"Committed truly to the customer’s values"
A Software development, Offshore outsourcing firm in India.
Outsource your application development projects in India
We have experienced professionals in the field of development of various Client/Server, .NET, desktop and Web-based applications using C++/C#, Java, Perl, and Delphi, Visual Basic, SQL, Oracle and other tools. Whether you need an office, manufacturing or customer support system, we have the tools and talent to complete it.
We are gradually introducing higher and better Quality Assurance principles into practice, and deliver high-quality products within your budget. All software systems are properly tested and delivered with on-line help subsystems and documentation. We provide a 6-month warranty for all our systems. We are flexible and this term may be extended, depending upon the nature of project. Furthermore, our designers make our systems ergonomically correct, convenient to use and pleasing to the eye.
Our Development Process includes the following three stages.
Stage 1 - Analysis, Proposal and Specification
It all begins with our initial understanding of your needs and wishes. Based on this, we create a detailed proposal with an outline of the tools, technologies, components, deliverables and milestones of the project. We estimate efforts and provide time frame for each item, so you can see the resources used for each part of the project. From the very beginning, to illustrate our understanding of the scope of your project, we will provide you with a detailed project plan and team structure.
The next step is to define and document all your requirements. In some cases, when the customer provides a well-developed specification, we proceed directly to Stage 2 i.e. Implementation. Otherwise, we do a requirement analysis and develop a system specification.
A system specification usually contains a description of the:
- System Purpose, Functions and Architecture
- User Interface and Reports, including all screens and pages
- Object Model, Data Structures, Communication and Interface Protocols
- System Performance and System Acceptance criteria
- Project Plan with schedules and costs
In complicated cases a screen prototype of a new system can also be developed. It allows the customer's staff members to review the future system and to give their feedback at an early stage of the development.
Depending on the project complexity, development of a specification can take from a couple of days to a couple of months. A specification must be reviewed and approved by the client before implementation begins.
The main purpose of stage 1 is to understand the system's requirements, features, specifying development tools and platform, the project deliverables and milestones. Such an approach makes it possible to avoid any mistakes in the system design and to plan the future transition period and staff training, if required. It also gives you an opportunity to add or cut features, depending on budget and other factors.
Stage 2 - Implementation and Testing
Once the Specification has been accepted and approved, we initiate software development. Programmers begin coding using the specification, while designers develop necessary elements of the user interface and make it ergonomically correct. Testers develop the Test plan, test cases and scripts, test the system and verify that it operates according to the specification. Our technical writers create necessary user and system documentation. During the entire implementation stage, the performance of team members will be monitored, the project progress is reported, and all requested changes and any defects discovered in the software be tracked.
The results of this stage are:
- Regular deliveries of the code developed
- Test Plan and Acceptance Testing Criteria
- Test cases and testing scripts, if required
- Testing Reports
- Labor and Status Reports, if required
- Project Plan updates
- System and source code documentation
- User's Guide, if required
- Context-sensitive Help, if required
- Installation program and instructions
- Data conversion utilities, if required
- Integrated software product installed in a test mode
Stage 3 - Installation, Integration and Operation
The final stage of system development is to move the product from a test mode to the production environment with conversion of existing data, if required. Our staff and future users will install and test the system in pre-production mode. Their comments are key in making any final changes and verifying the operation. When tests show that the product is operating in accordance with the specification, the software product will be installed in production mode.
The development team will continue to support the customer after installation, and we also provide a minimum 6-month warranty, during which we will eliminate any bugs found, free of charge. We will also provide further maintenance of the system if required.
During the entire development process, the customer has tight control over the project, and can even make small enhancements or changes to the system.
