Design

• Plan the overall structure for the application.
• Define technical specifications to cover any unique client-based or server-based processing.

Build & Test

• Develop the custom application using "rapid application development" techniques.
• Solicit frequent feedback from users during development.

• Test the overall application, under a variety of circumstances.
