Our Java Projects
Frequently Asked Questions
What SDLC models do you work with?
For 98% of our development projects, we use Agile, and 80% of them are executed in Scrum or ScrumBut. With Agile (Scrum), we work in efficient 2-3-week sprints to develop the software iteratively. Overall, we have been practicing Agile since 2007.
We opt for the Waterfall model for those development projects where we can fully understand and agree on the exact functional and technical requirements before any coding starts.
In software support and evolution projects, we mostly follow Kanban.
Do you provide a 'build it, run it' model?
Yes, we offer dedicated Java teams that are ready to take full technical ownership of the project and be responsible for everything from planning and development to infrastructure setup and management.
Who owns the code?
The code is in your sole ownership.
Who manages the project?
We have a strong full-scale PMO with experience in complex large-scale projects and advanced tech skills. The majority of our projects are managed by our in-house project managers.
However, we can also provide you with a dedicated Java development team to be managed on your side or by both our and your PMs. We minimize management efforts on your side by providing high transparency of the development process and proactive risk management.
How can we keep track of the project progress?
We give you access to a secure project extranet so that everyone involved in the project has access to the latest documentation and the prototype, a product backlog (a discrete list of features with screenshots and testing criteria, bug fixes and infrastructure changes to be delivered), a sprint schedule (a plan of what features, fixes and changes will be delivered in what sprint), and more.
On a weekly basis, we hold status meetings. Also, a dedicated project manager is ready to promptly answer any questions.
What systems do you use to track the progress of your delivery?
Azure DevOps, Atlassian Jira, Microsoft Project, Excel, Confluence.
How much do you charge per developer?
Our developers' rates vary depending on factors such as their seniority, experience, certifications, and the technology stack. We offer competitive rates that reflect the expertise and quality of our talents; the average rate is $50-$90 per hour. For more specific prices, we encourage you to reach out to us directly or use our free cost calculator.

How We Usually Deliver Software at ScienceSoft
1
Planning
At this stage, our team gains a detailed understanding of the Customer's business, existing processes, challenges, ambitions, and the Customer's vision of the ideal solution. Then, we devise the solution, elaborate on the project plan, and agree on how we will measure the project's success.
But if the Customer already has a software requirements specification, we can study it and go straight to the next step.
2
Architecture, UX and UI design.
Our solution architects design high-performing, reliable and scalable architecture for future software.
Our UX researchers study the target audience, its needs, and behavior. Then, they create wireframes that demonstrate basic content layout and functionality.
Our UI designers create UI kits and full-color graphic interface mockups.
If you have it all ready, we skip this stage.
3
A PoC and a dynamic prototype (optional)
We can create a dynamic prototype of the future application so that stakeholders and users can clearly see how the software will look and function before it is delivered.
To test the idea, verify tech assumptions, and de-risk further investments, we can deliver a proof of concept — a simplified version of the future software or its part. Its essential aspects are hard-coded data, mocked APIs, and simplified UI.
4
DevOps implementation
We establish infrastructure as code (IaC), design and implement the containerization process, and set up CI/CD pipelines.
5
MVP development, testing, and deployment (optional)
To quickly find out how users accept software and adjust the project accordingly, we deliver an MVP — a functional application with a minimum set of features (just enough to convey the app idea to early users).
6
Full-scale software development, testing, and deployment
Back-end developers build the server side and APIs of the new software and integrate it with the back ends of other applications, if needed.
Front-end developers transform static interface images provided by UI designers into a fully functional client side and ensure its communication with the server.
The development team performs regular unit testing and code reviews (ad hoc reviews, pair programming, walkthrough, etc.).
In parallel with development, our QA engineers validate every aspect of the new software: functionality, integrations, performance, usability, and security. They use both automated and manual tests.
7
24/7 monitoring, support, and evolution (on demand)
After the software or its part reaches the production environment, we can continue maintaining, supporting, and evolving it according to the changing business needs.
