Custom Cloud Applications

The worldwide migration of desktop applications to the web is now underway, and Bizware has a unique way to insure it is done on time and within budget, with the application operational on its version 1.0.

The process begins with a Functional Description, a collaborative online document that serves to specify the online application's requirements. Our competitors often just jump right into coding based on conversations and meetings with the client. That is a quick and easy way to get started, but not to finish.

Our experience has shown that as a prescription for failure. Soon the programmers are making judgement calls, and then iterating the code based on client reviews and feedback. At this stage, the application grows full of what we call spaghetti-bowl code, full of bugs from the iterations and difficult to maintain. When we hear that an application is "90% complete, but it doesn't work", we suspect this situation.

With a Functional Description having synchronized the expectations of client and programmers, we break the Functional Description into a collection of tasks to assign to our programmers. Coding proceeds quickly then, particularly since we use a time-tested structured development methodology.

Quality is assured by test procedures that make sure the delivered code has met all the requirements of the Functional Description.
