Development Methodology
Analyze Soft's software development methodology employs the following processes as part of a rigorous Software Development Life Cycle:
- Project charter and business case
- Definition of the business process and business requirements
- Documentation of user, functional, and system requirements
- Top-level architecture, technical approach, and system design
- System decomposition into component and unit specifications and design
- Coding, unit test planning, and unit test
- Generation of test data for unit testing and system testing
- System integration and testing
- Implementation, delivery, and cut-over
- Training and user support
- System upgrades and routine software maintenance
Advantages
Appropriate methodology provides:
- Adequate risk management
- Shorter delivery times
- Improved process discipline
- Better value and quality
Waterfall versus Spiral Methodology
The waterfall methodology offers the following advantages:
- Hierarchical and orderly structure
- Work done in stages
- Content review done between stages
The spiral methodology has the following characteristics:
- Increased parallelism
- Concurrency in design and build activities
- The relationship between tasks with rapid prototyping
Analyze Soft has implemented major government projects using the Spiral methodology. It is our method of choice because:
- Processes are both incremental and iterative enabling multiple deliveries and hand-off
- Time-to-market is reduced, which is very vital in current fast-paced implementations
