Excelon Development
Elevating the Software Delivery Process

Businesses, in their pursuit of cutting-edge solutions, prioritize the reliability and functionality of their software applications, best determined by stringent testing. However, limited visibility into testing coverage and the time-consuming and labor-intensive nature of traditional testing procedures hinders fast-tracking the software development timeline for a timely market launch.

Excelon Development, a beacon in the realm of software testing and services, offers innovative solutions to alleviate these challenges for software companies. At the core of its distinct approach is the strategic combination of contract hiring and placement services and managed software testing services that elevate and accelerate the software delivery process.

"We have a deep knowledge and expertise in the software testing field and access to a wide hiring pool of candidates to help companies scale their software development faster," says Matthew Heusser, managing director of Excelon Development.

Recognized as the most influential Agile test professional in 2014 and the top online contributor to Agile in 2015, Heusser leads Excelon's team of seasoned software engineering professionals.

In the staffing arena, the company provides a lifeline to clients with its contract-to-hire and placement services tailored to meet their software testing needs, guided by a solid understanding of regional employment laws. Access to top-tier candidates within Excelon’s large and diverse hiring pool proves invaluable for software businesses looking to assemble temporary teams for specific projects or fill crucial roles within existing teams.

Excelon engages testing professionals open to the flexibility of contracting for six months in client projects. Companies with sufficient budgetary margin have the option to hire these high-performing professionals permanently at the end of the six-month period after meticulous quality evaluation.

In engagements labeled as ‘Contracting Plus,’ Excelon’s team steps in to fill challenging roles or to provide staff support during periods of rapid growth or transition. It decodes, documents, and seamlessly integrates the roles within the client’s organization. Once it settles in the role, it actively shapes the software testing processes, identifies risks, and proposes improvements in security testing, continually refining the process to meet client objectives. This approach enables companies to adapt to market changes and maintain an operational workforce amid fluctuating staffing needs.

The second pillar of Excelon's operations is its managed services, which include support-as-a-service, infrastructure-as-a-service, and testing-as-a-service, along with published service-level agreements. As part of its drive to enhance testing efficiency, Excelon uses a visualization tool that explores performance coverage and predicts outcomes. This simplifies project planning, operations, and budgeting for clients.

Adding a third dimension to Excelon's capabilities is its consulting services. It provides assessment, recommendation, consulting, and training services, addressing clients' struggles in visualizing test coverage and effectiveness and understanding their application features. Acknowledging the need to balance testing range and release frequency, it implements effective tools and strategies that boost testing efficiency and speed up software market launches.

An example of Excelon's capabilities involves streamlining a mobile app release for an automotive manufacturer. It identified all the app features, designed test ideas for each feature, and ensured comprehensive testing coverage, which reduced the test release timeline from two weeks to just one day.

To help clients stay a step ahead in their software development, Excelon selects team members who are at the forefront of technological advancements in the industry. It invests in continuous learning and development programs and conferences, fostering a culture of knowledge-sharing among its team.

Committed to advancing industry knowledge, the company is set to release a book ‘Software Testing Strategies’ to share insights and further enhance the understanding of effective testing and problem-solving.

In an industry moving towards continuous software release and delivery, Excelon Development's strategic blend of expertise and adaptability positions it as a valuable partner for businesses seeking excellence in software testing to scale their product development and expedite market launch.
