Development Process

Offshore Software Development Methodology

Igoodsoft follows a full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
Once you have chosen Igoodsoft Inc. for development work, the next steps are simple.

Envisioning

After you submit a Request for Quote to us, we form a core team that prepares vision/scope documents for your project free of charge. We envision the overall direction for the project, including determining which features the solution will and will not include, and a general schedule for delivery.

Planning

During this phase the team prepares the functional specifications, works the design process through, and prepares work plans, cost estimates and schedules for the various deliverables.

This work is carried out by us free of charge.

The stage is completed by the signing of a contract.

In complicated cases a screen prototype of a new system can also be developed. This allows the customer to review the future system and to give their feedback at an early stage of the development.

Design and Development

Our team accomplishes the building of solution components (code as well as documentation). Our process model combines principles of waterfall and spiral models. We use the best approaches of several standard processes and support different kinds of outsourcing.

Our development process is interactive. That means that customers monitor the progress of development online so they won't be faced with any sudden issues at the end.

Testing

In this phase testing is conducted on a solution whose features are complete. Testing emphasizes usage and operation under realistic environmental conditions. The team focuses on resolving and triaging (prioritizing) bugs and preparing the solution for release.

Testers develop the Test Plan, test cases and scripts, test the system and verify that it operates according to the specification.

After rigorous testing, we launch the application.

Delivery and Support

Igoodsoft's team deploys the core technology and site components, stabilizes the deployment, transitions the project to operations and support, and obtains final customer approval for the project.

It is not just a Product that is delivered to the customer, it is a Solution.

Usually a typical software package includes:

• Software product
• Quality Assurance documentation
• Technical requirements documentation and design documentation
• User's Guide
• Installation program and instructions
• Documented source code
• Maintenance instructions

All intellectual property rights and software source code are retained by the customer.

The development team keeps supporting the system after installation.
