Sapple Systems Software development & delivery model is developed over the experience of managing process over several engagements and is a structure imposed on the development of a software product. This model is process-based and is compliant with international quality standards that help us deliver repeatable, customer focused, reliable, and quality systems. This is a milestone-based model that provides guidelines on planning and controlling software projects based on their assigned resources, scope, and schedule.
We follow Software-as-a-service (SaaS) model of software deployment where an application is hosted as a service provided to clients across the Internet. By eliminating the need to setup and run the application on the client’s own computer, SaaS reduces the client’s burden of software support & maintenance and ongoing operation. SaaS can also reduce the up-front cost of software purchases.
This model consists of the following main stages that may be carried out repeatedly depending on the type of client or requirement of the project:
- Process Analysis - The project processes and objectives are analyzed so as to determine and understand the overall viability and requirements of the suggested development.
- Solution Design and Development - The functional specifications of the proposed solution are drafted. This ensures that all rules of the business are captured and the solution arrived is both user-centric and process-driven. The approved functional specifications and project plan serve as the platform for development to start. During development a component-based approach is used in order to maximize Reusability and Scalability options, reduce maintenance and decrease software development complexity.
- Quality Checking - Post development, the application is thoroughly tested for its performance, functionality, and usability. Test plan and test cases defining the scope of testing, the techniques for testing, and tools for the application is decided and executed to ensure that the product delivered is reliable and of highest quality.
- Solution Implementation - The fully tested and functional application is then deployed in the production environment and we make sure that the benefit of the solution is further enhanced through customized training, user documentation and onsite support if required.
Project Control and Monitoring - This process includes monitoring and analyzing project components, risk management, defect prevention strategies, manage, review and audit project activities and status reporting, effective client communication.
