Application Development

AK Systems software engineering methodologies are a comprehensive set of processes that comprise the full range of Information Technology projects including but not limited to development, integration and conversion of applications. Our methodologies addresses all project aspects including roles and responsibilities; standards and procedures to be followed; tools to be used; products to be delivered during each stage of the project's life cycle; and the presentation format and content of each deliverable.

Project Methodology

We use the Rational Unified Process:
Apply an iterative, use-case driven, architecture-centric process to the development of a design model

Read and interpret the artifacts of requirements that are used as a starting point for analysis and design

Read and interpret architectural layers and their relationships, key abstractions, and analysis mechanisms for use in creating a design model Identify classes from a use-case flow of events

Use UML to represent a design model Develop use-case realizations that model the collaborations between instances of classes Verify that there is consistency in use-case realizations. Apply the object-oriented concepts of abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, hierarchy, modularity, and polymorphism to the development of a design model Distribute use-case behavior to classes identifying responsibilities of the classes.


Detailed Documentation of Impacted Business Processes

We use IBM-Rational tools for documenting business processes. Business Processes are documented in the form of Rational Rose in Use Case Format: This documents helps a non-technical person to understand the business process and provide the views on it.

Business Requirement Documents: These are in-depth details of the Business process which are used to sign off the vendors understanding of the specific Business processes.

Detailed Design Documents: Made by developer which includes developers' or Programmers' view of implementing a given business process. These documents are reviewed by an experienced technical team, which identifies the pros and cons in the proposed solution and rectifies it to provide a highly effective solution.
