About Masterbolt Development
Contrary to popular belief, not everything in the Computer Industry becomes obsolete with age... Whether it be the Hardware, the Software or (because it makes the programmers feel more important) the Warmware, keeping things current in technology and skillsets makes things run smoothly. At Masterbolt, using the latest and greatest tool or GeekSpeak is far less important than creating something that is clean, efficient, accurate and easily maintainable. No one wants to spend their hard earned money on something that has to be remade whenever Apple, Google or Microsoft make a change. Masterbolt's Lead Designer, who oversees every project, builds your design with growth in capability, capacity and operating platforms in mind. With 40 years of Cross-Platform development experience, we have proven that you DON'T have to have a separate development team for iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux. You CAN have a single, easily maintainable Code Base for all 5 platforms. Let Masterbolt show you how.
What we do
Listen
You know what your goal is, and you have a pretty good idea of what you want to accomplish. Our most important job is to listen and digest your concepts, and then figure out a solid way to get you there.
Ask Questions
You are the expert on your project. There is no such thing as a bad question, only a REALLY BAD result if the right questions aren't asked. This and the previous step are on a wash-rinse-repeat cycle until we both have it figured out.
Storyboard
Now we draw pictures. Seriously. We take the results of the previous steps and create every screen, holding every piece of information and managing every step required by your project. When you get this, you will look at it, tear it apart and let us know what we missed - and then we'll go back and do it again until you are satisfied.
Mock it up on a real device
Looking at pictures is one thing. Seeing it actually on a device, or different kinds of devices is something altogether different. Changes could be as simple as changing a color, or a type font, but something that seemed to be good on paper, really didn't flow right on the device.
Code
Once all that preparatory work has been done, NOW we start to code and bring your project to life. If Dr Frankenstein had followed this path, he would never have had to rebalance that abnormal brain Igor got him. (Yes, we are into old Mel Brooks movies).
Test
There is an old programmer's adage: "No program can't be one line shorter, and doesn't have at least one bug. So the perfect program is 1 line long and doesn't work." This is another of those wash-rinse-repeat cycles. It's going to happen. It always does. Maybe not a coding error, but definitely something that doesn't work as expected.
Deploy
Whew, I never thought that we'd get here. Still, its possible that something sneaky and stealthy could sneak through. That's where Masterbolt's 365 day/year comes into play. We are here to monitor your software and respond to anything that goes wrong. We'll track down that pesky bug and put things back on track.
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
A typical project is made up of distinct parts: 1) Definition/Analysis, 2) Design, 3) Development and 4) Deployment. Your project may use all or just some of these. Maybe you are just looking for a 3rd party perspective on your ideas – and only have us do the Definition and Analysis. Maybe you want something taken through a storyboard for future planning and we take it through the Design stage. ”No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem”. On the right, we have an initial schematic from the design document for the Administrator side of SafeDriveZone, an App for Android and iOS, that we were awarded a software patent for – based on the technology we developed for this product. Below the schematic is a definition page outlining one of its screens and the types and size of the data elements associated with it.
Below is listed what you will receive at the completion of each section.
- Definition and Analysis
- A concept document itemizing the scope and ideas behind the project. It will include a wishlist of features, and reasons for them, that will eventually evolve into the design document – which may include versioning the project to meet required timeframes. This document becomes the “master plan” for the design phase.
- Design
- Design Book detailing the components, data structures, data flow and reasoning behind every aspect of the project. This project’s holy grail.
- Development
- Schedule for staged development
- Weekly status reports regarding module development
- Interim usable versions for approval and testing as modules are completed.
- Completed versions by platform for acceptance and testing prior to deployment
- Complete, documented source code to be provided on acceptance of deployment.
- Deployment
- Documents scheduling and detailing:
- Uploading and acceptance into Google Play (if Android)
- Uploading and acceptance into the App Store (if iOS)
- Uploading and acceptance into the Mac App Store (if macOS)
- Uploading and configuring for Web Based deployment (if Windows or Linux)
- Completion document certifying achieving all objectives
- Documents scheduling and detailing:

WHY DO YOU CHOOSE MASTERBOLT
OUR SERVICES
40 Years of Experience
Yep, that's a long time - and not combined years, but linear years. In the computer industry that blows right through ancient, and heads right to the range of relic. But with that age comes experience, and we've kept our skills current with the latest and greatest. That means we can handle your project with practiced efficiency.
365 Support
Yes, we are available 365 days a year. Not, 24-7 (we DO need some sleep), but we know that the automation we build for you needs to be working, even when you aren't. In many cases this is the lifeblood of your business. You need the help when you need it.
Development
R&D can be expensive, especially if you do it internally. Its not just the time and resources to build and deploy, but also the upkeep. If you are like most companies, that means a team for every platform you need to use - and tech types that can work on multiple platforms are expensive. Really expensive. We can show you a way to minimize that cost.
Cross Platform Coverage
We provide support for 5 different operating environments (Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux), 3 different database technologies (SQL, noSQL and Memory based systems) and 3 access methodologies (Direct, REST and SOAP). We've written in C, C++, Java, PHP, Corona, ColdFusion and other Geek Stuff. The technology we use allows us to support all 5 operating systems and 3 access methodologies with a single code base, thus keeping development and deployment costs to an absolute minimum.
Professional Design
From our experience with Hurricane Ian, we can firmly state that with a solid foundation, a well structured product can withstand even a Cat 5 Hurricane. A poorly designed system will leave holes in performance and capability that can end up being more expensive and limiting than the cost paid in the beginning. A wise man once said: "Why is there no time to do it right the first time, but plenty of time to do it over?" Hmmm
