Project Success Through Quality-Driven Methodologies

Just as everyone knows, the three most important factors for software development are “Quality! Quality! Quality!” This is why we are uncompromising when it comes to quality assurance measures throughout the entire software development life-cycle:

In the design phase, we will form a Joint Application Development (JAD) team with our client. It is at this stage where we discuss and thoroughly understand the client’s business goals and requirements. The JAD team will conduct assessment sessions to define the technical parameters as well as devise the road map, complete with milestones and measures of success, for the development phase. To ensure that the finished product is exactly as the client envisioned, we will provide a Rapid Prototype and Software Requirement Specification document as the deliverable for this phase.

In the development phase, we employ the proven Version Release Strategy (VRS) to break a project down into a multiple versions for establishing an early baseline, flexible change controls, risk-driven scheduling, iterative testing, and faster time-to-market implementation. The VRS process ensures a higher quality end product because it involves more frequent builds of all the components for testing and review. This enables the quality and stability of the total solution to be well-understood through ample test data before the solution is released into production. Versioned releases also ensure that the best ideas are reflected in the solution, as a user review and checkpoint will be conducted at each version release.

In the production phase, as the project successfully rolls out, the Saga team will conduct all of the necessary “knowledge transfer” and transition operations with the client. User training sessions and manuals customized for every level of user are provided so as to minimize any downtime associated with the implementation and adoption of the new solution. Saga Technologies will provide ongoing support with a service level agreement reflecting our commitment to building a long-term partnership with each and every client.
