As in any other engineering disciplines, software engineering also has some structured models for software development. Our approach is to apply software development Methodology based on industry best practices, providing end results with significant business benefits and becoming a trusted partner for their future growth.
Gentle Solutions has Methodologies and processes in place to make off site development, efficient, successful and cost effective.

Following is our high level off site Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC),

Proof Of Concept
Many of the customers find it very useful to build a proof-of-concept solution before embarking on a large project. This allows them to demonstrate the feasibility of the concept and gives them a product that they can demonstrate internally. In these cases we work with you to recommend proof-of-concept solutions quickly and at low cost.

Risk Management
When is considered in the context of Software Engineering, it is important to quantify the level of uncertainty and degree of loss associated with each risk to accomplish these different categories of risks considered like Project Risks, Technical Risks and Business Risks. Risk Identification, risk mitigation, risk monitoring and risk management are important steps to reduce the risks. Early in the life cycle of Software development, all risks associated with the project are identified, categorized and prioritized. Which then incorporated to SDLC process.

Configuration Management
The art of coordinating software development to minimize confusion is called Configuration Management. It is the art of identifying, organizing and controlling modifications to the software being built. The goal is to maximize productivity by minimizing mistakes. Gentle Solutions applied Software Configuration Management throughout the Software process, because change can occur at anytime, SCM activities are developed to identify change, control change, and ensure the change is being properly implemented.

Change Management
Change is the fact of life for large software systems. Organizations needs and requirement change during the life cycle of a system requires corresponding changes to be made to the software. There is therefore a need for a system to ensure that these changes will be recorded and applied to the system in a cost effective way.
