These techniques ensure that, from the start, users are involved in the design and development of the application, right through to user acceptance testing. In essence, the users take ownership of the system well before implementation. Rapid Application Development methods are also employed. A prototype based on the functional specifications is prepared, and reviewed during sessions with users and other involved groups to ensure that all the functional requirements are addressed. Then, object classes for the database interface and screen components are identified, reviewed and finalised.
All developments undergo quality testing according to agreed and documented test plans.
Development and implementation includes identifiable milestones. As each milestone is reached, it must be accepted by the client before progressing to the next step. Progress and deliverables are discussed at regular Project Board meetings.
