dP follows proven benchmarks to provide outsourced software development services. dapproach to design and develop software applications is based upon industry standard practices such as Rational Unified Process, Waterfall Methodology, Spiral Development, Iterative Development, Prototyping, etc. Wherever possible, dP uses Rapid Application Development (RAD) frameworks and re-usable components to reduce the development timelines.

Depending upon the project dynamics & client preferences, dP applies the most optimum development methodologies backed up by efficient Project Management functions like Risk Management, Change Management, Version Control, etc. F ollowing figure depicts a typical process through which a medium/large sized application would go through

dP has in-house skill pool of experienced Project Managers and Technical Consultants. dP invests a lot in employee training.

Delivering quality software requires a team focus to meet the customer's business needs. The Boston Group's proven software process model, is based upon satisfying business requirements and delivering high quality, robust solutions.

Our process model provides a project planning structure that consists of four distinct phases. Each phase culminates in an externally visible milestone

The following list discusses key activities for the phases of an application development project.

Top

 Conceptualize

The purpose of the conceptualize phase is for the team and the customer to create a high-level view of the project’s goals and constraints. Following deliverables are met at the end of this phase:

• The main deliverable during this phase is the vision/scope document, which contains an analysis of the business problem, a description of the goals for the application, an outline of the solution concept, profiles of the application’s users, and design goals.
• The team drafts a master project plan, and a master project schedule. The master project plan describes how the application will be built, and the master project schedule describes when and in what order it will be built.

This phase culminates in the project plan/scope approved milestone.

 Design

The purpose of the Design phase, is to ramp-up the team size based on the project scope, business knowledge transition among the team. During this phase the team

• Drafts a functional specification document, that describes what will be built and includes content such as system design goals, requirements, features, and dependencies.
• Proposes system architecture and address security and scalability issues
• Uses our offshore team to bring speed and evolution expertise to the process.
• Delivers a working prototype of the system ready for usability testing and review

This phase culminates in the system prototype approved milestone.

 Develop

The purpose of the Develop phase, is to focus on building and testing the application. This phase involves a series of internal releases of the application, developed in parallel and in modules, to measure the progress of the application and to ensure the pieces of the application are synchronized.

• Refine specifications and architecture
• Uses our offshore development team to create high-quality, cost-effective applications
• Test and quality assure the entire application

This phase culminates in the scope complete milestone.

 Stabilize

The purpose of the Stabilize phase, is to test the application in a natural environment. During this phase the team:

• Resolves outstanding issues
• Completes documentation for the project
• Transitions knowledge to the client

This phase culminates in the application release milestone.

Comprehensive. Field-tested. And fully scalable. Our process model ensures quality service and rapid delivery for companies of every size.
