Our Approach To Software Development
Mapsoft adopts the
following simple
approach to
delivering the
solution you
require.
 |
Assess
Requirements
We start by
assessing
your
requirements.
We do this
by asking
you
questions
about the
specific
problem
you’d like
us to solve
and by
finding out
about your
business in
general.
Only when we
really
understand
your
business can
we help you
achieve your
goals. |
 |
Define
Project
Once we have
gathered
your
requirements,
we put
together a
detailed
Proposal
outlining
the solution
we will
provide.
This will
include a
fixed price
and a
schedule for
the project.
Depending on
the
complexity
of the
project we
may need to
work with
you to
produce a
detailed
functional
specification
as part of
this stage.
We need you
to agree our
Proposal
before we
start the
development
of your
solution. |
 |
Design &
Develop
Solution
We will
develop your
solution
using
industry-standard
stages of
development,
namely, Design,
Alpha, Beta,
Release
Candidate and Gold Master (although on
smaller
projects we
reserve the
right to
merge some
of these
stages as
appropriate).
We will keep
you up to
date with
progress at
regular
stages
throughout
the
development,
and will
incorporate
your
feedback
into the
solution. |
 |
Test &
Deliver
Solution
We always
perform
extensive
technical
testing to
ensure that
your
solution
conforms to
the agreed
specification
but of
course you
will perform
the final
acceptance
tests to
ensure that
the solution
conforms to
your
expectations. |
 |
Support
All our
solutions
come with
one year’s
free
support.
This covers
fixes for
any software
failures or
any
instances
where it can
be
demonstrated
that the
solution
does not
perform as
was
originally
agreed.
Maintenance
can be
purchased
for an
additional
sum if this
is required. |
