Development activities progress sequentially with minimal iteration. User requirements are defined, and the system is designed, built, and tested in a single-time delivery approach. This document-focused method suits highly precedence systems with consistent requirements.
The waterfall model, also called the linear and sequential model, depicts a linear and sequential flow of activities. Each phase follows the completion of the prior one, without the ability to revert to a previous stage.
Software Development Process
We provide only what you need
The Software Development Process (SDP) is a systematic approach to creating software for projects or systems, encompassing methods like Waterfall, spiral, and incremental development. These approaches guide testing efforts across different development stages.
Our software development process is streamlined and effective: we inquire, resolve, and implement.
Our software development process is divided into five major steps.
- Step 1: Pre-Project Consulting
- Step 2: Engagement
- Step 3: Discovery
- Step 4: Development
- Step 5: Launch and support
Methodologies for Software Development
There are three major approaches to software development. They are as follows:
-
01. Waterfall Approach
-
02. Incremental Approach
Determines user requirements and defines the overall architecture, but then delivers the system in stages ("software builds"). The first build includes a portion of the total planned capabilities, the next build includes additional capabilities, and so on until the entire system is completed.
-
03. Spiral Approach
A risk-driven controlled prototyping approach in which prototypes are created early in the development process to specifically address risk areas, followed by an evaluation of the prototyping results and further determination of risk areas to prototype. User requirements and algorithm performance are two areas that are frequently prototyped. Prototyping will be carried out until high-risk areas have been resolved and mitigated to an acceptable level.
The system is explored in greater depth and more detail is added during each iteration or loop. Appropriate for exploratory projects involving unfamiliar domains or unproven technical approaches. Because iterative processes are used, knowledge gained during early passes can be used to inform subsequent passes. Low initial investment required.
Step 1: Pre-Project Consulting
How can we assist you?
Listening and asking questions is the first step in our custom software development process. We learn about your company and project to better understand your requirements and determine if Linkosys is a good fit. If we believe we can assist your organization, we will work with you to develop a preliminary proposal.
Step 2: Engagement
Prepare the paperwork
We'd like you to understand some important details about our services at this point, such as our project approach, costs, billing, and support. The majority of the information in this second step of our software development process is industry standard, but it's critical that both parties understand what to expect from each other during our time working together.
Step 3: Discovery
Gathering and planning intelligence
Your project begins long before we begin writing code. Coding is concerned with technologies and languages, but preparing for a software project entails a broader process of understanding your business, how you'll measure ROI, user needs, potential risks, and future opportunities. We'll accomplish this through discussion, sketching out workflows, and deciding on solutions.
Step 4: Development
Developing your product
All of our design and development practices are geared toward creating software that is maintainable, extensible, and simple to use. In this fourth step of our software development process, we start with the most important features to deliver the most value early on.
Step 5: Launch and support
The first release: You hire us to create custom software to earn or save money. Software cannot achieve either goal until it is released. We assist you in determining the best hosting, licensing, and distribution mechanism for your system during this stage of the custom software development process.
We're in it for the long haul: Whether you're a startup or have your own technical staff, we're here to help you maintain and extend your application over time. After the initial stages of the software development process are completed, our team will be available for ongoing assistance. Because of the high quality of our work, your maintenance costs will be minimal.
The easy part is that all of your software artifacts are kept in a repository. If we ever need to roll back a feature, we always have a safe, dependable landing point available.
