Verisae's development processes is based on a Rapid Prototyping Agile methodology.

There are many specific agile development methods. Most promote development iterations, teamwork, collaboration, and process adaptability throughout the life-cycle of the project.

Verisae's approach is to use agile methods to break tasks into small iterative increments. Iterations are short time frames that typically last from one to four weeks. Each iteration involves a team working through a full software development cycle including planning, requirements analysis, design, coding, unit testing, and acceptance testing. Multiple iterations may be required to release a product or new feature. This helps minimize overall risk, and lets the project adapt to changes quickly. Stakeholders produce documentation as required.

Verisae documentation is maintained on-line using Confluence to facilitate the rapid agile development process. Verisae's development process is an iterative focused process geared to rapid development and application deployment and is based on the following steps.

  1. Identify business requirements and potential costs
  2. Create a Business Requirements Document (BRD)
    • Create GUI layout using Sketching and Visio tools
    • Identify Reporting requirements
  3. Create a Functional Specification for development
    • Additional analysis steps as needed
    • Finalize GUI layout as needed
    • Database model and ERD diagrams
    • Document Application Use Cases
    • Business objects needed to support requirements
    • Unit test during development
  4. Create a Test Plan based on the BRD and Functional specification
  5. Create End User Documentation
    • End User documentation can be created early during the development process and is based on the BRD and Functional specification.
    • End User documentation is developed and maintained in Confluence, an on-line web based Wiki.
  6. Application Maintenance
    • Application maintenance and bug fixes are managed using Jira, an on-line web based software maintenance tool.
