Crafting success, our 15-Step software building process
Dive into our streamlined process of software building, meticulously designed across 15 essential steps. From conceptualization to deployment, each phase is a testament to our commitment to excellence. At every step, we prioritize transparency and collaboration, ensuring your involvement and satisfaction throughout the journey.
15 steps
Understanding
We should start by Understanding the current system's workflow and finding the pain points of all the different departments and individuals involved, beginning with the customer. Businesses should be prepared to accommodate all types of customers according to their needs. We should understand the system keeping in mind all the different capacities and disabilities.
Generate ideas
When we have all the requirements and points mapped we should consider each one and make ideas on how to handle or solve it. It is vital that we note down all the sane and insane ideas that come across. a large When they were trying to make horses faster cars were demonic. Thinking about a nuclear-powered flying saucer might be insane now.
Competitive analysis
Competitive analysis can help you learn the ins and outs of how your competition works and identify potential opportunities where you can outperform them. It also enables you to stay atop of industry trends and ensure your product is consistently meeting — and exceeding — industry standards.
Decide and schedule
To achieve maximum efficiency, it is crucial to prioritize tasks of high importance and address lower-priority tasks later. It will depend on the priorities of the business; some might need to prioritize revenue for some it would be customer satisfaction. Key stakeholders need to prioritize ideas based on the potential impact of technology on the business.
Budget properly
The technology consultant is responsible for breaking down ideas into tasks and setting a timeline for their completion. However, it is advisable to collaborate with the developer team and conduct a vote to determine the estimated time required for each task. A budget can now be prepared considering the time taken by the developers and the costs involved
Design
The first step to development is to design how each application section should be presented. A user experience designer should be able to draw wireframes of the screens keeping all these factors in mind. Once the wireframes are ready and validated the designer can build a high-resolution design that will help you see how it will look like.
Documentation
Documentation of all the requirements including the issues, solutions, and details about the data fields should be strictly documented to make it an easier process to complete a project. We should document the terms if the application is developed externally.
Prototype
Once the design phase is complete, it's time to transform your vision into a tangible prototype. By creating a prototype, your team can work together to identify any issues and provide feedback to correct them. The primary objective is to visually showcase the final product, ensuring that it aligns with the ideators' original plan and minimizes deviations.
Data modeling
Data modeling is the process of designing a database system that meets the specific needs of an organization. It is the Data Models that have a major role in determining how fast a report can be generated from the data stored in the system. This helps ensure that the data is stored efficiently and can be retrieved quickly and accurately. Overall, data modeling is an important step in creating a database system that works well for the organization.
Develop with test
We should start the development or the implementation of the project only after we have all the requirements ready. Development is to be done in a Test-driven mode where the developer writes tests to satisfy the requirements before writing a code making sure that future changes to a code don't bring unintended bugs. After the development of each small module, a testing team will have to do another set of tests to ensure the quality of output including code and design consistency. The code quality and designs have to be properly monitored during development by a project manager.
UAT and BAT
Testing if the application developed is according to the needs of the user or the business and covers all the requirements being considered.
Build help files
Don’t think everybody is a 007 who doesn't need a manual. We need to build help files explaining how to work with each feature of the application. Be it a small application or a large one. Text or visual help files need to be built.
Release
A proper introduction of the software and explaining why and how to the users is very important to move people from the current method to the use of the software. The users might need a push to start using the software.
Collect feedback
The next major part of the development is to make sure that the application is performing very well and find the areas of improvement. For this rather than depending on the small team of developers and testers the best option is to get feedback from the users.
Process evolution
Your application will have life only if it grows and updates to user requirements. The first iteration will only create a basic application. To improve the business and make it more manageable the application has to improve and evolve. But improving user experience, features, security, validation, and autosuggestions. AI features, data templates, etc. Constantly invest in technology and your business will be more manageable and productive by the day.
