How we work
Today, for most organizations it is not feasible to completely document their requirements due to time or other constraints, or else the requirements change frequently due to changing market conditions, customer feedback or the business model. For that reason, Agile development is the number one approach at ZelloSoft. After years of experience with software development, we’ve found that agile is the best methodology for delivering anything from a minimal viable product to a full-scale enterprise system. However, we know the final decision for project methodology rests with the client and the team, so we are happy to offer Scrum, RUP or Waterfall to our clients as appropriate.
DEVELOPMENT STAGES
Our workflow is created based on 4-stage process
Requirements
We want to fully understand your needs before implementing your project, so our first step is to analyze and document your high-level software requirements. With you, we will have many discussions, develop user stories, and document them in our project management tool, Redmine. This step ensures a project vision mutually agreed upon by your team and ours.
UI/UX Design
Once we have a clear idea of your software requirements, we then aim to design the best solution. Tools such as Figma, Visio and a host of other aids help us to make sure our design parallels your goals. By project completion you will be well-versed in wireframes, functional workflows, and many other artifacts.
Develop and Test
The next step is to program and completely test your software application using industry standard development tools, automated testing, and an automated build process. Using the automated build processes, we can ensure product quality, ensure the quality of the software by running tests, detect coding issues, and enforce certain development rules prior to deployment. In addition, we are regularly documenting the code to making it easy to understand today or years from now.
Deploy
From the clients' perspective, the project really begins with deployment of their custom software; possibly the most important aspect of the whole process. We take the most pride in proper installation, configuration and final performance.
We can streamline your deployment process through Continuous Delivery. Although it is not available for all organizations, we implement it when appropriate in order to automate deployment to test or production servers.
FOCI FOR OUR WORK
Communication and Project Management
In each phase of our development methodology, we are fully commitment to providing clear communication, exceptional project management, and complete transparency for our clients. The project manager has full responsibility for communicating with the client on everything related to the project. He or she also reports ZelloSoft’s progress at each and every milestone. Our clients in retunrn are encouraged to discuss any and all concerns with the project manager throughout the development process. Our project managers always respond to inquiries and requests and quickly as possible, because we know that this is critical for the success of the project and for our clients’ satisfaction.
Superior Quality
At ZelloSoft, we pride ourselves on bringing about exceptionally high quality throughout the development process. Our quality-assurance staff members are involved in each and every stage of our development methodology, inspecting deliverables at each milestone. They make sure that our team adheres to our internal quality-assurance policies and procedures, and they keep us on track so that the final product meets our clients’ requirements for functionality, budget, and timeframe.
