This is a continuation from last months discussion on Application Architecting, FuseCoding, Unit Testing, Application Integration, and Deployment in TeraTech’s Development Approach. The TeraTech methodology centers on the practice of documentation of our work and the placement of all development artifacts into a repository along with the source code. 1. System Decomposition -Capture all system […]
TeraTech Development Approach – Unit Testing, Application Integration, Deployment
This is a continuation from last months installment of the TeraTech Development Approach. 6. Unit Testing As each fuse is coded, it is unit tested against the test harness. This gives the coder a way to ensure the correct behavior is produced by the fuse, without being in constant contact with the architect. 7. Application […]
TeraTech Development Approach – Application Architecting and Fusecoding
This is a continuation from the ongoing discussion of TeraTech’s Development Approach. 4. Application Architecting Once the prototype is finished and approved by the system owners, the application architect constructs the application design or schema, identifying fuseaction and organizing them into circuits. Each fuseaction’s behavior is broken down into a set of fuses, and the […]
TeraTech Development Approach – Prototype/ Front-End Development
This is a continuation of the series in TeraTech’s Development Approach from last month. 3. Prototype/Front End Development A FLiP prototype is a clickable model of the finished application with dummy data and no backend behind it. Prototyping is the largest stepn in the FLiP cycle, generally taking up to 70% of the project’s elapsed […]
TeraTech Development Approach – Personas and Goals, and Wireframe
This is a continuation from the TeraTech Development Approach from last month. 1. Personas and Goals Who will use this software? Why will they use it? A persona is a precise description of the application’s user. Understanding the goals of the system users and owners (personas) and regular communication with them is essential for the […]
TeraTech Development Approach – A Series
TeraTech has adopted the standard Fusebox Lifecycle Process (FLiP) methodology for managing the design and development of new software systems. The FLiP mehtod described below is the process for identification of system requirements through an interactive engagement with the client and system users. It has proven effective in reducing the often expensive efforts to identify […]
Insurance e-commerce
We recently help union insurance company Ullico to create their first ecommerce site for selling insurance online. The site was personalized depending on which union a client belongs to and quotes differed depending on age, gender and other factors. We involved the Ullico development team in our development process and were able to hand over […]
