About Us > Why Jbytes
Jbytes employs a proven software development methodology that accurately defines the business problem and the requirements for a high return-on-investment solution. Our 10-step process ensures that everyone working on the project clearly understands the goals of the project and their responsibilities to reach those goals. Every member of our organization lives and breathes this methodology. It is engrained in our culture and everyone at jbytes recognizes success only when our clients realize dramatic gains.
| Step1 – Analyze the business requirements Jbytes analyzes your business operations looking for opportunities to exploit the Internet to your benefit. Working closely with the customer, we define a set of realistic requirements that will have maximum impact on the business. |
 |
| Step2 – Define Goals and Budgets We adjust the requirements to fit within the client’s schedule and budget. Throughout the development cycle, each task is individually monitored against the targeted completion date and budget. If a problem arises, our project manager is made aware of the issue very early in the process so it may be addressed before the project is impacted. |
|
| Step3 – Prototype Cycle With the requirements, schedule and budget clearly defined, we enter into the Prototype Cycle where we perfect the design of the software. We create html prototypes that enable users to test drive the system before extensive code is written. A key part of the Prototype Cycle is to continuously measure the impact of requested features against the budget. During this time, we will begin modeling software functionality using object-oriented techniques which becomes the requirements specification. |
|
| Step4 – Client Sign-off Once the client is happy with the prototype and requirements specification, we execute a sign-off agreement to signal that it is ok for our developers to begin programming. |
|
| Step 5 – Conversion and Coding Jbytes implements the customer's solution using the jbytes.jar application foundation, which enables our engineers to quickly convert the prototype html into a powerful web application. |
|
| Step6 – Development Testing While programming the application, the development team uses a combination of automated and manual test scripts to ensure the developed application meets the defined requirements. Problems with the code are fixed and the development testing process is restarted until the software testing is successful. |
|
| Step 7 – Quarantine Testing Once successfully Development tested, a Quarantine testing environment is configured to match the production system and the software is tested again. If bugs are discovered during Quarantine test, the module is repaired and the testing cycle starts again going back through Development and Quarantine testing. The client is also asked to conduct tests on the Quarantine environment to ensure that all functionality is complete prior to installation on the live servers. |
|
| Step 8 – Final Client Sign-off When the Quarantine Test is complete, we execute a client sign-off to production agreement and the software is moved to the production site. |
|
| Step 9 – Final Test A final production system test is performed and when the client provides the go ahead, we launch. |
|
| Step 10 – Live Upon going live, jbytes provides ongoing hosting and support of the application to maximize the client’s return on investment. |
