Welcome to Bensoft's Software Design Team! Our software design team does research in many areas of software engineering, including: design languages and analysis, extraction of designs from code, checking conformance of code to designs, and automatic test case generation. Our philosophy is to couple lightweight design and specification notations with powerful tools. We are well-versed in Java, PHP, and ASP among other programming languages, and have developed custom solutions for a number of business needs. We develop and evaluate our ideas in the context of real software systems. Our software has been used in a variety of e-commerce and database solutions, and we are always looking forward to new challenges! The benefits of Bensoft software design include the following: - Experience with object-oriented methods and software construction. - Systematic approaches to building bug-free object-oriented systems. - Effective frameworks for debugging, testing and quality assurance. - Method for documenting software components. - Techniques for dealing with abnormal cases, leading to a safe and effective troubleshooting. A major component of quality in software is reliability: a system's ability to perform its job according to the specification and to handle abnormal situations. To improve software reliability, the first and perhaps most difficult problem is to define as precisely as possible, for each software element, what it is supposed to do. Another key application of contracts is to provide a standard way to document software elements. We have learned from our customers and from our own experience that this documentation helps software design and project management, as it encourages developers and managers to discuss the key issues (interface, specification, inter-module protocols) rather than internal details. Have a project in mind? Drop us a line today, and we'll see what we can come up with to help design a software solution for you!
