🥝 Ever wondered what is involved when building bespoke software?
1. Initial Consultation
The initial consultation period is when we get a chance to really understand what you are looking for. If you have not created one already, we guide you through the process of creating an SRS (Software Requirement Specification) document that will be constantly used as a reference throughout the design & development of the project.
2. Design mock-up & Visual prototype
In this phase, we design a mock-up and refine it until you are happy with the overall style of the application. After that, we create a visual prototype, a non-functional version of the application that you can click around so that you know precisely what you will be getting before we begin development.
3. Development
As you can probably guess, this is the phase where we turn the non-functional prototype into a fully functioning application. This is the longest phase in the project and you will be kept up to date with progress meetings as we hit each milestone.
4. Testing & Quality Assurance
In this phase, we test and refine the software until it meets our quality standards. Here we also conduct beta testing of the application to gather user feedback and fix any issues that people may have before release. This is also the first phase where you will get your hands on the application so that you can test that it meets expectations.
5. Product Launch/Migration
Depending on whether you are getting an application built for internal use or to be sold on to customers, in this phase we will either launch your application to the various stores or migrate you over from your old processes to the new application. We can also optionally market the product and can even develop a website to launch too if that is something you require.
6. Maintenance & Refinement
All applications need maintenance to ensure their smooth and reliable running. Some clients opt for a simple maintenance plan where systems are constantly monitored to detect any potential issues before they become a problem whereas others opt for more of a constant refinement plan where the software is iteratively improved as more feature requests come in from users.
