Our Methodology

Today's software products are complex and constantly evolving throughout the entire product cycle.
That makes it harder than ever to keep everyone on the same page.

Software engineering is the practice of using selected process techniques to improve the quality of a
software development effort. This is based on the assumption, subject to endless debate and
supported by patient experience, that a methodical approach to software development results in
fewer defects and, therefore, ultimately provides shorter delivery times and better value.

Why are fast and easy templates for use cases, test plans, and other software engineering
documents needed now more than ever? Because schedules are shorter and teamwork is more
critical.

XYON methods reduce overhead, but increase risk by removing process steps that are key to
managing larger projects.

The solution is not to abandon time-tested processes and documents. The solution is to make the
creation and maintenance of software engineering documents dramatically faster and more effective.

Most XYON methods attempt to minimize risk by developing software in short time boxes, called
iterations, which typically last one to four weeks. Each iteration is like a miniature software project of
its own, and includes all of the tasks necessary to release the mini-increment of new functionality:
planning, requirements analysis, design, coding, testing, and documentation. While an iteration may
not add enough functionality to warrant releasing the product, an XYON software project intends to be
capable of releasing new software at the end of every iteration. At the end of each iteration, the team
revaluates project priorities.

XYON methods emphasize real-time communication, preferably face-to-face, over written documents.
Most agile teams are located in a bullpen and include all the people necessary to finish software. At a
minimum, this includes programmers and their "customers." (Customers are the people who define
the product. They may be product managers, business analysts, or actual customers.) The bullpen
may also include testers, interaction designers, technical writers, and managers.

XYON methods also emphasize working software as the primary measure of progress. Combined
with the preference for face-to-face communication, agile methods produce very little written
documentation relative to other methods.

The project, on the whole, will outline and follow a "Unified Process compliant methodology". The
finalization of the initial detailed design will be preceded by the presentation of a prototype system in
order to facilitate the client in evaluating the design before a final design is submitted in view of users'
requirements. The project will proceed through the following stages:

Project Initiation Phase

The project will start after initial meetings with the client/users. It is important to have a clearly
defined project scope, constraints, available resources, and users' skills level before embarking on
project work planning or devising implementation strategies.

In consultation with the ministry of textile development officials, an overall Project Plan shall be
developed which will include the following contents:

- Detailed Project Schedule

- Outline of Analysis Design and Development Methodology
- Implementation Plan and Schedule

Requirements Engineering Phase

During this phase, a complete review of the existing systems, existing data management process,
meetings / Interviews with officials, will be completed.

This review shall be followed by extensive consultation with the ministry of textile development
officials to obtain requirements for a new solution. The findings of review and consultation will help
produce a final version of Software Requirements Specifications (SRS) for the deliverable system.
This document will include both the systems functionality as well as the constraints under which it will
operate.

The choice of development platform and selection of RDBMS largely depends on the expected size of
the database, projected annual growth, and frequency of updates. It is, for this reason, important to
capture not only present requirements, but also assess possible future directions the system
development may take.

Design Phase

After the Requirements Definition Report has been People make the difference,
they make good systems fail,
approved, the Final Detailed Design will be and they make bad systems
work! It is for this reason,
important, to involve them
early during design phase.
submitted for approval. Once it has been approved the system will be developed accordingly. In
case the client requests design/scope changes after the approval of the Final Detailed Design, the
change request will be communicated to us in writing.

Scope-creeping and the resulting delays in design acceptance is one major risk in such projects.
More proactive strategies will need to be employed to avoid such

pitfalls and ensure a smooth software evolution throughout the project stages.

We believe the quality of design is a function of not only good requirement definition but also
adherence to certain standards. The standards, such as usability of interface, low response time,
robustness, scalability, database integrity, and data security requirements are often not stated
explicitly by the client/user. However, this responsibility rests with the developer to ensure that the
system meets these quality criteria.

The initial design considerations:

- User consultation and building upon earlier work
- Selection of right development platform
Development Phase

The development of the system will be carried out in accordance with the approved Final Detailed
Design. Appropriate components and integration testing will be carried out at this stage. After
internal testing is completed we shall arrange and supervise end user testing of the system.

For the back-end database, we propose any of the three leading RDBMS platforms:
- Microsoft SQL Server 2005
- MySQL Server 5.0
For the front-end software application development we offer a wider range of development tools
including:
- PHP 5
- ASP.NET 3.5

It is often said that software errors follow 80-20 rule. That is 80% of all errors can be traced to 20%
problems. We believe most of the errors in database software result directly from the poor database
design. To keep these errors from arising, we employ ERD technique for designing high-level
database structure that is independent of implementation details and can be "tested" before
deployment.

Implementation Phase
The implementation phase will start with the training of users followed by installation and
commissioning of the software at central and provincial offices.
The first successful round of information processing cycle is crucial to the success of system
implementation. Users will require good support in the beginning to complete their first cycle of data
entry, report generation, data retrieval, and data transmission to higher levels.

Trial Phase

The commissioning of the system will mark the beginning of a 1-month trial period in which the
system will be field tested by the users. Final acceptance will be accorded after the end of this trial
period. Any problems/anomalies discovered during this periods and falling within the scope of the
requirements analysis and/or detailed design will be rectified accordingly.

The trial period will require formal arrangements to capture users' feedback and respond to their day
to day problems. Standard feedback forms and a help-desk would be the right answer to such needs.
Our Portfolio
Our Portfolio
