WE BELIEVE IN HARD WORK.

NORMALLY THE PROCESS OF OUR ACTIVITIES AND WORK IS BASED ON 3 STEPS WHICH ARE VERY FAST AND QUALIFIED“ 1. REFERRING TO THE CONCERNED DEPARTMENT. 2. ANALYSING THE PROCESS 3. PROCESS.

FIRST, WE WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT IS SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND THE CHALLENGES CONNECTED TO THIS PART.

What is software development?

Software development refers to a set of computer science activities dedicated to the process of creating, designing, deploying, and supporting software.

The software itself is the set of instructions or programs that tell a computer what to do. It is independent of hardware and makes computers programmable. There are three basic types:

Application software (applications or apps) to help users perform tasks. Examples are office productivity suites, data management software, media players, and security programs. Applications also refer to web and mobile applications like those used to shop on Amazon.com, socialize on Facebook, or post pictures on Instagram.1

Software developers have a less formal role than engineers and can be closely involved with specific project areas — including writing code. At the same time, they drive the overall software development lifecycle — including working across functional teams to transform requirements into features, managing development teams and processes, and conducting software testing and maintenance.

The work of software development isn’t confined to coders or development teams. Professionals such as scientists, device fabricators, and hardware makers also create software code, even though they are not primarily software developers. Nor is it confined to traditional information technology industries such as software or semiconductor businesses.

An important distinction is custom software development as opposed to commercial software development. Custom software development is the process of designing, creating, deploying, and maintaining software for a specific set of users, functions, or organizations. In contrast, commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS) is designed for a broad set of requirements, allowing it to be packaged and commercially marketed, and distributed.

Steps in the software development process

Developing software typically involves the following steps:

  • Select a methodology to establish a framework in which the steps of software development are applied. It describes an overall work process or roadmap for the project.
  • Gathering requirements to understand and document what is required by users and other stakeholders.
  • Choosing or building architecture as the underlying structure within which the software will operate.
  • Developing a design around solutions to the problems presented by requirements, often involving process models and storyboards.
  • Building a model with a modelling tool that uses a modelling language like SysML or UML to conduct early validation, prototyping, and simulation of the design.
  • Constructing code in the appropriate programming language. Involves peer and team review to eliminate issues early and produce quality software faster.
  • Testing with pre-planned scenarios as part of software design and coding — and conducting performance testing to simulate load testing on the application.
  • Managing configuration and defects to understand all the software artefacts (requirements, design, code, test) and build distinct versions of the software. Establish quality assurance priorities and release criteria to address and track defects.
  • Deploying the software for use and responding to and resolving user issues.
  • Migrating data to the new or updated software from existing applications or data sources if necessary.
  • Managing and measuring the project to maintain quality and delivery over the application lifecycle, and to evaluate the development process with models such as the Capability Maturity Model.

The steps of the software development process fit into application lifecycle management (ALM). The IBM Engineering Management solution is a superset of ALM that enables the management of parallel mechanical, electrical, and software development.

  • Requirements analysis and specification
  • Design and development
  • Testing
  • Deployment
  • Maintenance and support

 

Software development process steps can be grouped into the phases of the lifecycle, but the importance of the lifecycle is that it recycles to enable continuous improvement. For example, user issues that surface in the maintenance and support phase can become requirements at the beginning of the next cycle.
