Web-based Programming for the Internet | Custom Software Applications | Development of Online Tools for Business

Over the past eight years, Caldiatech(TM) has created over 350 internet sites. This depth of experience is what gives you the confidence to launch a comprehensive and technology rich site for your business.

Client Showcase:

From the initial planning stages through the final launch, Caldiatech(TM) has the expertise to carry your project with skillful care and professionalism. Our team of developers follows the stages of delivery closely, with detailed analysis and reports, Q&A and in-depth discovery of the needs of the end-user. This quality and care allow us to deliver the type of architecture and functionality that gives the end-user the greatest ease of use and thus the most pleasant experience.

{tab=Phase I:} Phase I: Consulting
The first step for Caldiatech(TM) is understanding your particular business, your mission, your logic, rules, issues and expectations. Then we discuss the realities of how the Internet can assist you in reaching your goals and milestones. We help you to define you "service offering", we may assist in logo creation or migration. During this phase we determine the depth of any application needs and/or development. We discuss platforms, tools and the various technologies that can help you get your business online and operational. There may be data-conversion, database analysis and back-end analysis that takes place. We may also discuss various modules or middle-ware needed to help create a seamless transfer from one environment to another. {tab=Phase II} Phase II: Proposal/Bid - Statement of Work (SOW)
We create a detailed step-by-step proposal that outlines the development understanding and the various processes taken to get from initial consulting to finished product. The SOW contains checklists and time-lines, team members and travel arrangements (if applicable), training phases, client/customer expectations, marketing concepts and more. You are also given a bid sheet that defines the various stages, hourly rates and expected costs. Overall project costs are guaranteed to within 15% of the bid as long as long as the project remains within scope. {tab=Phase III} Phase III: Phase Three: Creative, Initial Drawings
You are issued a login to our extranet area and the creative phase begins. Initial logo ideas, layouts, color-combinations, etc. are created by the Caldiatech(TM) graphics team and posted in jpg or gif form for your review. Typically, as per the SOW, Caldiatech(TM) will deliver 2 distinct looks. One is a more traditional, conservative approach and the other is a more edgy and contemporary design. Usually, a client will fall somewhere between the two realms. {tab=Phase IV} Phase IV: Development
The technology aspects of the solution are mapped out, first with nothing other than "dummy screens" to insure that we have the proper functionality. From that phase we can begin the process of actually coding the needed databases and populating the system with information. {tab=Phase V} Phase V: Testing
Rigorous testing and quality and assurance goes in to the system to insure that it performs according to specs and standards. In the case of heavy searches or queries, we create extreme environments for testing that push the systems load capacity. {tab=Phase VI} Phase VI: Launch
When all of the components are in place and the testing has been completed, the site is ready for launch. We often work in collaboration with a marketing department in regard to timing the launch with other advertising campaigns in print, radio and television media. {/tabs}

Internet Marketing: Organic SEO

Sat, 11 Aug 2007 17:49:41 +0000

STRATEGIC INTERNET MARKETING

DO YOU WANT MORE CLIENTS?

Probably the most misunderstood and overrated game today is organic SEO, often dubbed as a “science”, it is really nothing more than a little common sense, strategic thinking and oftentimes, for the most part, time consuming.

It is the latter that makes most SEO strategies difficult, they are time consuming and take diligence, tweaking, reporting and follow up on results. The short-cut to success route has been squashed by all major search engines and the path to SERPs glory is now marked by hard work and solid, focused goals.

Most people start with their URL…wanting to have a URL that is rich in keywords and one that will attract the searchers because of where it will place in the “METAs” of the search engines. This makes good common sense but is not always that easy if good names are taken or you are corporate and must stick to a strong identity and branding.

If you are married to branding then the next step is keyword research and choice of keywords which leads to your building of content. “Content is King” is the saying right now on the web and it really is the God’s truth. The search engine world today is ruled by “relevancy”, so all content that is relevant to your marketplace, your niche, is what will give you credibility and relevancy in the eyes of the search engines.

Once you’ve achieved a strong content base the next step is to build a site that is easily accessible and easy to use…what is now called “Web 2.0”. A good Web 2.0 site is one that is easy to read, easy to use and easy for users to experience.

Following the basic construction, the overall SEO plan is one of generating links and continuing to build on your already awesome content. As you continue to create new inbound links and continue to add content, the search engines view your site are more “relevant” and more “authoritative” to your subject matter. In turn your SERPs (search engine results pages) will climb, your visibility will increase and so will your hits, your leads along with your sales and revenues.

Mobile Application Development

Wed, 15 Aug 2007 12:22:13 +0000

By now your company has come to realize the benefits of shared data over a wireless network. Whether it's enabling field operators to transmit their data to a central location or simply messaging and collaborating from one point to the next, the ability to share information across a wireless platform is becoming central to your company's communication needs.

And while wireless capabilities certainly offer businesses convenience, they are not a cure-all for business technology problems. To create customized applications that suit your particular business needs for collaborating and managing data, those applications must be according to your specific business rules and business logic. Caldiatech(TM) has the expertise to help you solve those core issues and make use of the features that current wireless technologies offer.

Just as in the early migration of information from paper to digital, the company must consider the following criteria:

What application is best suited your needs, i.e., pre-built, custom app, or a little bit of both?

What devices are best suited to the application, i.e., Blackberry, Treo, Palm, iPaq, Pocket PC, Cassiopeia, etc.

What connectivity is best suited for the use, i.e., Wireless, VPN, BlueTooth, G3, GPRS, etc.

What middleware might be required to create a seamless application and provide the best security for data, etc.?

What is the "Back End" or the basic "Integration Points" across the network, i.e., file servers, web servers, database servers, email servers, Exchange servers, etc.

Caldiatech(TM) has expertise in various mobile data technologies such as SMS, WAP, GPRS, and 3G, and in services and applications such as games applications, mobile commerce, messaging, ring-tones and vehicle positioning.

{/slide} {slide=Analysis and Design of the System} This is the most important phase in the life cycle of the project since the functionality to be incorporated in the new system shall be understood and analyzed at this stage. The study, analysis and design for the existing system would require special attention, as the final understanding of the requirements for new system (vis-à-vis existing system) will determine the approach to be implemented for the new system development and implementation.

Keeping in mind the special needs for the system we have categorized the analysis and design of the systems into two parts. Each phase of study and analysis would be specially treated and would be given important consideration to the fact of each systems impact on the other system.

The analysis and design phase will be split into two parts:

Analysis and Design of Existing System
Analysis and Design of Proposed System (new system)

{/slide} {slide=Analysis and Design of Existing System} As the functionality and data/content of the existing system has to be reflected in the new system, the first step towards evolving the system will be to study, understand (functioning and flow) and analyze the existing system (if required and possible). The basic purpose of this whole exercise will be to finally come out with complete understanding of the existing system in view of the different tasks specified for it.

As the development for the new/enhanced system has to be based on the existing system, the study of the existing system/components of system will be done critically. This will enable to understand the functional requirements of the system and if required suggest the required modification/enhancements.

The outcome of this study would enable us to design and develop a robust and optimized system. The existing system would require attention and special treatment keeping the following points in perspective:

Functional aspects of the existing system to be enhanced in the new system
Interfacing the new features in the system over the existing components

{/slide} {slide=Preserving Functional Aspects of Existing System (if applicable)} The new system needs to ensure that functionalities of existing systems are preserved (if required) and also the existing functional areas of system are usable. To analyze and understand the existing system the following information would be required regarding the existing systems:

Complete requirement specification (if available) of the existing system
Complete functional specifications of the existing system

{/slide} {slide=Prototype} On the successful completion of the Analysis/Understanding and Design of Systems phase a functional prototype will be readied for the approval of our understanding of the system. This prototype will comply with the agreed required specifications of the client. The prototype developed will incorporate in miniature the basic system and data flow between the components in the system.

The prototype to be developed will be in two phases, namely:

Prototype Beta
Prototype Final

Specifics of the prototype to be developed based on the final understanding and the agreed final requirement is explained herein. {/slide} {slide=Prototype Beta} Prototype in the beta version will be the first stage development, making use of the outputs from the Analysis/Understanding and Design of Systems phase, in entirety. The requirement, functional, and design specifications formed after the completion of study, for the existing as well as the new systems will determine the shape of beta prototype.

The beta prototype of the system will involve the development of new layouts, content, theme for the website along with the representation of the service/interfaces.

The final outcome of the development will be a prototype, which will be considered to be of Beta version and will subsequently be sent for the approval.

Any changes, modifications in the beta prototype will be reviewed and incorporated Inputs for the prototype development will be:

Finalized Requirement specifications from study of new system
Final Design evolved at the end of study of new system
Final defined functional specifications

During this period modifications/enhancements will be carried out based on the feedback. This phase will also carry out review of the images/graphics/animations (as applicable) and upon successful clearance will be incorporated in the System. {/slide} {slide=Prototype Final} For the beta prototype if any bugs, shortcomings or defects were reported, these will be resolved. During this period the beta prototype will pass through the same rigorous testing and version control as applicable to the normal system development process. On the final approval/acceptance of beta prototype the specific version of the beta prototype will be considered as the final prototype. Once beta prototype accepted as the final prototype of the system will be a set guideline/benchmark for developing the complete system. {/slide} {slide=Application Development} This stage shall be the longest in the entire life cycle of the System development. It shall encompass the development of all modules in conformance with the functional specifications.

The application development will commence only after the final approval of the beta prototype (i.e. with the final prototype). The system to be developed will be as per the set design and standards for the system. Each stage of application development will be monitored closely with the set milestones for each sub-system/sub-element/module.

Each successful accomplishment will be followed by the required round of testing (as applicable). The following tasks shall be carried out during this phase:

UI and display logic development
Business Logic Component development (enhancement/creation as required)
Data handling components (specifically for new system)
Creation of data /general information validation components

{/slide} {slide=Unit Level Development Process} Below are the guidelines to be used during the development process. This is not intended to be all-inclusive but to be representative of the development process. While there are many methods or models that could be used for development, this is the process by which system will work through. Any problems with the process or deviations to the process should be brought forward in the quality assurance process. It is advisable however, when performing QA to follow the methods described closely as any deviation to those processes could impact the delivery of the final product. {/slide} {slide=Documentation} The following documents shall be drafted before the development begins:

Functional Requirements Document
Technical Requirements Document
Test Requirements Document
Test Plan/Procedure
Inventory item
Defect report
Change request
Quality Assurance check list and signoff sheet

{/slide} {slide=Code Development} The process of code development shown below is not absolute. However, it is intended as a guideline.

Review functionality and technical capabilities to make sure that the capabilities to be coded to are understood.
Identify capabilities and variances to be included. This is similar to what is required to be included in the test requirements. By identifying the test requirements more fully before the development process, the capabilities will be more fully understood. This will help with the code development by providing a better scope for the project.
Test new code using unit and Integration Platforms with updated unit level test plan. A first level test will be performed on either the unit or the integration and testing platform. Any hardware requirements should have been identified in the test requirements so that it will be better understood what is needed to perform the unit level testing. This will also be the first level of integration testing. So any impacts to other modules will need to be identified at this stage.
Inventory new code modules. Use the procedure documented in the following section to help understand the different inputs required.
Update defect status. After completing code development, the status of the inventory item or defect should be changed to testing or system level testing as appropriate.

{/slide} {slide=System Development} Requirement for the system will be understood in the light of the results of study/understanding of the existing systems. Structure of system will evolve at the completion of the analysis for new requirement. The design team shall develop the final design of the system based on the final requirement understanding, which on approval from client will be passed on for prototype development at our end.

One of the important features of the system development and implementation will be development of required components for the new system and replacement of existing systems with the new systems. The basic point as mentioned in the Analysis/Understanding and Design of Systems phase is the study of the functional aspects of the system with the behavioral impact of system on the data being used in the new system. Also the point to be considered while system development will be of keeping the integrity of the existing systems components intact.

At the end of the exercise the system to be developed will be a final amalgamation of the content/functional components and flow of the existing system along with the new required/enhanced functionalities. {/slide} {slide=Acceptance Test} An important exercise in the system development is having a well-defined testing methodology following the robust QA standards set. While defining the testing methodology the important aspect considered is the well understood base requirement and the defined parameters for the system. This process strengthens our understanding of the system and also helps in developing a system with more safeguards in place for the development of robust and efficient system.

Each phase of testing will be undertaken as per the concerned stage of application development and will always have a sound process of preparing comprehensive test plans in adherence to the base system requirement catering to the complete (also special - if any) needs of every stage of system/sub-system.

The following methodology will be followed for testing as well as test plan preparation:

Component Testing
Integration Testing
System Testing
Acceptance Testing

Each stage of testing is incremental, fully taking into account the inputs from the previous testing phase. As shown in following figure each phase of testing follows a set of standard procedures, which strictly comply, with QA norms. Feedback and reporting at each phase is robust to evolve a sound check system at place, which becomes a benchmark for the tester of next phase testing. During the complete process of testing, the bugs and defects reported are closely monitored for making any kind of design/requirement decisions (if required) for enhancing the system. The outcome of this complete exercise is a robust standard system as per the requirements and expectations of the client. {/slide}

Software Development Project Organization

Thu, 16 Aug 2007 03:05:21 +0000

PROJECT ORGANIZATION

Project Structure
Roles and Responsibilities
Project Control Mechanisms
Project Handover
Assumptions

{slide=Project Structure} The project structure covers the manner in which staff is organized and the mechanisms for project reporting. Both the team structure and the reporting mechanisms are highly dependant on the size, duration and the nature of the project. For this project, the ideal team structure and reporting mechanism are detailed below. {/slide} {slide=Team Structure} The team structure for this project is depicted in the figure below. Roles and responsibilities of each team member have been explained in the section on Roles and Responsibilities below. {/slide} {slide=Reporting Structure} Project reporting occurs at two levels; intra team and inter team. Inter team communications occur within the project team while inter team reporting occurs from the project team to the senior management and the Client. A schematic of the process for progress reporting and inter/intra team communication is shown in the figure below.

Effective and timely communication on a project is a critical success factor. It goes a long way in managing the expectations of the client. If the client and his team are not kept well informed of the project progress there is a much higher probability of problems and difficulties arising due to differing levels of expectations.

Keeping in view the above points, two types of reporting shall be defined and implemented for this project:

Reporting from the Project team to the Project Manager
Reporting from the Project Manager to the Client

Two typical forums for communicating status are through a Status meeting and Status Reports. These activities are listed below:

Weekly Status Meetings The team shall attend status meetings on a weekly basis. The client may choose to have representation at the status meeting. If the project manager prefers, there could be a status meetings for the project team and a separate meeting with the client. There will be a standard agenda for the meetings and they will be kept to no more than one hour. In general, the purpose of the meetings is to communicate status, not solve problems. {/slide} {slide=Status Reporting by Project Manager} The project manager shall send Status Reports to senior management and the client on a weekly basis. {/slide} {slide=Status Reporting by Project Team Members} The project team members shall send a weekly Status Report to the project manager detailing their progress during the reporting period. The project manager shall update the status of each assigned activity in the work plan. This reporting is over and above the weekly status meetings.

The team shall sequence status reports and status meetings on Monday or Tuesday, with the weekly team member Status Reports due to the project manager by Friday morning. This process ensures that the project manager is up-to-date on all project activities at the end of the week and is prepared for productive status meetings with the project team and the client at the beginning of the following week. {/slide} {slide=Reporting by QA Team} QA will work to foster constructive communication, provide feedback to detect and prevent development problems, control risks, discuss alternative solutions, and ensure quality is built-in to all applications. {/slide}
Roles and Responsibilities Roles and responsibilities for each team member part of the proposed project team have been listed below.

{slide=Senior Management / Project Manager} The responsibilities of the Project Manager are listed below.

Develop and maintain the Code.
Implement QA processes.
Implement code standards.
Update and report status.
Promptly report result of audits to the project task leader.
Periodically report unresolved noncompliant items to technical monitor/senior management.

{/slide} {slide=Project Control Mechanisms} Various control mechanisms shall be defined to control various aspects of the project. Control mechanisms shall be implemented on the following:

Project progress
Changes to system requirements

{/slide} {slide=Proposed Quality Management System} The Quality management System proposed for this project is the ISO 9000:2000 series. The system comprises eight quality management principles on which the quality management system standards of the revised ISO 9000:2000 series are based. The senior project management as a framework to guide the project team towards improved performance will use these principles.

The eight principles are:

Customer focus
Leadership
Involvement of People
Process Approach
System Approach to Management
Continual improvement
Factual approach to decision making
Mutually beneficial supplier relationship

{/slide} {slide=Procedure to safeguard components of the application} A number of components, documents as well as program codes will be developed as a part of the project implementation. These components comprise the IT Baseline and it is imperative for the baseline to be protected. As a part of the IT Baseline protection, the following components of the application shall need to be securely stored and transferred to the Client:

Design Documents
Program Specifications
Program Source
Securely transfer program source to the Client

IT Baseline Protection shall be implemented at two levels:
