reviewing.

Code rules and guidelines

  • We follow the Java style guide.

  • The variables we use in the process of development always have descriptive names.

  • Our engineers leave comments making clear the purpose of particular code functions.

  • The final README doc has all the code functions and dependencies.

  • Our code is split into short and focused units.

  • We perform unit tests throughout the entire development process.

  • We keep our code portable.

  • We use the best state-of-the-art practices of version control

Our code review practices

  • Independent reviewers conduct ad hoc reviews.

  • We practice pass-around code reviews.

  • To ensure our code is immaculate, we perform software walkthroughs.

  • Code iterations are checked via pull requests before being merged with the main code branch to exclude the possibility of errors.

  • We perform code inspections during the development process.

Code quality metrics

  • We measure our code’s ease of support and alternation with the maintainability index (MI).

  • We check the complication of code by measuring its cyclomatic complexity.

  • We measure the depth of inheritance — the number of different classes inheriting fields and methods from one another.

  • We measure the number of dependencies one class has on other classes with class coupling.

  • We also measure the number of lines of code to evaluate its maintainability.

  • We use Halstead complexity measures to evaluate the intricacy and maintainability of the code.

Java development cost

COWIN has been upholding the quality standards for Java development services for more than 15 years. Our software engineers have built software solutions of diverse scopes and budgets.

The final cost of each project consists of a range of factors, such as:

Collaboration model

FTE/RFP

Team size

Complexity of the project

Team skill level

Duration of the project

We analyze each client’s demands and capabilities, make sure that our high-quality solutions accommodate their budget, and calculate the project’s cost for each client individually. As a Java development company, COWIN can bring you the necessary number of professionals who will consider the best schedule for your project, define the needed resources (including budget) and establish clear goals and outcomes. We start working on the project after we approve all the variables.
