Common procedures for software development

Software development plays vital role in all the industries like Airline, Railways, Insurance, Hospitals, Finance, and Banking. In software development all the companies will have their own standards or own Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). SDLC is used for two main services, one is for developing a software product and another is for developing or customizing a software applications.

Developing a software product is equivalent to catching a big fish. To deliver a software product we need SDLC and apart from SDLC we have several things to be considered on developing a software product. Below are the few basic points which allow us to set up a boundary to develop software.

#Innovative
#Products and Values
#Software Automation
#Documenting manual operations
#Research and Development
#Matching SDLC and product
#End to End Solutions

1. Innovative

To develop a software product, a developer or management should have a caliber to give innovative solution, which adds a value to the product. To deliver an innovative product one should first collect all the requirements in the existing product and proceed to find a new innovative solution and implement on the product. If the product comes out with a few innovative solutions then the products can survive as long as possible.

2. Products and Values

To add a value to the product either a product should have robust features or covered and polished with actual requirements, implementing additional or extensive features will also be help to increase the value of the product. In the existing product you can figure out the missing features and add those features to enhance the product. At the time of analyzing the product, it is not matter who delivered the product even it could be ours but it is matter to finding out missing features and adding the features to the new product.

3. Software Automation

Software Automation could be covered with the entire business process and could be combined with several automated solutions like services or jobs or schedulers. If a product has several automated solutions then it must have responsibility to bring up the faults or failed automated solutions to the customer visibility so that customer can easily work it on failed jobs or services. All automated solutions should not affect the product because of computer configurations or other application settings, Product should have control to setting up the automated solutions. A success of software product is mostly depends on the software automation.

4. Documenting manual operations

Creation of several documentations for software development will be helpful to give full optimistic ideas about the product. In documentation, we can see all the diagrams, flowcharts, programs, design document, requirement analysis, testing, QA, management etc., these types of documentation shows and navigates the flow of developing a product and provides a strong support for a product. Some of the few more documents will help the customer to understand about the product very well. Outlining the product scope and features in the documentation will strengthen the customer relationship. Documentation takes extra care while developing a software product.

5. Research and Development

Research and Development (R & D) is a part of software development and helps the team to evolve accurate product. R & D team will be working for how to deliver a complex solution rapidly. Software programmer or entire management team can bring up the R & D solution. There are three basic steps to achieve the R & D solutions.
1. Create Algorithms and flow charts.
2. Proof of Concept
3. Implementation and Testing
It is must to fix an accurate and extended time frame to work on R & D solutions otherwise it may end up with improper results or endless.

6. Matching SDLC and product

SDLC is required for any kind of software development. Product cannot be accurate or reliable if any of the SDLC is not used. It is better to put an extra care like matching right SDLC to a right product.

7. End to End Solutions

Developing Software Product is decomposed to complete set of solutions. Each solution has its own operations or set of operations from one end to another end and it is covered on basis of the product requirement. After combining all the solutions into one unit without any gaps between them and developed based on complete business needs is said to be End to End solutions.
