Expert Java Development Services

The Java software development process at Netguru is based on the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) model. We focus on 5 phases which are implemented at various stages of work with the software - from the analysis of the scope of the entire project to work in agile sprints on specific tasks / features.

• Requirements - The goal of this phase is to gather requirements for the project or some part of the project (MVP, features, epic, etc.) to assess what resources are needed to plan work in terms of choosing the optimal solution and starting development.
• Design (software) - The main purpose of this phase is to choose the right tools and approach for the project based on the requirements gathered in the previous stage. Selected aspects of the design phase include: 

  • choosing the right Java-based technology stack

  • defining key components of the systems from an architecture/infra perspective

  • preparing necessary diagrams, and documentation to make it clear to other stakeholders

  • to determine the necessary talent and skill set

  • threat modeling of key project risks

• Development - Implementation is a key element of java software development. In this phase, the project team converts the previously defined requirements into functional code whose goal is to provide business value based on requirements and defined architecture. It is worth noting that the key goal of the development phase is to provide business value through functional software and also consulting.
  

• Testing - It is not only about Quality Assurance. This phase describes all actions, processes, and artifacts related to the testing of our products including the work of QAs, Developers, DevOps engineers, Security Engineers, automatic tools, and other forms of testing. Netguru put great importance on the quality of manufactured products, which is why our SDLC has a number of elements centered around testing. They are implemented at individual stages of work and are by various stakeholders depending on the area and/or project specification.
  
• Deployment / Maintenance - The final stage of the development cycle is Release / Deployment. In this phase, the new code goes to the target environment - test or production. In this phase, generating new features or any other types of software development is on hold. The project is up and stable. The team monitors system metrics. The purpose of this monitoring is to determine its current utilization of compliance and verify if the system is compliant with the agreed SLO.

These areas allow us to provide a better overview of the development process and build products with the highest quality because it contains requirements and recommendations in several categories: Business Domains, Data Model, Performance, Security, Documentation, System infrastructure, Application Architecture, Quality, and Monitoring.

Java developers typically use IDEs like NetBeans, Eclipse, or IntelliJ IDEA to create robust applications. These development tools provide integrated environments with features like code highlighting, debugging, and code generation.

Custom Java software development services are ideal for industries such as finance, healthcare, and manufacturing, providing tailored solutions to best meet their unique business needs. These services can help businesses streamline their processes, reduce costs, and increase efficiency. They can also help them stay ahead of the competition by providing innovative solutions that are tailored to their specific needs. 

Following Java development best practices is paramount for the success of software development projects. Our team follows these best practices, such as code optimization, design patterns, and continuous integration and testing, to ensure that your applications are of the highest quality and meet your unique business needs.

Code Optimization

Code optimization is pivotal in Java development, as it enhances the performance and maintainability of applications. Our developers employ a variety of techniques for code optimization, such as:

• Refactoring the code for improved readability and maintainability

• Optimizing loops and conditionals

• Minimizing the use of global variables

• Utilizing efficient algorithms and data structures

By following these best practices for code optimization, our developers can create applications that:

• Perform exceptionally well

• Are easy to maintain and modify as needed

• Run smoothly and efficiently

• Meet your business needs

The end result is a Java application that meets all these criteria.

Design Patterns

Design patterns are an essential aspect of Java development, as they provide reusable solutions to common software design problems. Our developers employ design patterns to create modular, efficient, and maintainable code, ensuring that your applications are both powerful and easy to manage.

Examples of popular design patterns include:

• Singleton pattern

• Factory pattern

• Observer pattern

• Builder pattern

• Strategy pattern

By utilizing these design patterns, our developers can create applications that are flexible, adaptable, and maintainable, ensuring that your Java project is built to last.

Continuous Integration and Testing

Continuous integration and testing are critical components of Java development, as they ensure that your applications are high-quality and bug-free. Our developers utilize the following testing tools to validate that modifications to the code do not disrupt existing functionality:

• Cucumber

• JUnit

• Selenium

• JMeter

By employing continuous integration and testing practices, our developers can catch and address issues early in the development process, ensuring that your applications are reliable, secure, and perform as expected. With our commitment to continuous integration and testing, you can have confidence in the quality and performance of your Java applications.

Staying ahead in the rapidly evolving world of software development is crucial. Java development trends and innovations, such as emerging Java frameworks, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence, are shaping the future of Java development and opening up new possibilities for your business.

Emerging Java Frameworks

Emerging Java frameworks like Micronaut and Quarkus are revolutionizing the Java development landscape, offering improved performance and developer productivity. These frameworks are built with modern, cloud-native applications in mind, providing messaging integration and expedited testing for streamlined development and deployment.

As the Java ecosystem continues to evolve, staying informed about these emerging frameworks can help you harness their full potential in your projects. By adopting these cutting-edge frameworks, you can ensure that your Java applications are built using the latest technologies and best practices, setting your business up for success.

Cloud Computing

The connection between Java and cloud computing is more important than ever, as businesses increasingly rely on cloud platforms for their software needs. Java, with its scalability, performance, and cross-platform compatibility, is a prime choice for developing containerized applications for contemporary cloud platforms.

By leveraging Java and cloud computing, you can create scalable, flexible, and efficient applications that are easily deployed and managed across multiple platforms. This enables your business to take full advantage of the benefits of cloud computing, such as reduced infrastructure costs, increased flexibility, and improved collaboration.

Artificial Intelligence

Java and artificial intelligence technologies are increasingly being used together to develop intelligent, data-driven applications. Java’s platform independence, robustness, and large community and libraries make it an ideal choice for integrating artificial intelligence capabilities into your applications.

By harnessing the power of Java and artificial intelligence, you can create powerful, data-driven applications that can analyze patterns, make predictions, and provide valuable insights for your business. This combination of Java and AI technologies opens up new possibilities for innovation and growth, helping your business stay ahead of the competition.
