Client

Based in Argentina, the client is respected internationally for its 30-year history of developing state-of-the-art technology in different industrial, scientific and applied research fields including nuclear, aerospace, government and defense and medical equipment. Among many other accolades, it was the first company in Latin America certified by NASA to supply space technologies and construct systems including satellites, payloads and ground stations. 

Scope

The Argentine aerospace industry was speeding up and our client had won numerous public bids. As a result, they needed to increase their teams quickly and reliably across several innovative projects: SAC-D (a satellite currently in orbit), ARSAT1 and SAOCOM (new microwave satellites), primary and secondary radars, meteorological equipment and UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). Vates was selected for its wide testing experience and quality certifications including CMMI and ISO - these software projects in particular required compliance with the highest standards.

Results

Beginning with a small team, Vates performed standalone testing cycles and analyzed their results and performance. Then working in close collaboration with the client, Vates’ team scaled quickly and dynamically to meet the projects’ demands, including wide-ranging audits of software development, testing and operations engineering. Over the course of the project, the team performed integration testing between modules using simulator feedback to handle every possible scenario. The project resulted in successfully delivery of automated testing scripts, updates to satellite operator manuals, continuous support for process improvement, and completion of every one of the client’s commitments on time.

Summary

Two software development engineers were selected from Vates to augment the client’s internal team to develop the proof of concept for an integrated Facebook application using Graph API SDK to allow users to protect uploaded photos into different social networks. After validating the concept, Vates partnered with the client to develop the project architecture, and scaled quickly with two scrum teams of six application developers and testers, to meet software development demand. The final deliverable was required to support several different platforms; Web, Desktop, iOS, and Android, using a coder/decoder browser plugin that forbids download, copy or any unwanted sharing. Metrics regarding user usability were provided in order to bring the client required data for decision making. Vates’ Quality Scorecard measured the effectiveness of each sprint throughout the project. During final testing, Vates’ Software Hive recommended to conduct platform stress testing for future user scale.
