Software Development Process and SDLC Process
Identification of Required Software
An organization should identify their specific requirements. They should have a clear picture, that for which requirement they are opting for the software. Team members should discuss them and then identify the business issues.

Analysis of the software requirements
After, identifying the requirements, conduct a proper analysis. Don’t decide in hassle, the foremost step is to figure out the challenges but now, sort out the ways to overcome them. Thinking logically, will surely help build the software that will solve those issues.

Practically, have a theoretical knowledge about software and have a logic by applying virtually in your mind that how it is going to sort your major issues. The decision’s at a fast pace can lead to you to high investment, after knowing about the software, try to figure out the features that are required for your business. As customized software decreased the cost of software development and offer features that are required for the business.

Detailed Specification of the software requirements
After analyzing your requirements, it’s time to specify your needs in detail. The detailed specification helps to bring clarity among organizations and also with hired software development companies. Sometimes, verbal communication can lead to high miscommunication but detailed knowledge on paper leads the development process to an accurate and reliable method.

So, don’t depend on the virtual imagination plan it in a Professional and specified way.

Software Design
Software is more than design and it should support the high functionality. Designing also plays an imperative part but the layout should be easy to use. The elements should not be so complex, as the software should be designed in such a way that every member of the organization and department can use it.

It should not be so complex with the technical issues as well as with the combination of color and fonts. To integrate the proper software design, designing architects work on it to design it perfectly. The design process is also further divided into three major parts:

*Interface Design *
Architectural Design
Detailed Design
Programming and Coders
Programmers are also known as coders and they are only responsible for the functionality of the software. They generate source code to run a different specific program with one other like merging databases, routing communications, and work on the reflect of text and graphics in a proper way on the screen.

Basically, software developers use popular programming languages like Java and C++.

Testing
Before launching the software to the enterprise it’s the developer’s responsibility to check the software functionality manually. Software development is a long process and involves various steps designing, coding, merging data and these all activities are related to each other. So, before launching the software to the companies test it manually as well as on public devices.

Hi, and thanks for writing that. Could you explain what the intention is? I mean, are those points how you handle SW development at your company or how you think it should be generally or point you think I’ve missed? Thanks
