An IT Solution uses a proven methodology to consistently produce application Development
solutions for our clients. Our methodology is founded on principles of the agile
Development, coupled with SEI CMM assessed processes. We have adapted these approaches
to the requirements of application Development in a highly collaborative, cross-border
environment.The result is an approach that facilitates rapid, incrementalDevelopment,
helping our clients to mitigate risk, lower lifecycle cost, and speed time to deployment.
Application Development outsourcing ensures that geography no longer poses a hurdle,
through leveraging upon a 24x7 global delivery model.
Key features of our custom application Development approach include:
- Agile-based process-oriented Development principles
- Near-zero black box approach for involving clients from end-to-end stages of the
Development cycle
- Predefined methodologies and frameworks
- Structured and managed requirements definition process
- Proprietary tools to improve effectiveness of the Development process
- Strong focus on quality
- Rigorous program management processes
- Effective communication and collaboration processes
An IT Solution follows the 4D methodology for custom application Development:
Define Application Requirements
In the Define phase, we define the expectations and requirements for the desired
solution. Through investigative discussions with the client, An IT Solution facilitates
the creation of a comprehensive plan for which is based on a solid understanding
of the client's business goals of application Development and constituents that
shall enable the achievement of such goals. The Define phase typically addresses
the following major areas:
- Business process
- Application
- Technology
- Content/data
- User experience
- Integration points
- Location of Development work
- Organization of teams
- Training
- Timelines
- Measures of succes
The Define phase provides the foundation on which application design is built. Depending
on the complexity of the solution to be developed, the deliverables of this phase
encompasses:
- Project plan
- Use case model
- Software requirements specification
- Risk management plan
- User experience framework
- Logical architecture diagram
- Integration architecture diagram
- Quality assurance plan
- Project administration plan
- Communication plan>
Design Application Requirements
The Design phase focuses on three key elements: content, functionality and usability.
Other areas addressed in this phase include support and maintenance requirements,
resulting hardware/server/database impact, and overall performance and cost issues.
Application Functional Design
The first design activity is the Development of a high-level, structural view of
the Web application. This step focuses on determining the content and functionality
necessary to meet established business requirements. It is often facilitated by
a joint application design (JAD) session between An IT Solution and client project
teams.
Application Technical Design
Guided by the functional design, An IT Solution's team will create a detailed application
design. Once complete, the templates, graphical elements, and custom code modules
necessary to implement the high- level design is initiated. Standards, features,
graphics, database connectivity and dynamic report generation are agreed upon during
this phase to ensure that users will be able to effectively view and navigate the
site depending upon the usage environment. An acceptance test plan is developed
as part of the technical design that thoroughly outlines the testing procedures
for the system prior to deployment.
Application Development
Development is generally performed on a separate Development system housed at a
An IT Solution facility as part of our global delivery model. An IT Solution mirrors
the client's environment to ensure smooth integration. Alternately, depending upon
the client requirements, An IT Solution can provide expert resources at the client
site in order to carry out the process.
During the Develop stage, integration and setup of all hardware and software required
to support the application, including the appropriate operating system, server,
and database systems is carried out. This phase also includes a thorough integration,
system, functional and acceptance test stage that ensures that the application performs
according to its design and quality specifications. An IT Solution uses a proprietary
Agile-Based Client-Driven (ABCD) Development approach that focuses on creating client
delight through early and continuous delivery of valuable software using Agile practices.
Applicaiton Deployment
Final deployment of the solution includes setup and testing of all application components
developed by An IT Solution at the client's facility, as well as any required training
on the application's use and operation. Our acceptance procedures include performance
testing services encompassing review of architecture and usage, predictive modeling,
stress testing, and detailed analysis and recommendations.
