Once you're setup and running in your workspace. The general outline of the build process is as follows:

  1. Requirements
  2. Design & architecture
  3. Build
  4. Deploy & support
  5. (optional) Iterate and develop new features

 

The specific terms that we will refer to when building a service that we are building for you will go through:

  1. Requirements - working out what needs to be built
  2. Design - both visually and architecturally for the backend
  3. Development - when we are building
  4. Alpha test - our testing stage
  5. Beta test - when we pass over to you for your own testing. A really important step to ensure the service is ready for production.
  6. Production - the service is live and ready for use
  7. Deprecated - only required where a service becomes is decommissioned by either being superseded or no longer needed
