In order to implement successfully
offshore outsourcing strategy and capitalize on the
advantages of software solutions, offshore development
process makes the difference in terms of cost effectiveness
and business flexibility.
A project's success depends as much
on business objective alignment, project management,
designing and development processes as on writing quality
code. Merely choosing a technology is insufficient.
True, business success is achieved by maximizing the
effectiveness of the technologies selected. That’s
why a disciplined development process is critical to
successfully create business solutions on time, in scope,
and within budget.
Our vendors use one of the best proven
practices for building and deploying strategic web solutions.
Their key strength is our Software Development Life
Cycle.
The guiding principles of our offshore
development vendors’ software development process
are:
- Process centric activity
- Continuous, focused and formatted communication
- Adherence to the basic tenets of Project Management
(PM-Initiation, planning, execution, control and
closing)
- Implementation of measurable metrics for the
life cycle of a project
- Established risk management and risk mitigation
practices
- Well defined Quality Management Systems
- Well laid out Intellectual Property Practices
There are many different models
and methodologies, but each generally consists of a
series of defined steps or stages. Overall, the development
process can be described as follows:
Phase 1 & 2 Project planning,
feasibility study:
Establishes a high-level view of the intended project
and determines its goals.
Phase 3- Systems analysis, requirements
definition:
Refines project goals into defined functions and operation
of the intended application. Analyzes end-user information
needs.
Phase 4- Systems design:
Describes desired features and operations in detail,
including screen layouts, business rules, process diagrams,
pseudo code and other documentation.
Phase 5- Implementation:
The real code is written here.
Phase 6- Integration and testing:
Brings all the pieces together into a special testing
environment, then checks for errors, bugs and interoperability.
Phase 7- Acceptance, installation,
deployment:
The final stage of initial development, where the software
is put into production and runs actual business.
Phase 8- Maintenance:
What happens during the rest of the software's life:
changes, correction, additions, migration to a different
computing platform and more. This, the least glamorous
and perhaps most important step of all: goes on seemingly
forever.
