Custom Software – How it Works
In order to deliver a quality product, it is necessary for us to have a very good understanding of our client’s needs. We have added this information section not only to assist clients that are new to the software development life cycle, but also to be transparent about our design philosophy. For the best results and for projects to be completed on time, the following processes (milestones) must be completed successfully:
- Envisioning.
- Planning.
- Developing.
- Stabilizing.
- Deploying.
- The Envisioning Phase.
In this phase we will be defining the business goals. The business problems and opportunities will be analysed in order for us to identify the objectives for the solution. We will evaluate the current situation and do an analysis of the current and expected solution. We will be communicating with our client extensively to enable us to define the scope and vision of the project.
- The Planning Phase.
During this phase, we will be doing an analysis of the requirements which includes system requirements, operational requirements, business requirements and user requirements. We will then use these requirements to design a solution as well as to validate the correctness of the design. During this phase, the functional specification will be completed and will be submitted for review. The project release date will also be specified during this stage.
- The Developing Phase.
During this phase, our project team will create the agreed upon solution for our client. After completion of this phase, the product will be ready for external testing and stabilization. It will also now give customers, users, support personnel, operations and stakeholders the opportunity to evaluate the product and to identify any issues.
- The Stabilizing Phase.
During this stage, our team performs load, integration and beta testing of the solution. The team will also now test the deployment scenarios for the solution. Additionally, the team will focus on prioritizing, identifying and resolving issues in order for the solution to be prepared for release. After completion of this stage, the solution is ready for release.
- The Deploying Phase.
During this phase, our team will deploy the solution technology and site components and we will also verify that the deployment is stable.
