However, excellence in graphic design is a prerequisite, but the overwhelming priority is not design, not technology, not flashy graphics.The most important aspect of website development is the contribution the site makes to the overall strategy of the business. In order to ensure that every website creates the highest level of value for its The development lifecycle for a website project is divided into following phases. Phase I - Definition phase | |||||||||
| i) | E-SoftStudio gets an email
enquiry from a prospective client or client calls up our office
& explains high level requirement followed by
an email with the requirement | ||||||||
| ii) | E-SoftStudio examines the request. Some of the questions are emailed back to the customers to understand the requirement better. | ||||||||
| ii) | At this stage E-SoftStudio sends
NDA (Non disclosure Agreement), if required. | ||||||||
| iv) | If required, E-SoftStudio sends a
website questionnaire document to prospective clients to understand
client's requirement in a better way. | ||||||||
| v) | The request is re-examined for any
further details at this stage. If not, then a rough estimate of the
time and costs involved in the project is made. | ||||||||
| vi) | Based on the above high level
requirement analysis, Project proposal and initial Project estimates
are prepared and sent to the client. All the time and cost spent by
E-SoftStudio up to this stage are free and are not billed to
client. | ||||||||
| vii) | If client approves the project, a
contract is signed between E-SoftStudio's corporate E-SoftSys and the prospective client. | ||||||||
| viii) | Project schedule is prepared by the E-SoftStudio based on the client's requirement and is sent to the client. | ||||||||

Phase
II - Design and Development Software Requirement Analysis - This is the detailed requirement analysis phase and every requirement from client side is analyzed carefully. All the doubts are cleared through emails and if required, online conferencing with client is arranged. For a large project such as an
E-Commerce application, one of the consultants from Design - The next step is to design the project based on UML notations following the RDD. This phase involves preparing use case documents required by the development team for coding purposes. The end result of this phase is the design specification document (DSD) and use case documents. Coding - The requirements are coded with the design specification as a reference as per the standards defined in the Quality Management System. Unit Testing and Integration Testing - Unit testing is carried out by testing an individual unit of software (e.g., Java class), typically by its developer or a peer QA analyst. In Integration testing ,
software components, hardware components, or both are combined
We also carry out Performance and security testing of a web project based on the requirements. | |||||||||

Phase III - Deployment Phase Beta Implementation Once the development phase of project is completed and E-SoftStudio QA team completes alpha testing, the project is deployed at the client site for Beta implementation. Project is monitored by E-SoftStudio personnel during the beta period till the completion of acceptance testing. E-SoftStudio 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 E-SoftStudio 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 E-SoftStudio expenses. E-SoftStudio believes the Acceptance testing is completed once client goes live on the project, this can be one month, two months or more duration and E-SoftStudio 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 | |||||||||

|
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: | |||||||||
|
i). |
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. | ||||||||
|
ii). |
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. | ||||||||
|
iii). |
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. | ||||||||
|
iv). |
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!. | ||||||||
