BEST PRACTICES

NetworkElites utilizes industry best-practices in order to develop quality custom applications for your business. The foundation for a project, like a building, is laid out at the beginning. The goal at this time is to develop a framework from which the resulting application will be built:

CUSTOMIZED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

For smaller projects the traditional Waterfall Methodology works very well. Planning and requirements gathering are done during this phase, then the designing phase, and then the implementation phase to follow, with testing carryed out during the whole process. All the phases have definite starts and ends. The start of a new phase is based upon criteria set by management. This framework is called the Waterfall Model because each phase flows naturally into the next.

SOFTWARE LIFECYCLE

For larger projects other techniques may be employed. Iterative and Incremental Development is a product development and management methodology that permits iterative project development and cyclic progress assessment. The whole project cycle is sub divided into vertical segments, called 'slices' and each slice calls for a deliverable. Each slice is developed individually using the 'waterfall model'. Developers will analyze, design, code and test in a rigid loop.

AGILE DESIGN METHODOLOGY

In extremely time sensitive situations, the agile design methodology can also be used, which focus on breaking tasks into small iterations, generally only lasting a few feeks with less planning. Communication with the client is done constantly either directly or through representatives through out the entire process to ensure that the problem meant to be addressed by the software, in fact, is.
