Votident Software

To ensure quality, all Votident software is written to the highest technical standards using pair programming and test driven development.

In pair programming, two developers work together to ensure the highest quality standards.

Test Driven Development is a development method in which developers first create tests, then write the production code necessary to pass the tests.

 As a result, our developers write good code from start so mistakes will not have to be fixed later, saving both time and money.

    Development Tools

    • Solutions are custom developed in C# using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.
    • Solutions implement Microsoft SQL Server 2008 as the database backend.
    • All software changes and updates are documented in a continious quality assurance review
    Security

    To ensure security Votident software uses AES 256 encryption. This encryption was approved by the United States Government National Institute of Standards and Technology after a 5 year review.

    Votident uses AES 256 because it is the strongest encryption available. Each Votident application generates a unique security key ensuring that no two machines are alike. Votident stores user passwords using the SHA512 hashing algorithm.
