Phase III – Deployment Phase
|
|
Beta Implementation - Once the development phase
of project is completed and Xpert QA team completes
alpha testing, the project is deployed at the client
site for Beta implementation. Project is monitored
by Xpert personnel during the beta period till the
completion of acceptance testing. Xpert deputes
one of the onsite consultant at the client’s
site, if the project is big and implementation spans
for over a week.
|
|
| Acceptance
Testing - This is the beta testing phase
where client is first trained on the project by Xpert
consultant and client then tests the delivered project
from their requirement perspective. Any incident (bugs/issues)
encountered or any deviation from client’s requirement
is fixed free of cost at Xpert expenses. |
Xpert believes the Acceptance testing is completed
once client goes live on the project, this can be
one month, two months or more duration and Xpert
supports client free of cost until then.
|
Phase IV – Search Optimization and placement
|
This is the phase where search optimization and
placement process is implemented using Xpert unique
process, if client has signed for these services.
|
Phase V – Site Maintenance
|
The site maintenance process is implemented once
client goes live on the project and any bugs reported,
whatsoever, are fixed as per the maintenance contract.
|
Any additional feature or customization to the
product is done at the client’s expenses using
the processes as mentioned from Phase I onward above.
|
Client Interaction – This is a new approach
to software development and extremely suited to
offshore development and outsourcing services. When
you outsource your requirement of web solutions
to us, we are sensitive to the fact that you require
high visibility of the PIP (Project in progress)
. This is the reason why we have adapted this methodology
to our web development process. At each stage along
the development, the website/web application evolves
before your own eyes. Here are the broad milestones
in this process:
|
|
Prototype:
The first and crucial phase. The prototype shows
you the shape of things to come. This is much
more than just a visual representation. It represents
all the screen elements in the final solution.
This is the mould into which we start to breathe
the breath of life! Feedback from the client
is taken and required modifications are incorporated. |
|
Functional
Specifications Document: Before starting
to actually develop the functionalities, we
document all the functional specifications.
The client reviews it and gives feedback again
and with this, the requirements specifications
are fully captured. |
|
The
Proof of concept: The prototype evolves
to its more complex level of existence. Many
parts of the prototype spring to life. We have
this intermediate delivery before the final
delivery to establish the proof of concept.
The client can now almost feel the solution
that he/she had entrusted us to develop. What
remains now is just formality. Our production
engine hauls the project to completion. |
|
Final
Delivery: The final product is delivered
after testing. There are no surprises, and no
tense expectations on the date of delivery.
For, you had seen it evolve. |
