Agile Software Engineering

ASE stands for ‘Agile Software Engineering’ and is aimed at software development teams that apply or wish to apply modern agile software engineering practices such as unit testing, test-driven development (TDD), test isolation, refactoring, exploratory testing, and the associated tools.

The benefits of this method range from overall higher product quality and better designs and code to reduced maintenance effort and ultimately increased development speed.

Our Philosophy / Mission

Only when software developers realize their full potential and possess software engineering leadership skills can technological excellence be achieved. Therefore, investing in the development of software developer skills is always an investment in the future. Technology can serve as a foundation for innovation, quality, security, and, above all, cost reduction.

That’s why we use the ‘I-C-E’ method, which addresses the unique challenges of each software developer and supports them in overcoming obstacles. Our Agile Software Engineering Coaching employs the latest technologies and helps experienced software developers achieve leadership excellence. More than 100 software engineers have already benefited from our training in this way.
