ABOUT

This client is the initiator of GessNet™ from US, he has extensive experience in the field of quality management and risk control.  He is mainly engaged in medical device quality control related consulting and training.

Our client plans to develop an automated and highly integrated risk management analysis software (RMF). The target customers of this software are medical equipment suppliers, manufacturers, consultants and related risk authoritative institution (FDA). There are a number of partners, who have extensive experience in the field, but the cost of developing is paid by the client himself. 

In the beginning of the project, the customer’s development team in US completed the database and architecture design. After understanding the advantages of our company's service quality and price, he gives us the outsourcing project to us.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Since 2011, Nova has been assisting the client in developing their software system. After the completion of the initial version, the client had a vision to package and sell it to medical enterprises. Through years of conceptualization by the client and continuous collaboration with Nova, the software system has continuously improved. However, due to outdated technology, Nova started assisting the client in a comprehensive system overhaul in 2021, resulting in significant improvements in performance and user experience. Thanks to the high-quality service provided, Nova gained the recognition of the client. As a result, the client has maintained a long-term partnership with Nova for over 10 years, and they still maintain a team of five people at present.

ISSUE AND SOLUTION

imagecommunication

ISSUE:

  1. Client is busy, limited time for communication.
  2. Highly specialized business knowledge.

 

SOLUTION:

  1. Client will invest 2-3 hours a day on the project, we will prepare for requirements understanding in advance, and then have voice communication with customers. After that we will send the communication result to client for confirmation. This is very high efficiency.
  2. Organize business knowledge, search on web and purchase books on business expertise. In the communication process we use prototyping tools, flowcharts to identify requirement with the client to ensure a consistent understanding of the requirements on both sides.
imageDocuments management

ISSUE:
1、No detailed requirement document
2、Unable to track requirement, design and test document


SOLUTION:
1、Requirements are raised mostly by oral expression, we will collate and summary form requirements into document.
2、In the middle of software development, we use the software's own function for document management. We use it to track design and test documentation; through this action we can also test the software function.

imageDevelop and maintenance

ISSUE:
1、DB design does not match business requirement completely
2、High coupling  of project framework , not conducive to expansion
3、Key function is complicated, hard to maintenance


SOLUTION:
1、After communication with client, database design was partial adjustment, so that it can be more adapt to business needs.
2、Restructure the frame and code to make the project robust and easy to expand.
3、encapsulates core functionality into business components, reduce duplication of code, improve project quality, and make maintenance easier 
 

imageQuality Control

ISSUE:
1、Client has special requirement on UI and design
2、Client wants trial users and partners to see more new features, but these features may also need to be continually optimized, we cannot deliver them to the product website 
3、It’s easy to loss document and remain not updated data when publish the final version.


SOLUTION:
1、organize UI and design requirements, according to the company's code standards, we set up the project specifications
2、In addition to deploying the product website, a test site and a trial site are deployed in order to meet customer demand. 
3、Publish the release process, follow the process during each release to ensure the correctness of release. Meanwhile release must be fully tested on the test site and the trial site until the product is deployed to the formal site.
