¤ Product Engineering

Taking a product from concept to reality is a complex and arduous process. Elementz IT solutions assists you in this respect by offering customized product design services that best fit your business requirements. Our product design services include product development activities such as, product conceptualizations, design, initial development or feature enhancement needs of a product.

We work with clients to identify user requirements and develop specifications. We ensure that the development proceeds as per schedule and within budget. Excellent communications with the client during the development process is maintained. Our expertise in project management, testing and quality assurance is used to ensure that the customer gets a quality product, meeting specifications and requirements, on time.

Our design and development strategies make use of iterative development, modeling, UML and prototyping techniques, use of third party modules to aid development processes and closed-loop feedback mechanism for product refinements or improvements.

Product strategy and planning focuses on identifying and developing product opportunities from conception through design, development, deployment and support. We also help clients assess the current industry and market position and identify potential strategic directions for the target market.

We consider all aspects when developing products:

• Do the business policy and workflows need to be externalized for flexibility.
• What is the future growth in terms of users, data and transactions.
• What are the performance, scalability and high-availability requirements.

When you create a product, you have to look at ways of dipping not just the development cost, but also the operational, maintenance and future enhancement costs. In many cases, there are reliable open source alternatives to expensive commercial software. Our experience with a wide range of open source alternatives helps us build and operate robust products using such alternatives.

¤ Testing Strategy

Our wealth of experience in testing and quality assurance is used to ensure that the product is thoroughly tested. Full testing of the system is done independently of the developers. This is a critical component of our product delivery phase. What the customer gets is a fully tested quality system that meets customer requirements

¤ Test Planning

Appropriate test strategy and test plans are critical components of successful testing. We have extensive experience in the area of developing test strategies and test plans for a range of systems. Test planning requires close examination of specifications, system documentation, operating environments, testing resources etc.

¤ Testing
Correct implementation of test plans is the key to achieving the desired results in testing. We have in-depth knowledge and experience in the following tests:

» Unit Testing
Testing of individual modules in order to thoroughly exercise each module to its limits.

» Functional Testing
This is to test system requirements to verify that they meet functional specifications. The most common functional tests employed are as below:

» Regression Testing
This is to ensure that software or hardware changes have not introduced new problems to previously tested components of the system.

» Performance Testing
Performance testing is to evaluate the response time and behavior of the system when the number of users and transactions are increased to levels expected in production mode.

» Integration Testing
This is to ensure that the entire system with the production release software, work correctly on the production infrastructure with final software and hardware configurations.
