Development Methodology
The Internet requires a rigorous development on a robust conceptual framework, one that can incorporate the business flow at all levels of the organization. Without developing a theoretical framework to examine the specifications of the application, development of an application will make very little progress in exploiting the potentials of this unique environment. Hence a clear defined procedure for application development has been adopted at Niftysoft
It is the combination of art and science that gives the software its inherent use. Niftysoft follows a solution centric approach backed by well-established scientific procedures.
We adopt a collaborative approach towards application development, which involves an active participation of various functional teams for a complete understanding of the requirements and a better definition of the key processes that need to be incorporated into the application.
The common development framework begins with the Project Initiation Phase, where the core requirements are stated. Content Review, targeted audience and the functional requirement study are conducted to derive the project objectives and form the initial stage of the requirement study. The existing process or system in place is studied and a complete report about the function, behavior, performance and interface of the existing system is documented. This marks the end of the analysis stage. All specifications are clarified and the requirement document is frozen.
With the project scope and requirement needs confirmed during the project initiation and analysis stage, the design stage is initiated by the analysis of the integrated business model, where the functional roles and system parameters are viewed in relation. The GUI design and the screen interface are designed as per the stated needs. The project architecture is reviewed and finalized before proceeding to the next phase. The system is developed using various languages and development tools as preferred by the client.
Testing procedures like cross platform testing, load testing, stress test and analysis, integration testing, user acceptance testing is enforced on the developed system to study its behavior across various operational environments. The submission of the source code and the development documents marks the signoff phase of the project.
SERVICES
Successful organizations follow these five classic steps of developing products:
- Find a problem,
- Analyze it,
- Design an innovative solution,
- Code to the design, and
- Test the result
PROGRAMMING TEAM STRUCTURE
Every programmer team must have an internal structure. The best structure for a particular project depends on the nature of the project and the product and on the characteristics of the individual team members. There are three basic structures. They are
- Democratic teams
- Chief programmer teams
- Hiearchical team
Niftysoft adopt Democratic team structure to all the Project carried on behalf of the clients.
All the team members participate in all decisions. The idealized democratic team structure is also allied as an “egoless team”. The management and communication paths in an egoless team are illustrated in figure given below
In an egoless team, goals are set and decision is made by group consensus. Group’s leadership is moved from one member to the other based on the activity and the capability of the team members.
A democratic team is slightly different from that of the egoless team. In a democratic team one individual is designated as the team leader. He is responsible for the co-ordination of the team activities and also making decisions in critical situation. The leadership is not rotated among the team members as it happens in the egoless team.
Advantages of the democratic team includes
- Opportunity for each team member to contribute to decisions
- Team members can learn from one another
- Involvement in the project is increased as the team members are participating in each and every activity of the team
- As the problem is discussed in an open, no threatening work environment, the job satisfaction is higher in the democratic team
