| SDLC Process |
|
Software Development Life Cycle is a process by which user requirements are
elicited and software satisfying these requirements is designed, built, tested
and delivered to the client. The Development Process is used when a new application
is being developed or a major enhancement is being done to an existing application.
|
| At A7 Technologies, the licenses of software used in our state-of-art development
A7 Technologies adopts the Spiral Progressive Approach to deliver a project.
The salient features of this approach are: |
 |
It follows an iterative Development model |
|
Development phases are revisited with a feedback loop from forward stages at the end of critical milestones/changes |
|
At one particular time all discipline of projects are active. |
|
The active percentages of each discipline are different,
depending upon what phase we are currently focusing. This is equivalent to saying that at one
particular time we will doing a% requirements, b% design, c% construction, d% deployment. |
|
The main benefit of this approach is that the customer can always see how the
project is shaping up, not like waterfall approach where customer sees projects
only after one phase is complete. This process reduces rework. UML is used as a
base modeling language in each phase.
We have expertise in iterative development methodology.
We have successfully implemented Rational Unified Process (RUP),
Extreme Programming and Agile Methodologies in our projects.
During our talks with our customer, we propose different models and
we choose best approach for project execution with approval from customer.

How do we implement these processes while working with our offshore clients?
|
|
At A7 Technologies, these processes are defined very clearly and we have a Process Matrix.
Process Matrix lists all departments, including inter and intra department dependencies.
Process Matrix also defines inter-department process by defining interfaces,
process responsibilities and artifacts for each department. We interact and engage
with our US clients in all these phases and collaborate at each phase with the onshore team.
