From Initiaitive to Code to Deployment

Like all other engineering products, software products must be customer-oriented . Even if a product is engineered using the best of technology and has all the bells and whistles one can think of, if it is does not fulfill the customer’s need for getting the job done well, quickly and easily, it will make no headway in the market. Netspective will help you conceive, design, develop and deploy software products that effectively address specific customer concerns and win customer approval and acceptance.

Market Research

Netspective will help you conduct detailed market studies to identify existing and future customer needs. Rather than dividing the market into various segments, our approach is to analyze routine activities and workflows, and to devise simpler, easier and better ways of doing these. This results not only in better and more useful products and applications, but also in greater acceptance by end users, because products and applications designed this way will make their lives easier.

System Analysis and Design

Once the market study is completed and a decision has been arrived at regarding what product to develop, the next step is to decide how to go about developing it. Netspective will help you develop a cost-effective solution that can potentially perform customers’ jobs better than solutions offered by the competition. Since problems popping up during the design phase can result in very expensive remedial work later in the development process, Netspective pays careful attention to ensure the design is logical. A prototype will be developed as proof of concept. Our team also pays close attention to the scalability of the application to accommodate future requirements.

Code Generation

Once the conceptual system is designed, developed and tested in a hypothetical environment, Netspective’s developers will move in. The development team will translate the design into a machine-readable form through code generation.

Development Methodologies

Based on the product under development and various other parameters, Netspective will adopt a suitable System Development Life Cycle methodology from those given below:

• Waterfall Model
• Structured Evolutionary Prototyping Model
• Incremental Model
• Spiral Development Model
• Agile Development Model
  • Adaptive Software Development (ASD)
  • Feature Driven Development (FDD)
  • Dynamic Software Development Method (DSDM)
  • Rapid Application Development (RAD)
  • Scrum
  • Extreme Programming (XP)
  • Rational Unified Process (RUP)
  • Tailored Development Model

Testing and Validation

Once the code is generated, the software testing program begins. Different testing methodologies will be used to address bugs that might have crept in during the previous phases. Various test cases will be run during this stage to verify the correctness and completeness of the software. The objective is to ensure flawless performance from the product. We then make sure that we can run a successful execution of the test suite to make sure the application offers a robust and complete migration capability.

Netspective will carry out the following tests for this purpose:

• Functional: Integration and Regression Testing
• Non-Functional: Compatibility, Usability and Scalability Testing
• Performance: Load, Stress and Volume Testing
• Security: Risk Assessment, Security Reviews

Deployment and Training

Since applications are only as good as the use that can be derived from them, Netspective will training to end users prior to deployment to get them familiarized with the product. The software artifacts, online help, and initial production data will then be loaded on to a production server as specified in the deployment plan. Iterative User Acceptance Test (UAT) cases will be run at this point. Successful execution of the UAT test suite will be a prerequisite for sign off.

Maintenance

Post deployment, Netspective will also provide application maintenance services as per the terms of the service level agreement entered into with the client. As a software product matures in the production environment, changes will have to be incorporated to reflect realignment in workflows and new developments in the business environment. The scalability we factor in during the design and development phase makes this easier to accomplish.

Throughout this process, you can rely on Netspective to offer consistent, meticulously careful management of your project. We’ll act as your single point source for end-to-end application development services from concept to completion.
