Its objective is to offer the customer a solution that solves the problem in question, bringing a product with quality and cost benefit. For this, it is essential to define objectives and strategies that optimize the development process from the beginning to the end.
Each code has its own characteristics and needs to be managed carefully. There are ways to define a standardized path to follow, avoiding unforeseen events that hinder the delivery and quality of the final product. Check below what are the software development processes and what are their benefits.
It is a set of activities that aims to define, develop, test and maintain the software. They are essential to guarantee the success or failure of a software.
You need to have a clear sense that some tasks can be done in parallel, while others cannot. Establishing the processes and defining when and by whom they will be carried out is the first step. In order to have a more objective view of how this occurs - both the order of execution and the relationship between the processes - we will deal with each of them further ahead.
When planning and establishing processes, your company guarantees the quality of the software that will be delivered. The processes facilitate the management and control of development as a whole.
As different as the projects are, it is crucial that there is a reference to guide the work of the developers. Consequently, the cost of the project tends to be lower, since the use of time and labor is optimized. With that in mind, we separate the essential processes for any development company. Check out!
his step aims to facilitate the understanding of the problem and give a vision of what will be built to solve the problem. Developers and customers must raise and prioritize the future needs of software users, defining the necessary requirements. A detailed study of the data is carried out to ensure the understanding of the client's real needs so that the rest of the processes flow.
In this phase, the validation and verification of the built models should also be carried out, before starting to solve the problem.
Validation: aims to ensure that the software system is meeting the client's real needs;
Verification: verifies that the models built in the analysis are in compliance with the customer's requirements.
After having the requirements defined and aligned with the needs of the customers, we move on to the project.
It is at this stage that it must be considered, how the system will work internally, so that the customer's requirements can be met. Some aspects must be considered as: system architecture, programming language used, database management system used, graphic interface standard, among others. In the project, a computational description is generated, mentioning what the software should do, and it must be consistent with the description performed in the requirements analysis phase.
Every company must be customer focused and results oriented. Planning is one of the fundamental pillars that guarantee these values. The planning process is fundamental for the success of a software development, because with it the chance of success is 3 to 4x greater, and it is undoubtedly the stage that has more disciplines and professionals involved. The deliverables for this step are flow documents, wireframes and business descriptions.
All products, whether software or not, that have been successful today have gone through a design stage. In this phase, User Experience (UX) and User Interface Design (UI) must be considered, fundamental to the success of a software development. With it the chance of success is 3 to 6x higher. The deliverables for this stage are screen prototypes and graphic objects.
Software development can be reduced to programming. In this step, the system is coded from the computational description of the design phase in another language, where it is possible to compile and generate the executable code for software development. The Development stage has several sub-stages within it, they are: UML Analysis; Data Modeling and Programming.
The main one to be delivered in this stage is a software ready to be tested.
Several tests are performed in order to validate the software product, testing each functionality of each module, searching, taking into account the specification made in the design phase. The deliverables for this stage are the test script and a spreadsheet with your results.
Finally, the deployment is about installing the software in the user's environment. Including system manuals, importing data into the new system and training users to use the system correctly and appropriately. This is where software design stops being technology and becomes a business, a real solution to the user's demands.
In this step the planned functions were developed, tested and implemented. Now is the time to adjust and adjust to new business demands. Bugs may still appear, with a need to act quickly so that the user is not impacted. The deliverables for this step are bug reports, uptime and hours worked.
