Custom Software Development Bogotá Colombia

Steps to custom software development

To build a custom software development, a series of fundamental steps are required to reach a finished product, which completely fulfills the customer’s expectations. These steps can be summarized as follows:

1. Requirements gathering: This stage is fundamental to put in context the client’s specific software needs with its business process. This step can take several meetings with different stakeholders, site visits, information gathering of different types of information, the processes that are carried out, their outputs, etc. This is a fundamental step so that the customer’s requirements are fully understood, and can be translated into the language required by a programmer.
2. Definition of stages of the customized software: This allows to delimit the scope in well-defined phases or sprints, with clear deliverables, which will allow the delivery of the finished product by parts, which can go into production according to the customer’s priority.
3. Project planning: Once the project phases have been identified, the planning process begins, where the project plan, activity schedule, resources and costs to be used, delivery milestones, etc. are defined.
4. System design: The system designer is in charge of delimiting the different modules that will contain the system, programming languages, its graphic design, database design, connection interfaces against other modules or other systems, etc.
5. Construction: In this step the coding process of each of the phases begins, taking into consideration the information provided in the requirements survey and the system design. In the construction, consistency must be maintained with the members of the development team, code quality, repository management, versioning and change control.
6. DQA: Refers to the quality testing process of what has been built, taking into consideration compliance with requirements, usability, security, etc.
7. Documentation: In this step the necessary documents are created for the management of the system, either by the platform administrators, as well as by the end users.
8. Training: It is generally required to train administrators and end users on the platform in each phase of the project.
9. Delivery of the phase in production: At the end of each of the phases, the sprint is delivered in production, considering the necessary resources, maintenance windows, rollback procedures, backups and stabilization of changes.
10. Support and warranty: Each phase enters a period of support and warranty, where errors in the system’s operation are corrected. Steps 5 to 10 are repeated for each sprint in which the project has been divided.

All these steps for custom software development are subjected to PMI and CMMI project management methodologies, to ensure on the one hand the proper management of the project, and on the other hand the quality of the finished software.
