Software Development for Small Business

There are many things you can do to improve the way your business operates. You've probably been able to put some of them into practice. But did you ever try to change something about your business only to find that you couldn't do it because your off-the-shelf software wouldn't support it? There's an answer. After years of experience in the development industry. The 5-step process is applied to every project no matter how big or small. Without a process like this, all the nightmares you've heard about software development can become a reality. We make sure that neither of us has to go through that.

Technical and User Documentation No solution would be complete or maintainable without an appropriate level of documentation. At RC, we believe that documentation at all levels of the development lifecycle is crucial for the continuity of a project. Technical documentation starts with project inception and is maintained and versioned in our central management systems. These documents form the backbone of the technical documentation provided to our clients that detail installation instructions, maintenance procedures, system structure, and all the information necessary for the continued support of our products throughout their lifespan. User documentation is also started early on in the process and reined as the project progresses. The style and the content of the user documentation is tailored to the audience. Delivery methods also vary to include online help systems, printed materials, training curriculums, computer based training, etc.

Development Methodology Scope- The goal of Scope is to gain a very clear understanding of the users' needs and expectations, including screen shots, work flow, required fields, technologies used on the network, applications that will share information, and the required timeline. Once the scope has been clearly defined in writing and agreed to by the client, Pre-Development begins. Pre-Development- The goal of Pre-Development is to order any required software or hardware and set up the lines of communication between ITS and the client. A communication web site is set up to view the project progress and report bugs and changes. Having this clear path of communication prior to development reduces development time and confusion. Development- The goal of Development is to produce the agreed-upon Scope document requirements. During this phase, group meetings are held with the client's key decision makers to review the current progress and any new issues. This is typically the longest phase of the overall process.   Testing and Beta Delivery - The goal of Testing is to test the application in a betaproduction environment and correct any bugs. After completion  of testing, the beta application is turned over to the client for a testing period. Several rounds of testing are included with changes to the application made in between testing. Integration and Installation marks the delivery of the final product and its integration into the live production environment. If training is included in the Scope it is performed here. Any agreed-upon documentation is also provided at this point. The project completion form is signed upon delivery of the final product. Final payment is also made after sign off.
