Our Process

Our typical process from start to finish usually follows the basic plan outlined below. These phases represent phases that we break projects into and the work associated with each phase. Each phase is designed to yield a tangible element that is used as the starting point for the next phase.

Project Phases
Initiate	During the initiation phase ABDC offers a free consultation to reviewDiscover The your project's needs. We will then put together a high end estimate of what the project will cost.
Discover	The discovery phase is where we take a look at your current business processes and review any current technology already in use. Once we discover the details of how you work we will then be able to make recommendationsDefine This on how your systems can interact with your web application.
Define	This phase consists primarily of a couple Joint Application Development (JAD) sessions where we define the scope of the project. We will deliver software specifications documentation to end this phase. This documentation will include all system actors, use cases, requirementsDesign The and issues. We will also process the test cases for later use, and can begin putting together user manuals at this point.
Design	The design phase includes database schema design, object modeling, wire-frames, and graphic design. During this project phase the blueprints are actually put together in software design documentation. This documentation includes database and object maps, as well as critical information on the solutions architectureDevelop The and why we chose the path that we did.
Develop	The development phase is where we will actually build the application. This includes building databases, coding objects, integrating pre selected software, and integrating creative. We will have the first testable version of the applicationDeploy The upon completion of this phase.
Deploy	The deployment phase includes launching a website, but more critically it includes full system testing. During this phase the test plan will be executed and final issues, bugs, and change request reports will be developed. Issues and bugs will be resolved and your web applicationMaintain This will go live.
Maintain	This is the ongoing project phase after your system has been deployed, where we continue to develop and integrate future components, pages, and technologies. Your solution becomes a solid foundation that all future development can sit on top of and work with.
