SecondFloor Development Life Cycle

SecondFloor has a well-defined and mature application development process which comprises the complete Software Development Life Cycle from business case analysis to maintenance and support of the application. This process supports a distributed development environment in which work responsibilities can be divided efficiently between offshore and onsite teams spread across the world.

Our flexibility allows our development teams to adopt all required methodologies based on the client's project specifications.

In most cases the Software Development Process at SecondFloor follows the spiral iterative methodology and waterfall development process in which the entire software development project cycle has to go through one or more iterations of all project stages.

We have defined our own processes for queries, requirements specifications, analysis, design, development, testing/QA, deployment and maintenance.

1. Initial Planning – workshop with our experts to understand your business needs. Feasibility studies, business process descriptions. Together with the stakeholders of the project: definition of the project scope and road map.
2. Requirement Analysis – in-depth analysis, fixed price fixed date calculation and proposal.
3. Design and Development –thanks to extremely short communication lines, you can stay in the driving seat of the project even during the design phase.
4. Coding and Implementation - using our SecondFloor and open source component libraries, SOA technology, our expertise and the knowledge and support of our partners.
5. Quality Assurance - Manual and automated testing and integration.
6. Client side evaluation – User Acceptance Testing.
7. Sign-off and release – out-of-the-box technology, ready to use at the agreed date.
8. Support – ITIL based service level agreements.
