 |
A software development process is a structure imposed on the development of a software product. Synonyms include software life cycle and software process. There are several models for such processes, each describing approaches to a variety of tasks or activities that take place during the process. Set of activities that result in software products. Software development may include new development, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, or any other activities that result in software products. Software development services include ERP solutions, CRM, e-business, custom software development, software re-engineering and content management systems. The technical solution delivery team understands the application requirements thoroughly, prepares the architecture, develops, tests and finally implements the solution in your business environment. |

| 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. |
| |
| Design and Development: |
The team accomplishes the building of solution components (code as well as documentation). The process model combines principles of waterfall and spiral models. Best approaches of several standard processes are used. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| Delivery and Support: |
The 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: |
| |
|

|
Technical requirements documentation and design documentation |
|
User's Guide |
|
Installation program and instructions |
|
