RAH Software is a professional software house and we specialise in the full software development life cycle.<br /><br /> <span class="black14">Our Approach</span><br /><br /> RAH Software use a mix of approaches which work with a given project, where possible we develop using TDD (known as Test-Driven Development), this means we write tests for the code before we even write the code. This is a fantastic way of us developing high quality code and we make it essential to any software modules which deal with any kind of financial or sensitive data.<br /><br /> Like most professional software companies, we follow the software development life cycle, the diagram below shows the multiple different stages of software and we have described how we handle the process.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> <img src="images/cycle.jpg" /><br /><br /> <span class="black14">Initial Planning</span><br /><br /> So you have decided that a software solution is what you need to help your business, in this process we get an architect involved to help understand what your trying to achieve from the software, and what else the software will give your business.<br /><br /> <span class="black14">Specification Analysis</span><br /><br /> When the architect has taken your requirements we then start to transform them into a requirements document. The requirements document transfers all the things discussed in the meeting into a hard format which describes exactly what the software will do and how it will do it.<br /><br /> This process usually gets a lot of users excited because they are made aware just exactly what the software can do for them. It can take various revisions and it will never be 100% fully accurate because after all, business is not a static entity.<br /><br /> <span class="black14">Design and Initial Development</span><br /><br /> During this process it goes to the user experience designers (UX) and the software developer s work together to transfer a document into a software design. User interfaces (the face of the software) will be mocked up into a prototype and the underlying software architecture will be designed.<br /><br /> When prototypes get designed, we demonstrate it to you and run through multiple scenarios ensuring the software is what you want.<br /><br /> <span class="black14">Implementation</span><br /><br /> Once you re happy with the specification and the design the developers start working on creating the mock-up into a real life application, we implement the best pattern for the type of project and make regular releases to the client during this process, this helps your users get familiar with the software and spot any defects before the final version.<br /><br /> <span class="black14">Testing and Integration</span><br /><br /> During this period, our test team run through a list of scenarios to test the software, your staff may also choose to test the software to spot any defects. Software tests are also run on the software automatically every time problems are fixed to ensure they re no knock on effects from our defect fixing.<br /><br /> <span class="black14">Evaluation</span><br /><br /> When we are satisfied that the software is in a fit state, we give the customer the software package to evaluate. During this process they will be constant communication with RAH Software and the customer.<br /><br /> Depending on the project, this usually takes between 1 and 3 months, the bigger the project, the longer the evaluation period maybe.<br /><br /> <span class="black14">Signing Off</span><br /><br /> Once the software has been evaluated, the project is signed off by the customer, this means they are happy with the product and the software goes live.<br /><br /> <span class="black14">Recycle</span><br /> <br /> Once the software has been released to our customers, we then provide full support for the software; any bugs found in the software can be quickly identified and fixed. </div> <div class="media-right-sub"> <div class="blue"><a href="software-development.html" class="w18">Software Development</a></div> <div class="green"><a href="webdesign.html" class="w18">Web Design</a></div> <div class="grey"><a href="products.html" class="w18">Products</a></div> <div class="green2"><a href="microsoft-dynamicscrm.html" class="w18">Microsoft Dynamics CRM</a></div> <div class="blue2"><a href="microsoft-sharepoint.html" class="w18">Microsoft SharePoint</a></div> <div class="pink"><a href="cafe-engine.html" class="w18">Our Technology (C.A.F.E)</a></div> <div class="spacer">&nbsp;</div> <div class="services-sub"> <font class="grey24">Services we Provide</font> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td width="8%"><img src="images/arrow.jpg" /></td> <td width="92%" class="black12">Software Development</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="8%"><img src="images/arrow.jpg" /></td> <td width="92%" class="black12">Microsoft Dynamics CRM</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="8%"><img src="images/arrow.jpg" /></td> <td width="92%" class="black12">Microsoft SharePoint </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="8%"><img src="images/arrow.jpg" /></td> <td width="92%" class="black12">Web Design </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="8%"><img src="images/arrow.jpg" /></td> <td width="92%" class="black12">Web Applications</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="8%"><img src="images/arrow.jpg" /></td> <td width="92%" class="black12">Application Maintenance and Support</td> </tr> </table><div class="spacer">&nbsp;</div> <a href="microsoft-sharepoint.html"><img src="images/sharepoint.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div class="spacer">&nbsp;</div> <a href="microsoft-dynamicscrm.html"><img src="images/microsoftdynamics.jpg" border="0" /></a><div class="spacer">&nbsp;</div><img src="images/microsoft_registered_partner.png" /></div></div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> <div class="spacer">&nbsp;</div> <div class="footer" align="center"><a href="index.html" class="b11">Home</a> | <a href="products.html" class="b11">Products</a> | <a href="services.html" class="b11">Services</a> | <a href="industry-expertise.html" class="b11">Industry Expertise</a> | <a href="cafe-engine.html" class="b11">Technology</a> | <a href="press-releases.html" class="b11">Press Releases</a> | <a href="company.html" class="b11">Company</a> | <a href="contactus.html" class="b11">Contact Us</a> <br /> Copyright © 2010 RAH Software Limited.
