Jesse Kyzar : Work

I am currently working as an application developer on the Web Development team for a New Orleans area company, Stewart Enterprises Inc., and have served in this capacity for about 10 years. We are primarily responsible for our corporate intranet and corporate website.

Our normal development process starts with the designer and myself meeting with the future application owners and stakeholders to gather requirements. We then analyze the manual workflow that our application will replace. Once the analysis is completed, the designer will write up the functional specs document, complete with wireframe mock-ups. We'll then review the functional specs with the owners and stakeholders to ensure the application will meet expectations. Once the owners approve the functional specs, the designer will begin building out the HTML templates while I design the data access objects and plan the business logic. When designer finishes the templates, I'll begin building out the application's functionality. After the application is built, we allow the owners and stakeholders an opportunity to BETA test the application; a process we refer to as UAT (User Acceptance Testing). This process is usually a short cycle of the owners and stakeholders requesting enhancements, us implementing the enhancements, then having them retest. Once the owners are satisfied with the results and sign off, the next phase is planning a formal QC process, in which I'm occasionally called up to write a test plan. Following the QC process, the application goes into production company-wide or undergoes a phased rollout.

Below are a few examples of projects we've complete.
