Software Development

ISS has a mature team consisting of three major functional groups of specialists involved in the development process: development, independent system testing specialists, and quality assurance/engineering.

Quality assurance/engineering provides all activities required for modern software development practices based on CMMI, including:

	Maintenance of ISS SW process documented in ISS Software Engineering Handbook
	Process tailoring, including elements of Agile programming
	Periodic gap analysis of the software development process
	Work of software engineering process group
	Metrics and audit programs
	Tracking of defects and changes via automated Defects Tracking Systems
	Continuous training programs

ISS also has a a separate group of R&D specialists who develop new effective algorithms and prototypes, which became inputs for commercial application and piloting in industrial projects. The following are two successful examples of instrumental tools developed in ISS in full-life cycle starting from scientific ideas through all life cycle phases:

	Original Compiler Building System (CBS) used in compiler development for known languages (completed projects for Verilog and C languages).
	Verification of Requirement Specificaiton (in MSC, SDL and UML languages) which supports Model Driven Engineering (MDE) technology (learn more about MDE) and significantly reduces software product design cycle time, cost, and provides more efficient and secure software by eliminating inconsistencies and incompleteness of design.

ISS engineers are experienced in implementation of different types of software projects, including but not limited to the following:

	Client/Server Applications
	GUI
	Compilers
	Java Applications
	Embedded and automotive network communications protocols support
	Porting Linux and uClinux systems on various Freescale EVBs
	Device drivers development
	Assembly language optimization of various GSM and VoIP audio codecs
	Implementing VoIP protocols
	Software modem implementation

Main development platforms are Windows, Linux, Sun Solaris, Linux implementations for specific embedded hardware. Languages: C/C++, Java, XLS/XSLT, assemblers for different types of embedded software.
