Methodology

Ever since its inception, The Online Inc. has strongly adhered to identifying projects through wide-ranging technological and user-friendly specifications. At the same time, we realize the importance of maintaining a reasonable balance between the competitive demands of a painstaking process and the present day IT scenario. Established in traditional values embedded in modern-day, state-of-the-art software development methodologies, The Online Inc.’s methods efficiently embraces the dynamic pace and scope of today’s software projects. Our methods are focused on coming up with the appropriate product mix, with the aid of precise technologies, delivered right on schedule and within your budget for absolute client satisfaction. For this we implement the following:

Weekly Status Reports: At the end of each week, we dispatch a Status Report to our clients, updating them about the status of:

• All activities originally planned for the past week
• All proceedings actually completed in the past week
• Action planned for the next week
• Other issues, if any

Estimates: We provide all our clients prior estimates, to help them prepare in assembling and preparing out the necessary information.

Process Sequencing: We follow a proven, practical approach to managing the complete project lifecycle. This includes the following sequences:

• Staged development
• Risk and change management control procedures
• Testing & Quality Check & Installation

Requirements capture: Our up-to-the-minute solutions and techniques are based on a lot of research and comprehensive client requirements. We integrate state-of-the-art web technologies to accomplish our aims, and plans based on client demands.

Case studies: The Online Inc. fulfills an expansive range of client obligations - from assisting you in assessing and prioritizing software and Web based initiatives to advancing those that have the most impact on your company’s performance and bottom-lines. We have put together a series of case studies to exhibit how some of our clients are benefiting from the web technology developed / designed by us.

User interface prototypes: Our processes are simple. We employ quick utility testing between User interface iterations to support rapid execution and revision of the prototypes.

All-inclusive Bug Management: Since bugs are an integral part of every solution development process, we employ a defect-tracking process that leads to:

• A fully integrated solution that enables users to input and track new bugs, defects, and problems in general

• Full control over the workflow
