MindSync's approach is to work with you to establish the best overall solution for your project, which typically includes the following phases.

Definition assembles all the information needed to develop your software. We create documents that outline exactly how and when we propose to develop and deliver your project, including required functionality, environment, interfaces, and a project plan, letting you vary the project requirements before the project begins.

Analysis creates a detailed functional specification, defining the system or application behavior, and provides another opportunity for you to review and approve the application before it's creation commences. At this point, we revise the project plan, providing accurate and achievable timelines and budgets.

Design evaluates the project requirements and functional specification, reviews the possible technical solutions, and selects the best one. Then we create a design specification that describes the internal architecture of the system, and serves as a blue print for coding.

The final testing phase before launch is often overlooked due to scheduling or budget requirements, but is probably one of the most important aspects of a solution/design. Nothing is more disappointing to the end user than poor functionality. These errors are seldom overlooked by the user, and are often factors that persuade them not to return to the site.

Like the build process, the test process is cyclical.
