How’s your Behaviour Driven Development? Healthy, sick or new-born? Drop in to the clinic at any point during the session and find out. Bring your code, tests, examples and scenarios in to the experts for a thorough check-up, diagnosis and prescription. We can give your code base a full going-over, from business value through unit tests, mocking, and code. Got problems? Not sure who to talk to? Just making sure everything’s all right? Let us help!

We are able to work with Java, C# and Ruby, and will consider other species if you can describe them to us.

Surviving the Economic Downturn

This session covers a successful transition to a new business model in a limited time span. Typically, Iowa Student Loan (ISL) sells bonds to fund the creation of private student loans. As financial markets deteriorated in 2008, the potential of successful bond sales diminished to the point of nonexistence. Heretofore, our systems assumed ISL as the only lender. Collaborative bank relationships changed this assumption to one of multiple lenders. A redesign of the loan program/loan type structure of our software followed to make the funding model very configurable.
