Planning

• Planning service: Yes
• How the planning service works: At Stallions Solutions, we strive to work closely with our clients every step of the way during the development process. Whether using agile or waterfall methodologies, we can tailor our approach to fit the customer's needs. Our teams are small and highly skilled, and we build quality into the process from the beginning. This allows us to focus on delivering quality products in a shorter time frame. Our experienced Delivery Managers handle the planning, prioritizing, and quality/risk management, so that our delivery teams can stay focused on their tasks. We have access to experts in fields such as software development, UX design, user research, technical and security architecture, and business change who can provide the valuable insights and skills needed to succeed.

We also provide technical training through knowledge transfer during the implementation stage of the project. Our goal is to ensure that our clients have the tools and knowledge they need to be successful.; ; End-user training can be delivered in different ways, depending on the needs of your organisation. It can be provided in a 'train-the-trainer' model, in which key users will be responsible for delivering training throughout the organisation. Alternatively, we can provide tailored training materials and follow up sessions to ensure all users stay on track.; ; Our 'Training Designed For You' service is a custom set of training options that can be fully tailored to meet the specific needs of customers.

• How the setup or migration service works: Cloud-based delivery approaches offer a number of tangible benefits, such as faster time to market for changes and updates, reduced development costs, and reduced hosting costs. However, migrating to the Cloud can be challenging, and a range of associated challenges must be addressed, such as DevOps, Cloud Hosting and Distributed Security technologies. Our delivery teams have extensive experience delivering solutions in complex situations and are well-versed in the challenges involved and how to effectively resolve them. We can help our clients assess whether a Cloud-based architecture is right for them, select the most appropriate tools for the task, and implement and continuous integration and deployment culture to support the Cloud-based platform.

Quality assurance and performance testing

• Quality assurance and performance testing service: Yes
• How the quality assurance and performance testing works: At the core of our philosophy is the belief that quality should be built in from the beginning. These tools will help us increase the quality of our testing, as well as the speed at which it can be carried out. Our development teams use a number of tools in the development and support of cloud-based applications such as Mocha and Chai. We also use Sinon.js for unit testing, and CodeceptJS and WebDriver for acceptance testing.; ; Our teams are skilled at writing automated tests that break key components of the architecture in order to ensure that other components will continue to function properly. For example, we might stop a database node in the middle of a long-running transaction, or turn off a physical server during a long-running set of tests. We ensure resilience by force-closing server instances during an ongoing load test as part of the overall non-functional testing approach.
