Build Your App
For a Fixed Price

Software development with SaaS VP is truly for a fixed price.
If we underquote or underdeliver we do the rest of the work for FREE. No questions asked!

43% of Software Projects Go Over Budget
and 57% Deliver Less Value than Projected

These are the sad statistics of the software development industry. Many projects fail and of the ones that do not, many go significantly over budget.

At SaaS VP we understand this problem, and therefore offer you a FIXED PRICE option for developing your application, while still working agile. Our process is designed around visually representing specifications and works in succession to ensure an experience that will delight you as well as your users.

Prototyping

A clear vision is the easiest path to success.

All great movements and organizations start with a clear vision. Your software should not be any different. We will help you design a realistic semi-interactive prototype that helps you visualize an implementation of the application you want to develop.

Besides a clear vision of the end product, the prototype contributes to the development process in several other useful ways.

Turn Months of Design and Discussions into Weeks

Designing an application can be a daunting task. Transform your specs into an interactive visual representation to get everyone on the same page fast.

Avoid Writing Tiring Specification Documents

Tightening down the requirements so that everyone understands them the same is almost as difficult as writing the application itself.

A Useful Tool to Estimate the Engineering Effort

Prototype tells you what the application does; It helps the architect think of the best solution to the problem/s. A tool to estimate work that goes into developing and testing.

Validate Ideas Before Coding, & Test User Reactions

A team with a variety of skill sets would be needed to execute. Semi-interactive prototype lets you test your ideas on prospective users before you write the code.

Strip Functionality That You Don’t Need.

A prototype helps drill down to the core functionality needed to monetize your apps. Reduce development costs by focusing on the high-value features only.

Low Cost of Change

A designer may only take hours to design a page with the same basic interactions. A developer may take a week or more to do the same in actual code.

Walking Skeleton

Prevent expensive mistakes.

At SaaS VP, in the second phase we develop the UI of the system, and we call this the Walking Skeleton.

When developing the walking skeleton, the details that are missed in the prototype will become more obvious. In nearly all software, the user is the initiator of actions in the system and therefore this is the best place to start a project. Starting with the UI comes with a multitude of the benefits.

Save Time & Money

The UI by itself may uncover some problems that were not obvious in the prototype. It is best to uncover problems as early as possible. If the back-end is not written yet, no need to rework which saves at least 50% of the time.

Focused Development, by a Small- Skilled Team

We do not think about the back end at this stage, the team doesn’t have to worry about this. Less discussions, less overhead, less time spent. Specialist developers that are highly skilled in this part can develop the app effectively and efficiently.

Early Feedback from Users

When the system under development is available online and the stakeholders are actually using it on different devices, browsers or operating systems – you may experience deviations from the design due to the way the browser, operating system or device behaves.

Easy to Test

When the UI is completed, we can start with creating automated acceptance tests. When the back end is implemented these tests should stay the same and can be reused from the first phase of the project until all the acceptance criteria are implemented.

Missed Details will Surface

The prototype is a great way to represent your application, however, it is not an actual application. While developing the walking skeleton we may find some gaps in the workflow or the need to present some additional information. Change at this stage

Architectural & Technical Recommendations

This is a document that serves as the implementation manual for the development team. It can serve as technical documentation and contains the design patterns, technology stacks, infrastructure and hosting cost. It is a useful document that explains the big idea behind the system, and the clear boundaries and interfaces of the system.

The document clarifies the following:

High-Level Architecture

A visual representation of the application architecture and a brief explanation of the main flows through the applications’ services and major components.

Special Skills and/or Training Needs

Many applications look and feel the same however many of them require unique solutions in the core of the application to deliver a great experience at the expected scale. The document will help clarify special skills or training needs for the team to execute your project.

Main Technical Scenarios

Applications benefit from similar solutions being deployed to various problems. This will reduce the maintenance cost and the ability to onboard new engineers on the project at a faster pace. In this section, the main technical scenarios are worked out in

Estimated Hosting Cost

Your application will be architected in a variety of independent services to prepare for scale and maintainability. Each of these services will need to be hosted somewhere, and we provide you with an estimated cost per service.

Design Patterns

As a company, we pride ourselves in our development practices. Design patterns are common problem solvers for technical challenges. Ideally, all individual solutions will leverage one or more patterns to provide solutions that are easy to maintain.

Security

These days a lot of security concerns can be addressed by infrastructure, however for the completeness of the document we reiterate the security matrix and the default behaviors to avoid data leakage.

Implementation & Integration

The previous 3 phases are designed to iteratively collect the true requirements of the system. Now it’s time to get to work. In this phase, we create and implement the back-end features of the system and integrate the walking skeleton. This phase is by far the most of the work and takes the widest variety of skill sets to complete.

Fast Feedback Cycles

We believe strongly in agile methodologies and that the best decisions are made on actual feedback. With basic DevOps we can ensure that the latest version of your application is available online so we can get feedback as soon as the developer has submitted

Fast Turnaround

Let’s face it. Most applications use a lot of similar functionality. Everyone app will need to send an email and every field needs validation. We have our own libraries to make this boilerplate work faster and therefore cheaper.

Insights in Progress and Quality

Information is key to managing software projects. We leverage online tools to create near real-time visibility in both the progress of the project as well as the quality of your source code.

Testing, Automation & Refactoring

Although we deliver the product in the previous phase with at least 80% test coverage and a high maintainability index, there is always room for improvement. In order to deliver a robust and well-groomed product we take the time to dot some I’s and cross the T’s.

Enable the Gated Check-in.

A gated check-in is an automated development operation that ensures that the source code that is submitted by developers meets certain quality requirements. After the project is finished, we can enable this so that the new code that is submitted meets

Refactor

During a fast-paced agile development process with steep deadlines, it is possible that some technical debt is created. We will review the system and address any if found before it starts carrying interest.

Release with One Click

Although we leverage automated releases throughout the development cycles of the application, it is essential that the release of a new version is also fully automated. People make mistakes that can have disastrous results, computers do not make these

Automation of Development Operations

Save time and money by automating some of the development operations that you do. There are a few more and its usefulness also depends on the project. The key take away is obviously to automate where the trade-off makes sense.
