Architecture Design
Delacor designs a custom software architecture that ensures your project will be easy to maintain, support and grow as it becomes larger and more complex. We design your next project’s architecture from the ground up and work together with your software team through the implementation phase.
Best Practices
Delacor works with your team to implement industry-standard best practices and processes. We have extensive experience implementing processes to organize and efficiently reuse code, deploying maintenance strategies, and using source code control solutions.
Custom Training
Delacor develops and delivers a custom training curriculum specific to your organization’s needs. We offer training ranging from basic LabVIEW programming skills through developing, deploying and maintaining very large scale applications.
Hardware Integration
Delacor recommends the best off-the-shelf hardware for your application, but sometimes the best solution requires some custom hardware. We design, prototype and build custom measurement and control solutions to match your application.
Our group was looking to improve our current LabVIEW development practices. We wanted to implement an architecture that would lend itself to easy scalability and modularity. In addition, we wanted the ability to scale the development team with the additional help of outside consultants.
When choosing the architecture, we had decided on the Actor Framework; that changed with the release of the Delacor DQMH. After comparing the two frameworks, we decided that the Delacor DQMH would serve our team best in achieving our goals. After deciding to use the DQMH, we wanted to create a development environment that would move the developers from an individual development environment to a team development environment.
Fabiola and the group at Delacor were fantastic. They spoke to every developer and the customers that they served and evaluated our current development practices. After the evaluation, they provided a thermometer visualizing the health of development practices. In addition, they also provided development guidelines to be used by our team and custom tools to assist with performing code reviews and source code control. Immediately, we experienced success when following the suggested guidelines. This became apparent with the onboarding of a new hire with no LabVIEW development experience. Using the DQMH as an integral component in the new architecture, and following the new development practices, the new hire is rapidly developing an automated test system for a new product line with reusable components. The quality of code developed for this project far exceeds any prior application that was developed by our experienced LabVIEW developers.
In the end, Fabiola is outstanding, and I would like to state that Delacor’s competency far exceeded my expectations and I look forward to using their services in future endeavors. Without their services, we would not have made the rapid advances (6 months) in our development framework (DQMH), test architecture (DQMH and TestStand), and development practices (guidelines, code review and source control).
