|
·
|
Executing: KOSTYA will provide deliverables and perform all services outlined in the project plan for BMedCAREERS Group.
|
|
·
|
Monitoring and Control: For the duration of the project, KOSTYA will provide MedCAREERS Group with project status updates and progress reports. Issue and Change logs will be maintained by KOSTYA. Project Manager will be the principal contact point for communication regarding the project.
|
3. Software Lifecycle
KOSTYA has developed a strong approach to successful implementation of software development project. This proven method will provide the framework for this project.
|
·
|
Requirements: Requirements sessions consist of interviews between MedCAREERS Group and members of our team. These interviews help MedCAREERS Group refine their understanding of system requirements and identify any gaps in the existing documentation. This is a critical phrase that will be a foundation for the rest of the process.
|
|
·
|
Design: We begin designing a system from high level module breakdown to detailed design. The elements of design include user interface abstractions, navigation methods, information architecture. Detailed design includes software architecture: technology selection, database modeling, system interface design. Detailed design refines the logic driving the system to the point where it can be unambiguously and efficiently realized in an application.
|
|
·
|
Development: KOSTYA employs an agile development process. MedCAREERS Group is allowed input and can provide feedback throughout this process. This ensures that clients receive a solution that fits their requirements.
|
|
·
|
Quality Assurance: KOSTYA enforces strict quality control to ensure that the website emerges from the development process is error-free, reliable and meets MedCAREERS Group objectives. To facilitate high standards of quality, KOSTYA creates a set of test cases that will be checked after design phase is completed, or before a new release is deployed.
|
|
·
|
Deployment: KOSTYA will configure and deploy the application for MedCAREERS Group on a production server. We install the completed application and perform functional and performance testing to ensure it is stable at the expected operating conditions.
|
|
·
|
Maintenance: Our commitment to successful development does not end after the application is launched. KOSTYA offers services to support and continue to improve the application on an ongoing basis.
