Requirements engineering:
The objective of the requirement management process is to establish and maintain
a common understanding with the customer on the requirements tackled by the
software project.
A survey of more than 8000 projects conducted by Standish Group (IT value
researchers) found that the top three reasons that projects ran over
schedule, over budget and with less functionality than desired are all related
to requirement management.
Relying on our diversified business Domain Knowledge and many large software
projects experience, we offer the following range of analysis services:
- Gathering and elicitation of business requirement from system stakeholders
- Preparing high level requirement documents
- Software Requirement Specification SRS Software Requirement Specification SRS
- Preparing low level requirement documents
- Complete business Use Case
Usability engineering:
Systems with high usability should be easy to use, easy to retain, efficient,
have common look and feel, contain streamlined navigation and have a simplified
error handling.
Usability experts state that the “Attractiveness plays only a tiny role from a
usability point of view, the issue is not which colors or button shapes are
used”.
We are able to deliver many aspects of usability engineering service, some of
these are:
- Creation of GUI prototypes and defining the adopted standard.
- Translating both functional and non-functional requirements into UI
specification documents.
- UI Layout.
- Message classification, triggers and contexts.
- Focus defaults, Shortcut keys, etc.
Software development life cycle (SDLC) planning:
Every software development effort goes through a "lifecycle," which consists of all the activities between the time that the software application was an idea in someone’s mind and the time that the last version is installed on the last customer's machine. A lifecycle model is a prescriptive model of what should happen between these two moments.
One of the keys to targeting resources effectively is to apply them within a lifecycle framework that makes sense for your specific project. The main function of a lifecycle model is to establish the order in which a project specifies, prototypes, designs, implements, reviews, tests, and performs its other activities. It establishes the criteria that you use to determine whether to proceed from one task to the next.
Without an overall lifecycle model, you can make decisions that are individually on target but collectively misdirected. A lifecycle model is useful because it describes a basic management plan. For example, if you have a risky project, a risk-oriented lifecycle model will suit you; and if you have vague requirements, an incremental lifecycle model may work best. Lifecycle models make it easy to identify and organize the many activities required by a software project so that you can do them with the utmost efficiency.
Software architecture and design
One of the definitions for Software Architecture is “the long effect decisions”. When you
decide the programming language you are about to use, the deployment model, the
main classes and components in your application, their interfaces and how they
interact, you are making decisions that will affect your application on the long
run, till the end of the application’s development. Changing any of those
decisions in the implementation stage means that a lot of work will be redone.
Software architecture provides the technical structure for a project. Good architecture makes the rest of the project easy. Bad architecture makes the rest of the project almost impossible.
A Software Architecture document describes overall program organization, ways in which the architecture supports likely changes, components that can be reused from other systems or purchased commercially, and design approaches to standard functional areas. It also minimizes potential downstream costs by enumerating how the architecture addresses each system requirement.
The coding stage is the implementation of the architecture. The software architect(s) must regularly supervise the code written by the developers to make sure they adhere to the architecture and that it was clearly understood by the development team.
With specialized experience in web based, desktop and service oriented software applications, we can create, document and supervise the implementation of software architecture for software projects in your organization.
