Services Business
Quality and a professional approach are among the most important values that Pioneer offers. We provide services related to web application development, the development of software for business process management, and the Java software platform.
IT Specialist outsourcing and Consulting
Consultants gather experience in many projects, which expands their horizons beyond what is usual in the IT sector. Furthermore, Pioneer employees often attend various training courses and conferences, so they also boast important communications skills.
Our consultants are often hired for implementing new technologies or work processes in companies. Our customers also put our developers in key roles on their teams, as they are experienced experts whose practical knowledge and experience far surpass the usual standard. They can adapt quickly to the customer’s environment, and their presence on a team significantly reduces the error rate and shortens the time of contract implementation.

Independent quality control
Quality testing and control are the weak points of most software projects. Sometimes a supplier even leaves it to the customer to find the errors. Take no risks and have independent quality control from the first day of a project.
Quality assurance should be independent. Certain developers have sufficiently independent testing departments, but can you rely on that when it comes to software worth hundreds of thousands or even millions? AspectWorks ensures independent quality control throughout the production cycle:
- We test project analysis and assignment, models, and prototypes
- We programme automatic tests (unit tests, automated GUI tests, stress tests)
- We conduct utility tests and A/B tests
Analysis and Assignment Tests
Quality software cannot be developed without quality analysis. An untested analysis full of errors and incomplete aspects is a frequent phenomenon, especially in larger projects. Errors and ambiguities in an analysis then result in delays in implementation. According to a report by The Standish Group, only 16% of projects are successful, 31% projects are cancelled before completion – and poor preparation plays a large role in this.
Analytical tests detect logical discrepancies in requirements and other analytical documents, draw attention to potential problems, and ensure that background materials are of a good quality and understandable. Project risks are reduced substantially.
Automatic Testing
Regression often occurs in application development. Regression is a phenomenon that occurs when the addition or change of one function has an impact on another system function – usually, it will stop working. This phenomenon can be reliably prevented by automated tests.
We primarily use the JUnit and Selenium tools for automated testing.
Utility Test
In utility tests, we monitor how users work with an application. The goal is to fine-tune the application’s user environment, so as to make it easy for users to understand, to enable them to work with it efficiently, and to ensure that their experience with the use of your application is positive.
Application Development
Are you considering having customised software developed? Business software created precisely to suit your needs is a very effective weapon for fighting the competition.
Customised business application development is a great investment that must be carefully thought through, and the supplier must be chosen well. If you are not sure about your way around the IT sector, an independent IT consultant can help you choose a supplier and define the specifications.
Linking IT and Business
In order for an application to work well, it must offer your business the greatest possible support.
The primary condition for the successful development of a business application is a good knowledge of your company’s business processes. Furthermore, it is necessary to know the needs of the users, i.e., your employees, and to respond to them such that the application would be a useful tool, rather than a necessary evil. It is also necessary for the application to cooperate smoothly with the other systems your company uses.
The mapping and description of these processes is ensured by a process analyst, the development and testing of the user interface is the responsibility of an integration designer, and cooperation with other systems is taken care of by the system architect. In many companies, however, all these roles are played by a single analyst; the disadvantage of that approach is that the analysis is then very one-sided. In order for us to maintain a high standard of quality, the process analyst, integration designer, and system architect are three different, independent specialists. The final solution is based on a discussion in which various views of the issue meet. Thanks to that, the resulting analysis is of a far higher quality.
Innovation and Risk Elimination
Innovation and new technologies yield new possibilities, but also new risks. That is why it is generally recommended that a maximum of one innovation is introduced in each project. One of the advantages of an experienced development team is practical knowledge of innovative technologies and methods. With this knowledge, you can implement new technologies without assuming undue risks.
At Pioneer, we apply an interactive approach to the development of business applications, based on the Scrum methodology. In this methodology, every stage resembles a whole project – it has its own analysis, design, development, testing, and roll-out. That allows us to safely introduce innovations at a far higher speed than is usual in the industry.
Pioneer is known for the high quality and professionalism of its employees. Our consultants can help you chose a supplier, analyse your requirements, and formulate your assignment. Our development team, whose strengths include, in particular, experience, emphasis on quality, agile development methodology, and a focus on user needs, can also arrange for the complete implementation of your project. An integral part of development is testing that we develop and conduct concurrently with the project.
