The software development process
the process of software development tends to be rather chaotic. Team members come and go, requirements change, schedules change, entire projects get canceled, entire companies go out of business, and so on. The programmer's job is to successfully navigate this chaos and in the end produce a "quality" product in a "timely" manner.

Besides being chaotic, the software development process also tends to be rather iterative. As a software product is developed, it continuously evolves based on feedback from many parties. This iterative process works from release to release (each release is one iteration) and within the development cycle of a single release. From release to release, for example, the feedback of customers with the current version indicates which bug-fixes and enhancements are most important to make in the next version. Within the development cycle of a single release, the vision of the end target is continuously adjusted by forces within the company as development progresses.

Despite the chaos and iteration, however, We have found that most development teams try to enforce some structure on their development efforts. For the purposes of this column, I'll loosely divide the software development process of a single release cycle into these four phases:
Specification
Design
Implementation
Integration and test

With these four phases We intend to capture a structure that I have observed in most software development projects. Because each company is different, each team is different, and each project is different, these four phases form only a rough outline of a typical development cycle. In practice, some phases may be skipped or may happen in a different order. And because the iterative nature of software development tends to bubble up through any imposed structure, these phases may to some extent overlap or bleed into one another.

Bit-7 Informatics provides web-enabling services to organizations seeking to use their existing applications to conduct business via browser technology. Bit-7 Informatics has proven its ability to transform its clients' existing applications in order to provide cost effective browser access to business information and data processing. Client-Server applications can be converted into web applications allowing more personnel to access your business information, often at a fraction of the current operating costs.

We at Bit-7 Informatics enhance web enabling by integrating applications, databases and legacy systems with Web-based technology. Organizations can stay competitive by reducing costs and time doing order processing, customer service and distribution. Companies can also enter new markets, gain new customers, and expand their business with existing customers.

Client / Server Applications:
Client/Server computing is emerging as the most appropriate computing technology in the business world. The similarities between this computing paradigm and the way today's businesses want to operate are so clear that a large number of corporations are migrating to client-server.

Using structured methodologies and proven IT processes helps to reduce complexity, risks and costs associated with client/server development. We will help you develop customized software applications and assist you thorough out the entire software development Life Cycle, including project management, systems analysis and design, software development, implementation and training.

Bit-7 Informatics has expertise in a wide variety of the latest programming language tools and platforms for client-server application. In a nutshell our strong technical team can help ensure that the client-server products and services we provide meet your expectations.

Software Development Tools:
Bit-7 Informatics always have been paying a significant attention to R&D and increasing skills of its developers and level of of software development processes.

Business Process Automation Software Development:
Market competition is forcing firms to reconsider how they are organized to compete. As a basis for change, they are exploring a variety of concepts, including Time-based Competition, Quality Function Deployment, Activity-Based Costing, Quality Circles, Continuous Improvement, Process Innovation and Business Process Re-Engineering. Regrettably, most of the concepts are descriptive, if not ad hoc, and lack a formal model, which would enable their consistent application across firms.

The results of the project are implemented in a prototype software system for evaluation by our industrial partners. This prototype is intended to be useful for consulting companies, software vendors that try to offer complete solutions for enterprise integration, and for organization units in major companies that analyze and design business processes. The primary advantage of the approach taken in the project is that the tools that are designed are generic for a wide range of applications. In order to ensure that the prototype achieves this goal, an advisory group has been created that is comprised of companies in the above areas providing direction to the research efforts. The role of this group is to evaluate existing tools for enterprise design and to propose necessary capabilities for new tools.
