At Infoscaler, the life-cycle of every project is mapped to our development
process framework, which is a tested and proven methodology for efficient
end-to-end delivery. People, Process and Technology are integrated into a model
that guarantees successful execution.
We have a customer-centric approach to project implementation that allows our
project managers and clients to be in total control. Throughout the development
process, the project manager maintains regular communication with the client
providing status updates and getting feedback from the client.
Our development process is broadly divided into the following six phases:
Needs Analysis and Functional Specifications
System Architecture and Design
Development and Integration
Testing and Quality Assurance
Deployment and Launch
Post Production Customer Support
Needs Analysis and Functional Specifications
In this phase discussions are centered around clearly identifying and defining
the needs of the clients, and understanding their goals. We then evaluate and
propose technology and implementation options to the client, choosing a
solution that meets all of their requirements. The solutions are documented as
functional specifications and becomes the roadmap to engineer and develop the
application. A project schedule is also created and submitted to the client for
their reference and project control.
System Architecture and Design
During this phase we architect and design the blueprint for the system,
including database design, business logic, back-end functionality,
B2B/ERP/Legacy system integration and user interface design. This phase
determines what the system will look like, how it will work and how it should
be constructed. The output is a detailed blueprint with design guidelines, and
the technical architecture.
Development and Integration
The Project Manager divides the project into multiple functional areas such as:
(a) Business Logic Development (b) Database Development (c) Backend and B2B
Integration and (d) User Interface Design. These are further divided into
sub-projects and assigned to team members. Sub-projects are developed in
parallel and team leaders create test plans for each sub-project. The
sub-projects are tested in parallel using the scripts specified in the test
plans.
Testing and Quality Assurance
The sub-projects are integrated to form a complete system and tested by the
development team. The system is then passed on to Quality Assurance. The QA
team integrates test scripts from all sub-project test plans and creates
additional system-level and integration test scripts to create a system test
plan. The system is tested thoroughly by the Quality Assurance team and all
bugs are resolved.
Deployment and Launch
The system/site is deployed on a staging server and made available to the
client and partners for beta testing and feedback. Production servers are
configured and the System/Site is deployed to production servers. The QA team
goes through a final round of testing on the production servers and launches
the site after client approval.
Post Production Customer Support
We provide continuous support and maintenance services on the systems we have
build and setup. Incremental updates and enhancements are made to the system as
needed.
