A Software Developer is a person who analyzes the problem and gathers the information about a particular program. Based on the analysis, the programmer makes error free software that meets all the requirement of the company. The developer is also responsible for developing software within the fixed period in any offshore software development services. He should do proper documentation of the program so that it will be easier for a newcomer to easily understand the code and modify it according to required needs.

Software developers create things that matter to individuals, team, organizations, countries, and civilization. Software developers have the honor of delivering the stuff of pure intellectual effort that can heal, serve, entertain, connect, and liberate, freeing the human spirit to pursue those activities that are purely and uniquely human. Developers manage their time differently. Some developers prefer to work alone for hours while others like to discuss with one or two teammates throughout the day. Some work best in the morning and others in the evening. Programmers are rarely very productive when working for eight consecutive hours. Occasional rest breaks in between the working hours help to achieve the focus.

Software developers’ job is tough because individuals and organizations depend on the objects software developers create; they have an obligation to deliver software of quality in a manner that applies scarce human and computing resources intentionally and wisely. As professionals, software developers also have a moral responsibility. Software development is a human activity, not only because it emanates from the human intellect, but also requires the cooperative activity of others to make it real. As professionals, software developers constantly seek better ways to deliver quality software that matters, simply because their tasks are too complex to squander their time and energy. This is why software developers look at successful projects, analyze why they were successful, and similarly look at failed projects so that software developers may learn from their mistakes. Software developers have a relatively limited toolbox. They are expected to be able to use the development environment including compiler and debugger for the language(s) they have chosen as well as a handful of the common tools that every member of a development team is expected to know how to use. These tools are typically integrated into one platform that functions as both a compiler and debugger. This is typically the same tool that was used to learn the language so learning a development environment is not typically a big challenge. In some organizations, a basic familiarity with the automated testing tools is also required. This includes unit level testing tools designed to test basic code assumptions as well as tools designed to perform system level tests. Generally, others primarily operate testing tools; however, developers may need to activate scripts written by others to verify that their changes have not adversely affected the build.

Q3 Technologies confirms its participation at CeBIT 2010, to be held in Hannover, Germany from 2^nd – 6^th March 2010.

Germany is a significant market for Q3 technologies as this will be Q3’s fourth year in a row at CeBIT. Q3 is committed to providing the German market with superior Software products and services.

Ramana Rao, VP of Engineering Q3 Technologies shared his opinion on Scrum and Agile development methods used by Indian software companies. “I think Scrum and Agile development methods have started making their mark in India. As a matter of fact, many companies have started moving away from the traditional Waterfall model. The change is imminent as customers start getting unequivocal in their demand of “quickly watch things working”. Companies will be successful as long as they are able to manage shorter learning curves, impose strict quality guidelines within constantly dwindling development iteration’s and at the same time reduce rework.”

Ramana also talked about the new Project Management approaches in India that have gained popularity in recent times. He mentioned “CMMi benchmarks stipulated by Software Engineering Institute (SEI) will continue to provide a significant and solid process and management foundation and will help companies to improvise on their project planning, execution, monitoring and delivery mechanisms.  In the context, it is pertinent to note that, of recent, best practices stated by PMI (Project Management Institute) are gaining a lot of popularity in the Indian IT Industry circles. The good thing is that both of the above approaches share a lot in common and  chances of conflict are none or minimal.”

Q3 Technologies will also be exhibiting at the IndiaSoft Meet to be held on 10 – 12 March 2010, at Jaipur, India. This meet will be visited by IT buyers from Latin America, Africa, CIS, Asean, North America, Europe, Japan, Middle East region.
