Voland International product management and software development processes meet ISO-9001:2000 standard. We use up-to-date software development tools, the latest project management techniques and software engineering practices, thus meeting the many IT challenges of our customers.
With numerous years of software development practice, Voland International has created a matured process management methodology, whose core idea is CMM (Capability Maturity Model). To ensure the quality at all stages of development, we adopt CMM as follows:
PROJECT STARTUP
In Voland International, a project is initiated when the contract is signed by the customer. From this point, the responsibility of the project will be taken fully by the assigned project manager, who normally was the one that prepared the proposal for this particular customer in the earlier stage. The beginning of a project lays the groundwork for the rest of the project. The purpose of this phase is to set the framework for the project, which involves:
- Selecting a methodology
- Identifying goals and objectives
- Defining success measures
- Establishing project scope
- Selecting a project team
- Securing sponsorship
BUSINESS PROTOTYPE & REQUIREMENT
One of the less visible, but nonetheless important aspects of a good software engineering process is the requirement documentation and verification. The only way to ensure that a system satisfies its requirements is to develop and apply a mechanism to track requirement compliance from system inception through to final delivery and system maintenance.
The key points in the requirement phase are:
- Communicate with customer
- Clarify the requirement further
- Requirement change management
ANALYSIS & DESIGN
The primary output of the design phase is a design document. The design document is to give all internal constituents (developers and management) a clear delineation of how the features described in the specifications will accomplish the desired tasks. The design document should clearly convey the key elements of the proposed system to both the technical developers and the planners. A larger project typically requires a preliminary design and a detailed design. A complete design includes identification of:
- Modules
- Units
- Data elements
- Communications
- Messages
- Data structure
IMPLEMENTATION, TESTING AND PROJECT COMPLETION
Implementation is to use the design document to produce code. It is a core process workflow in the software-engineering process, whose purpose is to implement and unit test of the code.
During this phase, the actual work of the project is undertaken to produce the project’s deliverables according to the chosen solution and make it ready for the testing team.
Our in-depth knowledge and extensive acceptance of industry leading quality practices based on ISO standards, CMM Models and Prince 2 techniques, allows us to deliver extraordinary quality and service with utmost cost efficiency.
