Software Development Process
We Are Fully Transparent About Our Working Process.Let’s Turn Your Idea Into Success Together.
How We Work
Discovery
A discovery call is the very beginning of every project. During the call we will discuss the outline of your project, your requirements and goals.We’ll answer and ask questions to better understand the project and assess our capabilities and resources. We will discuss the project timeline, budget, and any potential challenges or risks. The main purpose of the discovery call is to gather all the necessary information to further provide a proper estimation and proposal to fit the goals of your project.
Estimation
Before we can provide you with an estimate, we need to conduct a thorough analysis and research for your project. As a result we’ll present you with a timeline, suggest an optimal team structure, and recommend the technologies that we believe would be most beneficial for your project. It is vital that we take the time to complete this step, as it is crucial for the long-term success of the project and cost-effectiveness. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of this stage.
Agreement
Legal part of any business relationship is a very important aspect. At DreamTeam Mobile we take it seriously and craft our agreements carefully to make sure that both our client and us have full confidence and clearly understand the scope of the project, deliverables and responsibilities.We have a few types of agreements such as MSA (master service agreement), SLA (service level agreement) as well as SOW (scope of work) for each project or each phase of the project.After this step is completed and the agreements are signed by both parties we are ready to start the project.
Kick-off Meeting
Now that you decided on working with us it’s time start the project.Kick-off meetings are the best way for us to get to know each other, build rapport between our companies, and establish a shared understanding of the project goals and scope of work. This is a crucial step in ensuring the success of the project and establishing a strong working relationship.Kick-off meetings usually take place online via video-conference and can go up to a few (1-3) meetings.
Wireframing
At this stage of the project, you will be collaborating primarily with our UX/UI designer and a project manager. While we acknowledge that a plan alone does not guarantee success, we also recognize the importance of thorough planning. As such, we are dedicated to creating high-quality wireframes to ensure that all members of the project team have a clear understanding of the project and to minimize the risk of encountering difficulties during the design and development phases. We believe that this careful planning is vital to the overall success of the project.
Design
We believe that every project should be designed in a way that allows the average user to begin using it without the need for tutorials, and that the overall appearance of the solution should not discourage them from using it. This holds true for apps intended for internal use or for use in a business-to-business (B2B) environment, as well as for those designed for end-client use in a business-to-consumer (B2C) setting. The excellent design of Slack ended the era of poorly designed business solutions. Whether we are creating an app or website for a B2C or B2B audience, we prioritize usability, aesthetics, and the enjoyment that comes from using well-designed solutions.
Development
As we move forward with the development, the hard work and careful planning that we have put into the project will begin to take shape. Our approach to software development is agile and iterative, which means that your project manager will keep you informed of our progress at the end of every sprint, presenting you with new features and components. It is important to note that the agile process involves a close integration of development, testing, and documentation. Our team is dedicated to producing high-quality, well-documented software, including technical documentation on the code, algorithms, and APIs that we create or incorporate into the project, as well as installation and deployment documentation.
Testing and Quality Assurance
At DreamTeam Mobile, we understand the importance of ensuring the highest quality in software and digital product development. We believe that only the best products have a place in the market, and we are committed to helping you create a product that your users will love. To achieve this, we prioritize quality assurance from the very beginning of the development process, starting with the wireframing stage. We are meticulous in our attention to usability and aesthetics, and we have rigorous code review and automated testing processes in place to ensure that your product is of the highest caliber. We use the following types of tests depending on the project:
> Unit Testing
> Integration Testing
> Regression Testing
> Acceptance Testing
> Stress Testing
> Security Testing
> Recovery Testing
> Usability Testing
Deployment
We use an iterative approach to software development, also known as continuous development, which allows us to deliver solutions quickly and efficiently. By working in short development and deployment cycles, we are able to minimize the need for changes to the project and make it easier to control and verify that what we are building meets your needs. Quality assurance is a vital part of this process, and our use of continuous integration ensures that tests are run automatically and we have greater control over the quality of individual changes. To ensure a smooth, fast, and secure deployment process, we utilize a range of solutions and technologies, including popular cloud platforms such as AWS and Google Cloud, and the Docker containerization tool.
Success
At DreamTeam Mobile, we are dedicated to achieving success in every software development project we undertake.We follow a number of proven strategies and best practices that have helped us deliver high-quality products to our clients time and time again.
One of the keys to our success is our commitment to agile development methodologies. This allows us to quickly respond to changing needs and requirements, and to deliver value to our clients on an ongoing basis.
Another factor in our success is our focus on collaboration and communication. We work closely with you to understand your unique needs and goals, and we involve them in every step of the development process. This ensures that the final product meets their expectations and delivers the desired results.
Additionally, we place a strong emphasis on quality assurance and testing. We have rigorous processes in place to ensure that our software is thoroughly tested and free of defects before it is released.
Overall, it is our combination of agile development, collaboration, communication, and quality assurance that helps us consistently deliver successful software development projects on time.
