During this phase, the client shares its vision and all existing documentation with Visionaire to help outline the high-level requirements of the system. We will use this document as a starting point for the specific requirements of the system. The envisioning phase of the project will culminate in the creation of the Vision\/Scope document.<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Define project parameters<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Identify and document project requirements and specifications<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Estimate the approximate size and complexity of the project<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Determine how the project should be implemented<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Estimate the precise scope and depth of the Analysis and Design phase<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Principal Deliverables: Scoping Document, Project Plan<\/p>\n<p><strong>ANALYSIS AND DESIGN :<\/strong><br \/>\nThe analysis and design phase is the process of determining how the solution should be built. The technical development team takes the results of the envisioning phase and plans the entire development of the solution. The planning process will end with the completion and client&#8217;s acceptance of the System Requirements Specification (SRS). The SRS describes what the solution needs to do, complete with use cases, context diagrams, a data dictionary, network topology, and detailed business requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The SRS is a deliverable document that will require the client&#8217;s sign-off and approval. Any features or functions changed or added post-sign-off will go through Visionaire&#8217;s change control process, and be changed or added subject to Visionaire&#8217;s discretion. Visionaire will not continue to the development stage until the SRS is signed-off. The SRS represents the system on paper before any code is written. It is imperative that the client&#8217;s personnel review the SRS in detail.<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Develops detailed requirements<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Design prototypes<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Builds a logical model of solution<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Designs the physical system components<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Develops a complete architectural system model<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Prepares a build-and-test plan for the components<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Principal Deliverables: Functional Specification for the System, Overall Build-and-Test Plan<\/p>\n<p><strong>DEVELOPMENT :<\/strong><br \/>\nThe development phase is when the solution is constructed. All features and functionality outlined in the SRS will be built as specified. No new features or functions will be changed during the development stage without Visionaire&#8217;s review within the change control process.<\/p>\n<p>Visionaire&#8217;s change control process includes alerting the team of the proposed or requested change, and each team lead evaluating the impact as it relates to additional work hours. Visionaire will provide Client with an estimate of the additional costs and timeline change as a result of the request.<\/p>\n<p>Once all features are incorporated into the software, the development team will build an Alpha release. The Alpha release marks the beginning of the internal testing that is focused on testing the business and functional requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The end of the development stage is marked by the first Beta release of the software.<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Builds internal releases of the system<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Tests each iterative release, while the next iteration is constructed<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Documents and defines test cases for each iteration<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Prepares the applications for acceptance testing<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Principal Deliverables: System Ready for Beta Testing and Completed Set of Test Cases<\/p>\n<p><strong>DEVELOPMENT AND STABILIZATION :<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>User testing begins with the first Beta release, which also marks the beginning of the stabilization stage. During stabilization, multiple Beta releases will be built and tested. Quality Assurance will identify and track bugs while development will simultaneously work to eliminate bugs and stabilize the system.\u2028\u2028Normally, there are 3 Beta releases before a release candidate version is ready. The client for user, functional, and business requirement compliance will evaluate each release candidate. The end of the stabilization phase is marked by the final client acceptance and sign-off of the software solution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TESTING :<\/strong><br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Performs functional &#8220;Acceptance Testing&#8221;<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Deploys an &#8220;alpha&#8221; release<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Creates a simulated production environment<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Performs stress testing<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Prepares the production environment.<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Principal Deliverable: Deployment-Ready System<br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>DEPLOYMENT :<\/strong><br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Use one or more beta test cycles<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Train users and support personnel<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Deploy the system<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Monitor system performance and make modifications as required<br \/>\n\u25e6\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Principal Deliverable: System in Production<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visionaire has developed a proprietary process for managing large software and hardware solutions that is based upon the Microsoft Solutions Framework.
