Allow Foreignerds to Manage Your Full Product Lifecycle

Foreignerds extends its product lifecycle management (PLM) services to cater to businesses of varying sizes – small, mid-sized, and enterprise-level – connecting integral elements: people, processes, and essential data critical to your manufacturing and production workflows

Requirement Analysis & Extraction

Our developers offer a comprehensive view of your software project’s scope, meticulously defining and documenting software requirements and feasibility details within a detailed software requirement specification (SRS) document.

Architectural Planning

Designers craft either a high-level design (HLD) or a low-level design (LLD) document amalgamating key details from the SRS document, incorporating improvement feedback, interface relationships, module information, and other crucial elements.

Development & Coding

Our proficient developers construct the entire software system by employing specific programming languages such as Python or JavaScript, integrating custom-coded modules, compilers, debuggers, interpreters, and other essential components.

Thorough Quality Assurance

The software undergoes rigorous testing within a dedicated environment where our QA and testing teams identify bugs and defects, collaboratively addressing issues with developers to ensure the software’s stability.

Seamless Installation & Deployment

Seasoned developers, engineers, and programmers perform final edits and adjustments before deploying the software to the production environment for distribution across relevant application marketplaces.

Ongoing Maintenance & Support

Post-deployment, our IT support experts diligently provide ongoing support and maintenance, ensuring the software system operates according to the detailed specifications outlined in the software requirement specification (SRS) document.
