Software Development Process

We start the development of any project by analyzing the common requirements for the program, the conditions and the environment, which the program will be used in. After these, we prepare the project budget. Then, we develop the specifications of the program and description of its functionality. At the end of this stage, the customer will be provided with a schedule of program versions.

Based on the created program specifications, our business analyst and architectural specialist complete the technical requirements for the program to the client for confirmation. It is an iterative process, where the parties work together to agree on all points.

The next step is preparation of the program's prototype and interface development. At this stage, all details will discuss with the client. At the same time, we develop a test plan (and efficient test cases) for the future program.

As soon as agreement will be reached, we begin the implementation of the program source code.

During the development cycle, the constant testing of separate component parts of the program is carried on. After the development cycle will be completed and the program will be installed, Desta will provide free product support for one full year, in order to eliminate any problems and ensure that the product is stable in work. When the free support is terminated, technical support can be provided under the additional agreement between parties.

The proper documentation and preparation of the user's manual is a standard part of our project development.
