Development Process

Our development team, made up of highly qualified front-end and back-end developers, carefully followed these essential development phases

Discovery and Planning: Creating a Shared Vision

Discovery and Planning: Creating a Shared Vision

  • Stakeholder engagement involved collaboration with key stakeholders helped identify pain spots and implement solutions continuously.
  • Process Mapping: We extensively documented the existing onboarding data and booking procedures. It was useful in identifying areas for development and streamlining user experience for hotels and users.
  • Feature Prioritisation: We collaborated to select items that would have the most impact on improving the reservation process and built them.
  • Defining success metrics: We created clear and measurable performance metrics using the Scrum approach. This allowed us to monitor progress and ensure that the platform consistently met hotel needs.

Sprint-based Development

We implemented an Agile development process for the platform's creation. This methodology, notably Scrum with two-week sprints, guaranteed a collaborative, iterative, and efficient development process.

  • Sprint Planning: During this meeting, the development team and project managers discuss user stories that would be built throughout the sprint timeframe.
  • Daily Stand-up sessions: Each team member provided a brief report on their accomplishments, noted any impediments, and proposed collaborative solutions. This daily huddle kept everyone on track with sprint goals and promoted a sense of teamwork.
  • Iterative Development: The two-week sprint cycle reduced the danger of scope creep while ensuring timely delivery of working features. This enabled the client to provide feedback on a regular basis and alter priorities as necessary.
  • Sprint Review: During this meeting, the development team reviews the completed features with the client ensuring that the platform remains in line with the project’s goal.
  • Sprint Retrospective: After the sprint review, the team had a retrospective meeting. This session aimed to find opportunities for improvement within the development process itself, learn from user feedback and implement better solutions.

Development: Building a Robust and Scalable Platform

  • User Interface (UI) Development: Our front-end developers brought the platform's design to life by developing APIs for the user for the website and mobile app.
  • Server-Side Development: Our back-end development team worked hard to create the platform's strong server-side infrastructure. This included developing secure databases to record user information, hotel details, and booking information.
  • Security Implementation: Our back-end developers implemented robust security measures to protect user data, prevent unauthorised access, and ensure the overall integrity of the platform.
  • Continuous Integration & Delivery (CI/CD): We used a CI/CD pipeline to automate the platform's development, testing, and deployment processes.
  • Development Testing: After separate components were validated, integration testing confirmed their interaction within the larger platform. This ensured that all functionalities worked together to provide the best user experience.

Testing & Quality Assurance

  • Test Case Development: Using the project requirements and user stories, the QA engineer created precise test cases and observations along with potential edge cases in order to detect any faults.
  • Test Plan Development: A thorough test plan was methodically created, detailing the scope of testing, particular test cases, and expected outcomes.
  • Testing Levels Employed:
    • Unit Testing was done during development, the QA engineer may have re-run existing tests or performed additional unit testing to assure functionality.
    • Integration Testing was performed to ensure that the various platform components interacted seamlessly and that data flowed smoothly throughout the system.
    • Extensive functional testing was undertaken to ensure that all platform capabilities worked as intended, in accordance with the user stories.
    • Usability testing sessions were held with representatives and prospective users This critical feedback enabled final modifications to the platform's user interface.
