All great products should be built on a solid foundation of research and development. By conducting intensive research early in the process, you’ll avoid the risk of inefficiencies and costly reworks. At Busco Engineering, our team of engineers has the expertise needed to provide effective research and highly skilled development.
Here are two of the methods we use to ensure that our customers’ products are of the highest quality:
Software/hardware optimization
For many companies that don’t have a need for a brand-new system or application, optimizing their legacy software can be an ideal solution. Our procedural process includes the following steps:
1. Analysis: A technical expert will use surface-level tools and sound judgment to evaluate the existing software and architecture. This analysis will be used to create a comprehensive development plan.
2. Goals: After a plan is established, we’ll help define some achievable milestones. A typical performance metric might be the total execution time or speedup. It’s also important to come to an agreement on a verification technique because the optimization process often requires a compromise on performance. We’ll then reach a final confirmation to determine whether the output is within the range of tolerances.
3. Optimization and testing: The final stage is to benchmark the codebase for a standard measurement before proceeding with optimizing and testing the product. Once we finalize the codebase, we’ll document any known limitations in the operations, package it, and prepare for delivery.
Simulation development
Many technical organizations are challenged with predicting the costs, time, and trade-offs that are needed for future projects. While a team’s expertise and intuition are often used to help guide decision making, a better approach is to use data-driven processes that can predict more accurate outcomes. Our method of simulation development uses client collaboration to build general models so we can obtain more substantial insight. We’ll establish a process using a simulated device or software, which can then be used as a specification for future projects.
