Introduction
Developing new products can be both exciting and challenging. At Deeplogics, we understand that from initial Ideation to research and prototyping, no two product launches are ever the same. However, we follow a general standard that ensures our product development process delivers its expected aims and objectives.
Our Product development process is comprised of six main steps required to take your product from ideas to the final launch for the market. Our process covers market research, researching the competiton, developing a product roadmap and building a minimum viable product (MVP).
Our Process
Investigation
Our design team meet with you to understand what you are trying to build, it features and requirements, and what problem you are trying to solve with the solution.
Requirements Gathering: Our business analyst will sit on a call or hold a physical meeting with you, to get a clear understanding of your products features.
Market Research: Our research team will study the market and your business model to identify the best tech solutions.
Project Cost Estimation: An approximate estimate of cost and time required to launch your product is generated by our business analyst.
Output for this Phase
- Consultation with our business analyst.
- Idea crash test
- Cost and time Estimate
Planning
In this phase, we iterate through all your product’s features, prioritizing them and organizing them on the project timeline. We also define the best technology stack and system architecture for the project.
Feedback Session(s): We assess your ideas and associated risks, we prioritize features and requirements, and we send you, our results.
Roadmap: Our roadmaps give a clear picture of the development process, covering both current and future tasks involved.
Technology & Architecture: We select the best technologies and the most appropriate architecture to reduce the chances of a refactoring in the near future.
Output for this phase
- Sitemap
- Development Plan
- Technology stack
- System architecture
- Final Proposal
Design
The final product is defined by user research and testing. Our designers will hold ideation sessions in order to come up with as many new angles and ideas as possible. At the end of this phase, we will be able to narrow down the ideas with which to define the product.
User Experience: Our design team determines user interaction with the product to accomplish their purpose quickly and intuitively.
User Interface: We will present a final view of the product, with focus on details and micro interactions.
Identity Design: We enhance your company’s identity elements to improve brand visibility and memorability.
Output for this phase
- Identity enhancement
- Style guide
- Wireframes
- Prototype
- UI Design Mockups
Development
This phase sees our engineering team build your software product using defined technologies and architectures in line with the user experience and user interface designs.
Throughout the development stage, the software product will undergo several iterations to output its most desired version.
Databases & Cloud: Our development team will setup the required environment(s) for data storage, API hosting, cloud computing, etc.
Front-end Development: Our team craft beautiful and intuitive user interfaces to provide your users with an experience second to none.
Back-end: Our team of back-end system developers ensure that efficient and secure application business logic is put in place to ensure the software product runs smoothly on the available infrastructure.
Output for this phase
- Application layout
- Business logic code
- Configured databases
- API Services
Testing
Our QA personnel perform automated and manual testing operations to assure the highest quality and standards were adhered to during development, and that the user experience is top notch.
Automated Testing: For higher deployment capacity and lower risk of regression, we employ an automated approach to software testing.
Manual Testing: To ensure that all features are functional as defined and users get the best experience possible, our QA team also carries out product checks by hand.
Security Testing: Our testing procedure also ensures the absence of any backdoors, vulnerabilities or potential data breaches when the product is live.
Output for this phase
- Test automation
- Usability testing
- Test scripts
- Security checks
Deployment & Maintenance
In addition to taking your product live, we are also available to support its growth and possible expansion post-deployment.
Our Continuous integration and delivery pipelines are setup and ready to increase rapid deployment capacity.
CI/CD: Increased deployment speed, complete with automated tests for functional software.
Cloud and App Stores: Secure setup of cloud environment for application deployment, in addition to mobile app configuration for release on the various app stores.
Continuous improvement: We advise on new use cases and opportunities for your product. We are also willing to assist with adjusting the product’s trajectory if required.
Output for this phase
- Source code and build files
- Product reviews
- User feedback
- Maintenance and support
