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.
