Software Engineering

For 25 years, Altron has been providing award-winning software engineering for mission-critical systems. Government customers have included the Departments of Defense, State, and Justice. We are Agile developers using CMMI Level III best practices to achieve Return on Investment (ROI) throughout the entire Software Development Life-Cycle. Key tenets of oursoftware engineering approach include:

  • The Altron Approach is based upon an Agile System Engineering Approach
    • Upfront “Envision” Planning Process
      • Establish common project vision
      • Interface Mockups
    • Iterative Requirements Definition and Development
      • Small, Quick, Manageable Releases
      • Continuous Evolution and Refinement of Requirements
    • Effective Project Management
      • Value-Added Key Metrics throughout the project life-cycle
      • Constant Visibility/Communication
      • Continuous Improvement
  • The Development Process
    • Produce a steady flow of production-ready functionality
      • Measure progress by working code
    • Deliver in short releases (every 2-3 months)
    • Develop in short iterations (every 1-3 weeks)
    • Communicate constantly with the client
    • Engineer code and environment to flatten the cost of change curve
  • Abstract and Reuse in All Software
    • No Duplicated Code
    • Use Interfaces
    • Componentize
    • Create Clear Dependences
  • Plan for Testing and Monitoring At All Steps in the Process

Areas of Expertise

  • Submarine Systems

Automated Testing, Integration and Monitoring

Altron specializes in Automated Testing, Integration, and Monitoring of complex systems. Our automation tools provide the means to cost effectively provide comprehensive solutions. Continuous testing and monitoring of systems is crucial to longer term success. Valuable systems are constantly evolving and thus require continuous testing and, monitoring. Altron has the tools and experience to perform this function.

Sample Projects

  • As part of Team Submarine, Altron is currently integrating together a large set of new technologies. These include virtualization as a cost savings architecture change, Cloud Computing services to support flexible data access, Video Over IP for real-time UAV missions, and a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) to improve interface development and subsystem independence.
  • Altron has done preliminary integration of UnifyRT product into the Navy SQQ-89 program to proactively gather data and monitor the vast set of systems that make up this program.
  • Senior Altron personnel worked with the US DOT and a collection of Auto OEMs (e.g. GM, Ford, VW, Nissan) to develop test procedures for the Connected Vehicle Security Credential Management System. When fully deployed the system is designed to provide cyber-security for hundreds of millions of vehicles operating on the nation’s highways.
