About The Software Development Process
We develop many different kinds of software, including Internet/Web based software, desktop applications and background server based software. No matter what type of project it is, our process is more or less the same.
Before NLI Media Group can develop a software application that will work for your organization, we must determine your needs. At our initial kick-off meeting we will discuss your vision for the project and how you intend to use your new software. Your project manager and software developers will listen closely and ask questions, prompting you to discuss your needs, hopes and fears concerning the project.
If no specification or prototype of the software has been created, our team will begin by writing a detailed conceptual specification for your software.
This will be a joint effort initiated by us but completed as a collaborative work done by our project team, including your company's appropriate personnel. This specification does not attempt to address how the application will perform. It will address exclusively what the application is to do, in explicit detail. Once this specification is completed the entire team (our staff and yours) will have a clear picture of exactly what the application is to do.
Before development begins we'll determine what technologies are to be used. For example, will we use Windows® servers? Will we develop the software using Java® or Microsoft DOT.NET® technology? What databases will we use?
Once the conceptual specification is complete, we will either begin designing any user interfaces for smaller projects, or for larger projects, we'll create interface mock ups and write a design specification. Generally, we'll begin development of different phases simultaneously. For example, we'll design the database and the back end functionality at the same time that we are developing user (and external software) interfaces. Early on in development, we begin the process of testing and debugging the application.
As the software is being designed and developed our graphic design team will be working on making the application look outstanding and insuring that the interfaces are intuitive and easy to use.
Once the initial software development is completed, we begin with final testing and debugging. Once the entire team agrees that the application is complete we will begin the process of deployment. For Web applications, that generally simply means making the test Website available to its intended user base. For other applications it means installing copies of the software components on the proper computer(s).
Once deployment is complete, we do 'live' testing and debugging to insure that the entire application is working correctly in the environment in which it is to be used. Once the application is in production, our staff will continually work with yours to maintain it and make any changes and/or upgrades that may be necessary over the life of the software.
