The Management of Baycastle Development Services

Baycastle use agile methodologies to manage the development of software from concept to deployment. The process is efficient and open, offering the client visibility of the project at every stage.

The key stages of any project include:

		Discuss your requirements contributing to the definition of the functionality and the architecture. We will help select the development tools and agree the key features
		Baycastle provide an outline Functional Specification as part of our proposal. At this early stage we offer a fixed-price and if appropriate a range of options again with associated prices
		We work with you to develop "user stories" describing the features of the product, module or system. You will be asked to sign-off the stories at this point
		The Baycastle team provide estimates against the user stories and agree with you which stories are to be included in each release
		Regular release of software with an agreed frequency. This provides you open access to the development process seeing the state of the project frequently, for example very 2 weeks
		We use Microsoft Source Safe to manage all code and deploy a continuous integration server building the code every day or even every hour
		All code is built with accompanying test code allowing unit testing to continue automatically as the code is developed
		Baycastle write a complete test plan and take all projects through rigid QC and QA processes before final release for your acceptance testing
		Finally we provide you with online access to our OnTime system for management of incidents, features and defects
