| What is this?
This service provides a review of the logical structure of
the system for a specific application being developed by the
customer starting from requirements analysis. This process
incorporates the best practices pertaining to the evolution
analysis and design. The following sections provide an overview
of the activities involved.
Why this?
A logical design is essential for the development of a robust
system. This design should follow the architecture to be effective.
A logical design helps the team move forward without rework
thus saving cost and enhancing productivity. The logical structure
is independent of technology and caters to the functional
and non-functional requirements. It helps the team in implementing
the logical structure on a specific technology. What is more,
the logical design easily facilitates the porting of applications
to another platform or technology. The impact analysis is
also facilitated by the logical structure leading to smoother
change implementation and maintenance.
Who can benefit out of this?
Both stakeholders and developers are benefited. Stakeholders
get a clear structure of what is being developed, especially
when they are developing products. The logical design structure
helps them identify reusable assets. Those stakeholders who
acquire developed system or outsource the development of the
system are also benefited as the logical structure provides
a basis for evolving the system further or porting it to another
platform. Outsourcing the future evolution is also made simple
by the logical structure.
Having well defined and managed structure helps the architect
and designers identify reusable components such as design
patterns and frameworks. This, in turn, leads to reduced cost,
enhanced productivity and good quality. Evolving future generations
of these applications is made easier by these reusable assets.
What are the different models we offer?
Astra Infotech offers the following services with respect
to Analysis and design:
- Training: This is a four day's program imparting the
basics of analysis and design.
- Consulting: This service facilitates the designers in
evolving and analyzing the design. Our consultants work
along with the designers in establishing the appropriate
methodology that helps the customers document the design
as a series of models.
- Quickstart: This is a combination of training and consulting.
The methodology is imparted in a short time with the hands-on
being done on the project itself. This provides the shortest
path to implement the methodology, ideally suited for small
teams and projects.
What is the normal working model?
- Trainings are imparted onsite with our trainers directly
interacting with the project team
- Consulting is either done wholly onsite or using an onsite-offshore
model. Part of the documentation activities could be done
offshore. This offers cost effective
