Supporting Systems
Our staff is trained on Microsoft Tools. We utilize tools like: Visual Studio Tester Edition, Team Foundation Server, and MOSS. We utilize these tools on most of our engagements. If you’ve already made an investment in other supporting systems, our methodology can be adapted to use your tools & frameworks.
Quality Audits & Assessments

Assessments are also part of our product offering. Magenic QAT Leads can provide consulting best practices for your Quality Initiatives. We can help to install a Quality Department within your organization or work with you to add Quality Organization for your development project.
