Software development in Idea Factory is an engineering process, where methodology already tested in successful developments, is applied so as to generate the best possible result in any situation.

We have chosen the Unified Process of Software Development as the basis for our development methodology. Contained in this methodology are the experiences accumulated over the past 30 years in the use of varying methdologies. Our development methodology also contains the concept of Product Line (the reuse of software components) that adds another link in the value chain in software development i.e the decrease in development time.

The key characteristics of our methodology are risk minimization and the early detection of any risks through architecture testing, reiterative work practices and closing functional aspects in a progressive manner. Also critical is establishing a strong relationship with all those involved in the business. We apply our methodology with flexibility, adapting such to each project.

We have adopted practices which we consider effective, including "pair programming", "unit testing", and "client integration into the development team". We have defined standards for programming style in all the languages we use. We have adopted practices from different methodolgies that we believe to be sufficient to guarantee the quality of our software, since the quality of the final product depends as much on the formulation of a simple line of code as on the most complex of processes.
