At K-Soft, we follow Software Quality Assurance (SQA) plan that adhere to the quality assurance needs at every phase of the software development life cycle. Our team has developed a focused quality control checklist. Our aim is to provide quantifiable and consistent results through automated processes that have been tested over time. Purpose of the SQA Plan is to establish a uniform software development process, which is applicable throughout the software development life cycle. It also covers the processes defined in the Process Guidelines.

Quality is an ever-extending goal - the better you are, the better you need to be. The management of the quality process is endless, and marked only by milestones, never by completion! K-Soft recognizes that, to fulfill our goal of self-evident quality, we need to constantly improve our deliverables to match the increasing expectations of our clients. With standardization being the key to professional, personal and financial growth. K-Soft reviews all its processes time to time and enhances them regularly.

Stringent quality checks ensure that the quality of the software development work delivered is superior by all standards. With a vision towards achieving quality certification, the software development work processes at K-Soft group are streamlined to achieve maximum benefit.

Software Development Methodology

At K-Soft, all projects follow a well-defined project life cycle. We follow standard software development methodology, which helps us to provide very cost-effective and efficient solutions. The graphical presentation of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) phases from Rational Unified Processes (RUP), explains the core process workflow and iterations in SDLC. The following are the various phases of software development life cycle followed at K-Soft India, which commensurate with internationally accepted standards.

• Software Development Process
• Software Quality Process

Software Development Process

Phase A - Requirement Gathering
This is the first phase for every project when our business consultants meets the client to understand the course, design, and platform requirements. These are brainstorming sessions that help determine the over all business objectives and marketing goals. The initial scope of the project is then defined in terms of cost, effort, schedule, and deliverables and functional specifications are generated. Extensive feasibility study is done, after that proposal agreement is signed with client.

Phase B - Analysis & Design
Specialists from project management, software engineering, instructional design, and graphic design analyzes the client's requirements, design the hardware and software architecture and their implications on product development. Based on the analysis, a design specification document is prepared. Along with this test plans gets generated.

Phase C - Development & Testing
This is the stage where the project is actually off the ground. K-Soft builds the application in progressive phases or increments upon approval of development specification by client. First the prototype is created, which is functionally complete and runs on the actual platform envisaged or different prototyping techniques are used . Once the client approves the design and the prototype, the production team starts the development process. This is where scripting, creation of graphics, and coding take place. Testing begins right at the prototype phase and continue through various project milestones.

Phase D - Implementation, Deployment and Training
Once the system goes into production mode, comprehensive training is extended to the end-users; not only to administer and maintain it, but also to make them understand the underlying technology and development tools. The end-users are trained to use the application effectively. Follow-up action in terms of close monitoring of the system and applications ensures immediate response to issues.
