After successful completion of first two phases most of the initial questions

And changes will be accounted for. Application Design can take place.

Again for consistency with previous and future tasks PanonSoft is using ORACLE Designer tools: Oracle Database Design Transformer, Oracle Application Design Transformer and Oracle Design Editor.

In application Design stages following tasks are mandatory:

• Logical database model as a result of Strategy and Analysys stage
• Fine tuning of business functions which will be used in Build / Test phases
• User Interface such as Screens / Reports

Design stage outcome:

• Clear and concise project documentation which can be used in future system improvements
• modular approach for added system flexibility in case of future changes in business logic or additional services
• Business/Project task definitions
• Project timing with accuracy of (+/-10%)
• Project pricing based on Man Days total project Elapsed Time
• Number of questions towards client’s top management will be reduced to minimum

Conclusion: To make good use of a modular structure, defining interfaces is not enough, the design process needs to be based on a separation of concerns, by grouping functions within modules in such a way that their interdependence is minimised. Such a grouping results in a less complex interface to the module.

The Cost of Making Tender Documentation

There are a number of different approaches to system development; criteria for selecting an approach depend on critical factors such as time constraints, complexity of requirement and/or uncertainty, with consequent likelihood of the need for an incremental approach. With each approach there will be a series of iterative steps in which the requirements specification is translated from information system requirements into IT requirements, tested for its fitness for purpose and usability and ultimately implemented as an operational system. There may be prototypes and/or pilots; development could be in incremental stages or in discrete components as modules regardles of development tools and technologies used: Oracle, SQL, Pl-Sql, PHP, MySql, HTML, SqlServer, ASP, ASP.NET, Linux, MSWindows, Java, Flash, C#, C++, JSP...

Conclusion: The business and developers need to be prepared to adopt a 'build and learn' approach which may involve both incremental development of designed modules, and incremental delivery. In such instances, management need to carefully plan their communications and release strategy in order to gain the necessary feedback from trials in a controlled and managed environment.

The right hand side of the V diagram above represents the phases of testing the developed system against the different levels of specification, working from the lowest level back to the top. The final step is for the complete system to be tested against the problem statement to ensure that it meets the business requirements

Conclusion: This is the stage of system development that consists of a series of tests designed to demonstrate to the user that all the specified requirements have been satisfied. The purpose of end-user acceptance testing is to confirm that the system is ready for operational use.

In practice, requirements specification may evolve during the process of system development. Some requirements in the original specification may not have been implemented because of cost or time constraints, or because a more efficient solution has been achieved. Refinements to the requirements may have been identified that do not fundamentally alter the scope of the system.

Acceptance tests usually investigate correct function in handling data, resilience of the system to incorrect input, performance, quality attributes such as usability and documentation. We also build in procedures for dealing with changes during the operational life of the system, to address any residual faults and the need for improvements over time.

In the release phase, the system and all associated products are transferred to the client or user. Activities include installation and configuration of the system in the operational environment, installation testing and qualification, training of the users of the system, and formal acceptance testing by the users.

Software maintenance begins as soon as a system has been released to users for the first time in the case of incremental, evolutionary, or spiral developments. It then encompasses modifications to subsequent releases of the system.

At the time of software maintenance, a set of system components are in place, the system has been tested and accepted for operational use, operators have been trained, and logistics support has been arranged. Data accumulates in system databases as a result of operational use. PanonSoft support team adopts a unique global delivery model for support, which takes advantage of the time zone differential to enhance the existing system without affecting any downtime in the operation.

When a system completes its term of usefulness, it is decommissioned. The system is removed from the operational environments, and system work products and data are archived in the appropriate manner.
