Methodology - Synthenet Corporation

Synthenet's development methodology is called "Toolbox". This methodology is a structured approach to web development that supports fast and cost-efficient development of sophisticated web-based applications.

Applications using traditional development methods largely reflect their creators' personalities and coding habits (whether good or bad). Because each developer has his or her own development style, it is often very difficult (or impossible) for another developer, even within the same company, to make changes or additions to the code. Since "Toolbox" is completely structured, work on the same project can be divided amongst development staff with the assurance that the application code will be consistent throughout.

All Synthenet applications are developed in the same manner, using the same methodolody. Once a piece of code is written in "Toolbox" for a specific use in an application, it can be used over and over in other applications. This code reuse saves a enormous amount of development time, allowing us to price our applications very competitively.

Other advantages to the "Toolbox" methodology are built-in debugging and error handling modes. When an application is under development, the debugging mode allows us to find the problems faster and fix them quickly and efficiently. Once the application goes "live", we are notified of all errors by e-mail the minute they occur.
