Development Approach

At Sharma Infoway, the project development methodology and approach followed depends
on various factors. We follow traditional waterfall model, prototyping model or iterative RUP
methodologies, depending on the project type.

We have a set of well-defined software engineering processes for software development life
cycle. Each of these processes, ranging from requirements to release, is based on industry-
standard software development practices. Our processes have evolved over a period of
time, to incorporate best practices in requirements management, project management and
oversight, design methods and testing methodologies and tools.

We are equipped with a comprehensive Quality Management System comprising of
Organizational Standard Software Development Processes, Departmental processes like HR
and Information Systems, Artifacts for each process (process assets) and its related
reference documents like Organizational coding guidelines, Review Guidelines etc.

After analyzing the client’s requirements in detail and based on the interactions with their
Project Team, we work with the most appropriate methodology suited to specific customer
needs.

We suggest an Iterative Prototyping approach according to Rational Unified Process,
specifically for this project. The approach will be to divide the entire project into a number of
process iterations, each one having its own set of requirements, design, development,
testing and implementation phases.

A behavioral prototype will enable OUR COMPANY to build a product model by showing
something concrete and executable to users, customers, managers and stakeholders.

We follow stringent communication techniques for projects in our offshore model. We have
state-of-the-art communication infrastructure facilities where we communicate with our client
on a daily basis for requirements, project status updates, and other project-specific details.

The project will also have a dedicated QA Engineer who will be primarily responsible for
ensuring quality of all the outputs and work products.

Specifically for this project, since the timeline of the project is short, we propose to follow the
development approach as described below.

Customer Requirements

Requirements will be gathered using industry-standard practices and reviewed both
internally by peers and externally by clients, and findings of reviews shall be tracked
to closure. Once these requirements are frozen, the development work begins.

All the requirements will be numbered at the onset so that they are tagged for
identification and accurately documented in the design document. Each requirement
is assigned a Requirements ID, which is further used to track the requirement from
definition, design, implementation and testing phases. This also helps to easily track
and verify that all the requirements are catered to.

Project Management

Our Project Management processes are based on the knowledge areas of PMBOK ®
(Project Management Body of Knowledge). A project kick-off meeting marks the
beginning of the project. A comprehensive Project plan will be prepared, which outlines
all the critical aspects related to the smooth project execution. These include:

• General Planning and Milestones

• Scope Management

• Team formation and Engagement

• Integration Planning

• Communication Planning

• Quality Management

• Risk Management and Mitigation

• Procurements Management

• Tracking and Control Mechanisms

• Detailed Schedule (We must use MS PROJECT as our primary scheduling tool)

Process tailoring also forms an important part of this phase. One process does not fit all,
hence adjustments may be required. PM and SQA refer to organizational process tailoring
guidelines and tailor the process. SQA ensures that processes are tailored appropriately to
meet the needs of the project based on the type and size. Tailored process is documented in
the Project Plan.

Detailed Design

Detail Design shall define and map the entire system in details, as well as the
functional process flow.

The content of the design document will contain the following main items

• Block Diagram

• Overall System Architecture

• Class Diagram

• Screen Shots and field validations

• Flow diagram/Sequence diagram

• Database diagram

• Deployment View

For overall functionality, we use Microsoft Visio for architecture and database design.
Before the design is finally approved, it is exhaustively reviewed by Technical Leads
and System Architects. Design specific errors are identified and resolved. The
detailed design can also be given to the customer for review, if required

Development

Here, actual coding activities are done according to the organizational coding
guidelines for different technologies. Internal and inline commenting is done along
with the coding activity. Completion of each module results in preparation of test
cases and unit level testing. Code reviews are also done to ensure that the
developed code adheres to the organizational guidelines for coding.

Code Reviews are done upon completion of each software unit. This ensures that
coding is done according to laid out guidelines and that code is readable, clean and
maintainable.

Testing

There are various levels of testing that have been defined and followed at OUR
COMPANY.:

• Unit Testing

• Functional testing

• Integrated Testing

• System testing

• Acceptance Testing

Test Planning is done at the onset of the project in the project planning phase. The
Test plan outlines the types of test to be performed, resources, tools and
responsibilities for test related activities.

For unit testing, the developers are made responsible for the quality of the module
they are developing. At different levels and for different kind of projects, we use unit-
testing tools like NUnit for .NET framework and JUnit for Java based applications.

For functional testing, test cases are generated and filled with data and supplied to
the QA team.

During the integrated testing the entire application is deployed on the testing
infrastructure and then various aspects of the application such as the platform
support, browser support etc. are considered. Here some automated tools and stress
testing tools are also used.

The final User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is also a very important procedure, which is
done in phases by the client, before accepting the complete delivery of the
application.

Processes for projects are continuously verified and monitored by the SQA and SEPG
(Software Engineering Process Group) teams to ensure that the defined processes are
followed to streamline the development and enhance the effectiveness.

Q.A Process
We have defined our Q.A process as per the ISO and CMM standards.
Goals
The primary purpose of the testing effort is to uncover the systems limitations and measure
its full capabilities.

Strategy
The test strategy consists of a series of different tests that will fully exercise the system.
If any defects are found which seriously impact the test progress, the QA manager may
choose to suspend testing.
Criteria that will justify test suspension are:
Hardware/software is not available at the times indicated in the project schedule.
Source code contains one or more critical defects, which seriously prevents or limits
testing progress.
Assigned test resources are not available when needed by the test team.

If testing is suspended, resumption will only occur when the problem(s) that caused the
suspension has been resolved. When a critical defect is the cause of the suspension, the
“FIX” must be verified by the test department before testing is resumed.

A list of the various planned tests and a brief explanation follows below.

Standards Test

The Standards testing will focus on checking whether the system meets the
standards defined in the QA Standards document.

Functional Test
The functional tests will focus on the behavior of the system. Overall, the
functional tests will test the integrated system and verify that it meets the
requirements defined in the requirements document.

Security Test
Security tests will determine how secure the system is. The tests will verify that
unauthorized user access to data is prevented.

Contingency Test
Contingency tests will determine whether fail-over procedures integrated in the
system works properly.

Stress and Load Test
Load tests will subject the system to high volume of data. The System will be
stress tested using twice the number of expected users.

Recovery Test
Recovery tests will force the system to fail in a various ways and verify the
recovery is properly performed. It is vitally important that all data is recovered
after a system failure & no corruption of the data occurred.

Compatibility Test
Compatibility tests will be carried out to verify that the system is compatible with
various versions of Windows operating system.

Deployment Test
The deployment test will be carried out to verify that the application can be
deployed under different software & hardware configurations.

Beta Test
The municipalities will beta tests the system and will report any defects they find.
This will subject the system to tests that could not be performed in our test
environment.

User Acceptance Test
Once the system is ready for implementation, the municipalities will perform
User Acceptance Testing. The purpose of these tests is to confirm that the
system is developed according to the specified user requirements and is ready
for operational use.

Constraints, Risks, Assumptions
The test plan and test schedule are based on the current Requirements Document. Any
changes to the requirements could affect the test schedule and will need to be approved.

Key Success Factors
1. Effectiveness: All requirements as mentioned in Detailing Document should be
covered in the testing activity.
2. Efficiency: Various types of testing should be completed of as per test schedule.
