Product Development Process

The most desirable products and services are born from good product development processes. Microsoft, Apple, Boeing, and other successful companies each have adapted a development process suited to their specific business and product needs that optimizes product quality with business profit. Even though these companies are very sophisticated and operate in developed industries, all product development even for simple products in emerging markets should follow a similar approach.


Step1. Conceptualization
The design step starts with conceiving new products or services you want to make reality. The conception and vetting process that leads to new or improved products and services is informed in a number of ways, most typically through feedback from customers and sales channels, market research activities, product failures and warranties, direct observation of needs or product gaps, user-centered studies, and inspiration, among other things.

Step2. Product/Service
Product/service defines project goals and general characteristics of a product(s) or service(s) based on market, customer, and user needs. And also define characteristics that inform what the product or service will look like, how it will function, and how much it will cost.

Step3. Product concept feasibility
The product concept feasibility begins to develop a concrete picture of what the new product or service will look like. Conduct active research, assessments, and initial development and prototyping of the concept design to test feasibility against any criteria identified as important. This is where the practice of user-centered design (UCD) can be very effective. UCD is an approach in which the needs, wants, and limitations of end users of a product are given extensive attention at each stage of the design process. This approach is valuable because it requires designers to consider the product from the user’s perspective, including building prototypes and putting different variations in the hands of potential users to see how they respond to inform decision-marking around what works and what does not work in the proposed product.

Step4. Design and development, design verification
It is important to align the product design to the manufacturing process, referred to as design for manufacturing. When designing the product you have to also consider, in addition to cost factors, how you are going to make it so that you are careful not to design a product that cannot be manufactured with the tools and resources that you have available. In the developing world, this can often be the case, as you may find that the ideal product design cannot be made locally due to a shortage of raw materials, manufacturing capability, or staff expertise.

Mobile Application Development Process

Whether you’re building a consumer application or an enterprise mobile app, the process is pretty similar. This post outlines the steps we generally take when mapping out a mobile solution. Depending on the project or client, we may step in at the very beginning to help gather requirements or step in when they’re ready for development and testing. Either way, follow this process or you will save a lot of time and money by clarifying details and identifying issues early on.
Step 1: Identify the Need
Also known as Requirements Gathering, this step sets the stage for development. During this stage it’s crucial to get all the stakeholders together to brainstorm the solution and finalize a feature set and roadmap. As listed below, the deliverables from this step will clarify exactly what the application will do, who will use it, how it will perform, what devices it’ll work on, and most importantly… what it won’t do.
It’s good practice to start building a roadmap during this stage. A lot of good ideas will come out of the brainstorming sessions so it’s good to capture them all and place them on a roadmap. Lately projects are generally built with an agile mentality where it’s important to get the first version in the hands of users ASAP. To reach this point, it’s important to lock down the scope of the minimum viable product (MVP) and work towards that.
The key deliverables from this step include:
            1. Functional and Non-Functional Requirements
            2. Use Cases
            3.API Specification
            4. Architecture and Design
Step 2: Create Mockups and/or Prototypes
Step 2 is where you start to take the ideas from Step 1 and put them into a semi-functional prototype. This step can be done concurrently with Step 1 as it’ll bring clarity to the use cases and requirements.
We often use a tool called Balsamiq which is great for wire framing. Getting a mockup or prototype that you can click through helps clarify a lot of details. Once you have this kind of mockup, you start to identify issues with workflows, use cases, and especially user-experience.
Once the wire frame is complete, share it with the stakeholders and end users. Get feedback from people that haven’t seen the app before and quietly watch them click through the screens. This early user testing will uncover little issues that could cause major headaches down the road.
The key deliverables from this step include:
              1. Wireframes/Mockups/Prototype
Step 3: Finalize the Design and Create a Test Plan
Once the wire frames have been finalized, this is when you can get a UI designer involved to create the actual graphics. With the complete wire frames and an understanding of the application’s flow, the UI designer can focus on improving the user-experience and creating a polished UI. At this step most of the functional questions have been answered so there doesn’t have to be too much iteration in design – at least not many related to scope changes.
Meanwhile, this is a good time to get started on the Test Plan which will consist of Test Cases and execution planning. At Optimus we work within the agile methodology so we get our testers and developers to work closely throughout the development process. This planning stage helps us prepare for that.
The key deliverables from this step include:
1. UI Design
2. Test Plan
Step 4: Development and Testing
Now the fun begins with development and testing. Since the application has already been thoroughly vetted, documented, and designed, the developers get to focus their efforts on putting the pieces together. This is a bad time to be asking questions about functionality and scope as the developers and stakeholders should already have a very solid grasp of the requirements.
By getting a business analyst and the key stakeholders together for the first few steps, the development team can quickly get up to speed by reviewing the deliverables and being shown the mockups.
Inevitably some new questions will be raised, but have no fear because that early effort helped clarify the majority of smaller issues. Also it should be noted that developers and testers are considered part of the ‘stakeholders’ group and should participate in the early planning stages. Their input will be invaluable as they offer input on technical limitations and opportunities.
The key deliverables from this step include:
             1. Application code
             2. Test Results
Step 5: User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
Prior to releasing the application into the wild, it’s best to release an alpha or beta to a select group of end users. These users can start to use the app in their daily routines and identify any issues. This helps improve the quality of the application before launching it to a large user group.
It’s best to get a diverse group of users for UAT – especially a mix of devices, expertise, and some users that have never seen the app before.
The key deliverables from this step include:
             1. Documented and undocumented feedback from users
             2. A more functional application
Step 6: Deployment and Support
After UAT, it’s time to deploy the application to the App Store, publish it online (in case of a web-app), or publish to an enterprise App Portal (in case of a private app). Depending on the platform there may be some lag associated with this deployment, but you should keep some resources handy in order to quickly turn around any new issues that pop up. An increased user base will have a wider variety of devices and could lead to other complications.
The key deliverables from this step include:
              1. Deployment and Support Documentation
              2. Finalized copies of the previous deliverables

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGIES




Methodology – it’s a system of principles, as well as a set of ideas, concepts, methods, techniques and tools that define the style of software development.
Methodology is an implementation of the standard. Standards are only having some of the rules and leaving freedom of choice and adaptation.
Specific things implemented through the selected methodology. It determines how you will develop future applications. There are many successful software development methodologies. The choice of the methodology depends on team size, the specifics and project difficulty, stability and maturity of the processes in the company and personal qualities of employees.
Methodology is a core management theory of software development. To the existing classifications was added a general type of predictable and adaptive methodology, depending on the life cycle models (waterfall and iterative methodologies).
Projected methodology focused on the detailed planning for the future. There are scheduled tasks and resources for the entire project duration. The team barely reacts to possible changes. The plan is optimized based on work structure and existing requirements. Change of requirements can lead to substantial amendment of plans and project design.
Adaptive methodology aimed at overcoming the expected incomplete requirements and its constant changes. When the requirements change, the development team is also changing. Participating team can hardly predict the future of the project. There is a detailed plan only for the near future. More distant in time plans only exist as a declaration of project objectives, expected costs and benefits.
SCRUM – a methodology for small teams (up to 10 people). The whole project is divided into iterations (sprints) of 30 days duration. System functions are selected to be implemented in the next sprint. The most important requirement - immutability of the selected functions during the fulfillment of a single iteration and strict observance of deadlines for the next release, even if this product wouldn’t have all planned functionality. In order to determine the function of the system implemented by the previous day, the encountered difficulties and the next day plan Development Manager conducts daily 20 minute meetings that are called “Scrum”. Such meetings can constantly monitor the project progress to quickly identify problems and respond to them promptly.

SOFTWARE TESTING PROCESS

Software Testing: Testing is a process used to help identify the correctness, completeness and quality of developed computer software. Testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding an error.

Type of Testing: There are different type of testing is given-
1.       Static Testing
2.       Dynamic Testing
3.       White Box Testing
4.       Black Box Testing
5.       Unit Testing
6.       Integration Testing
7.       System Testing
8.       Acceptance Testing
9.       Load Testing
10.    Alpha Testing
11.    Beta Testing
1. Static Testing: Static testing is a form of software testing where the software isn’t actually used. This type of testing can be used by the developer who wrote the code in isolation. Code reviews inspections and walk through are also used.
2. Dynamic Testing: Dynamic testing analyzes the software program in different operating environments. This includes different brands of computers and other hardware differences, possibly including multiple monitors, different operating systems, and different sets of software applications coexisting on the machine.
3. White Box Testing: White box testing strategy deals with the internal logic and structure of the code. It is also called as structural or open box testing. White box testing requires access to the source code. White box testing can be performed any time in the life cycle after the code is developed.
4. Black Box Testing: Black box testing is a method of software testing that tests the functionality of an application as opposed to its internal structures .It is also called as functional testing.
5. Unit Testing: Unit testing is a software development process in which the smallest testable parts of an application, called units, are individually and independently scrutinized for proper operation. Unit testing is often automated but it can also be done manually.
6. Integration Testing: Integration testing is the process of verifying the synchronization between two or more software system and which can be performed after software system collaboration is completed.
7. System Testing: System testing is a black box testing, performs by the test team, and at start of the system testing the complete system is configured in a controlled environment. The purpose of system testing is validating an application’s accuracy and completeness in performing the functions as designed.
8. Acceptance Testing: Acceptance testing is a final stage of testing that is performed on a system prior to the system being delivered to a live environment.
Acceptance tests are generally performed as “black box” tests.
9. Load Testing: Load Tests are end to end performance tests under anticipated production load. Load testing is performed to determine a system’s behavior under both normal and anticipated peak load conditions. It helps to identify the maximum operating capacity of an application as well as any bottlenecks and determine which element is causing degradation.
10. Alpha Testing: Alpha testing is done before the software is made available to the general public. The developers will perform the Alpha testing using white box testing techniques. In alpha testing client test the software at development site.

11. Beta Testing: A beta tester is someone who tests a product before it is released. Product testers help companies identify weak points in their products which could cause consumer frustration, and they also identify specific issues which need to be corrected before a product can be released.

PHASES OF WESITE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
There are numerous steps in the web site design and development process. From gathering initial information, to the creation of your web site, and finally to maintenance to keep your web site up to date and current.
Phase 1: Information Gathering
The first step in designing a successful web site is to gather information. Many things need to be taken into consideration when we design the look and feel of your site, so we first ask a lot of questions to help us understand your business and your needs in a web site.
Phase 2: Planning
Using the information gathered from phase one, we put together a plan for your web site. Here we develop a site map – a list of all main topic areas of the site, as well as sub-topics (if applicable). This gives us a guide as to what content will be on the site, and is essential to developing a consistent, easy to understand navigational system. This is also the point where we decide what technologies should be implemented – interactive forms, CMS (content management system) such as Word Press, etc.
Phase 3: Design
Drawing from the information gathered up to this point, we determine the look and feel of the site. Target audience is one of the key factors taken into consideration here. A site aimed at teenagers, for example, will look much different than one meant for a financial institution. We also incorporate elements such as the company logo or colors to help strengthen the identity of your company on the web site.
Once we’ve designed a prototype, you are given access to the Client Studio, which is a secure area of our web site. The Client Studio allows you to view your project throughout the design and development stages. Most importantly, it gives you the opportunity to express your likes and dislikes on the site design.
In this phase, communication is crucial to ensure that the final web site will match your needs and taste. We work together in this way, exchanging ideas, until we arrive at the final design for the site. Then development can begin…
Phase 4: Development
This is where the web site itself is created. We take all of the individual graphic elements from the prototype and use them to create the functional web site. We also take your content and distribute it throughout the site, in the appropriate areas.
This entire time, you will continue to be able to view your site in the Client Studio, and suggest any additional changes or corrections you would like to have done.
Phase 5: Testing and Delivery


At this point, we attend to the final details and test your web site. We test things such as the complete functionality of forms or other scripts, we test for last minute compatibility issues (viewing differences between different web browsers), ensuring that the site is optimized to be viewed properly in the most recent browser versions.
Once we receive your final approval, it is time to deliver the site. We upload the files to your server – in most cases, this also involves installing and configuring WordPress, along with a core set of essential plugins to help enhance the site. Here we quickly test again to make sure that all files have been uploaded correctly, and that the site continues to be fully functional. This marks the official launch of your site, as it is now viewable to the public.


Phase 6: Maintenance
The development of your web site is not necessarily over, though. One way to bring repeat visitors to your site is to offer new content or products on a regular basis. If this interests you, we will be more than happy to continue working together with you to update the information on your web site. We offer maintenance packages at reduced rates, based on how often you anticipate making changes or additions to your site.

MOBILE APPLICATION LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENT
Mobile Application Life Cycle Management has an aim to deliver the end product with higher quality. Hence, it has to repeat the steps in this process in a controlled manner. Definition, Planning, Designing, Development, Testing, Deployment and Management are the steps in Mobile Application Life cycle Management.

1. Planning and Designing: In order to take future decisions, it is important to consider the present and future uses of the applications. Due to the large market of devices and hardware and software solutions, the decision making process becomes more difficult. It is also necessary to look into frequent changes and in the applications so as to make sure its quick deployment. To enhance the user experience, offline functionality must be given consideration.
2. Development & Testing: The important aspects of development stage are device detection, limited bandwidth and memory management. Offline data should be available and it should be updated.
The next challenging task is to test the mobile applications. It involves huge amount of expenses. It is necessary to test the applications in various situations at different bandwidths. Pre-flight test, Beta testing, Scalability test, device test, automated unit test, etc. are different tests undertaken for various reasons.
3. Deployment: Deployment of applications is an easier task as they are delivered to the application stores. In-house applications are available in separate application stores. If the company applications are to be given to customers or distributors, it is even more difficult.
4. Updating: Dynamic updating of the applications is important. The users have to install the new application first. But the research shows that the users continue with the older versions of applications.
