IOWAccess Advisory Council Funding Process: Execution
Step 4: Execution
Execution is the final phase in the development process, where the application is constructed by developers using the documents from the previous phases. The end result, the application software, is ready for testing, deployment and closure.
Agency staff works with ITE staff or other ITE professionals to complete the following steps:
- Testing. The Test Plan is used to see if the application performs as expected. Such factors as ease of use, disability accessibility, performance, expected outcomes, and appearance are all considered.
- Deployment. Rollout to the public user takes place. During this period, any “bugs” may be repaired and slight modifications may be made based on user feedback. Any extended modifications will require another request for funding from the Council, usually at the Planning phase.
- Closure. The project development items are archived and an assessment is done that may be useful in future applications.
