Leaders in Asset Management Software Development Life Cycle

Leaders in Asset Management Step 1: Requirements and Analysis StepDescriptionSample Tasks Requirements and Analysis During this stage, the problem is defined so that a clear understanding can be gained of what the system should do. For example, how input is obtained, how output is displayed, and what controls are available to the user. After the requirements are identified, a thorough analysis of those requirements should be completed. Requirements should be as detailed as possible to eliminate scope creep and/or any unexpected issues later on in the process.

Leaders in Asset Management Step 2: Design StepDescriptionSample Tasks DesignIn this stage, a solution to the problem is designed by defining a logical sequence of steps that will achieve each of the previously identified requirements. The user interface will also be designed during this stage. It should be determined how input is obtained, how output is displayed, and what controls are available to the user.

Leaders in Asset Management Step 3: Development StepDescriptionSample Tasks Development and Coding This stage is where the design is translated into a system or program. You want to keep a balance between quality, time, flexibility, reusability, future addition of features and/or functionality etc. Code State Diagrams

Leaders in Asset Management Step 4: Testing StepDescriptionSample Tasks TestingThe testing stage is concerned with the validation and verification of the system. The aim of software testing is to find any errors (or "bugs") in the system and eliminate those errors (by "debugging"). As far as is reasonably practicable, the testing phase should be sufficiently rigorous to ensure that the software will function as expected under all foreseeable circumstances. Each testing scenario should relate to a requirement and each requirement should have at least one matching test scenario. Testing Scenarios Test Scripts Test Results User Acceptance Testing Certificate

Leaders in Asset Management Step 5: Implementation StepDescriptionSample Tasks ImplementationThis stage involves the packaging of all sub-packages, together with all relevant documentation in a suitable format for distribution. It ensures that everything is successfully deployed and rolled out to the users. Any change management and/or training activities should be planned around this step.

Leaders in Asset Management Step 6: Maintenance StepDescriptionSample Tasks Maintenance and Support Once the system has been implemented it will be necessary to monitor the performance of the system over a certain period of time to ensure that it is behaving as expected. The system will also have to be maintained, and parts of it will need to be upgraded from time to time to handle evolving user needs or to cope with new requirements. Logs Maintenance Tickets
