The purpose of the development phase will be to convert the deliverables of the planning phase into a complete information system. The development phase is basically when the developer puts in place the hardware, software, and communications environment for the system and other important elements of the overall system.
The development phase contains activities for building the system, testing the system, and conducting functional specification testing, to ensure the system satisfies the functional process requirements in the functional specifications document (see the Documents section to see an example of the functional specifications). At the end of this phase, the system will be ready for the testing phase.
All major steps in the development phase of a project must be fully completed in order to insure proper execution of the Nebraska.gov project methodology. This document will outline each of the steps necessary to complete the development phase of a project.
