Software Development
DEFINE the problem to be solved.
DESIGN the solution.
BUILD, develop and test the solution.
MAINTENANCE agreement definition.
What is Define
The initial phase where requirements are gathered, and the scope of the project is defined. This involves understanding the client’s needs, identifying the problem to be solved, and determining the functional and non-functional requirements of the software.
What is Design
This phase involves planning and conceptualizing the solution. It includes creating architecture, designing the system components, user interfaces, and data structures. The goal is to produce a blueprint that guides the development team in building the software.Next, create high-level system diagrams, including context diagrams, component diagrams, deployment diagrams, and data flow diagrams, to visualize the architecture. Validate the architecture through stakeholder reviews to ensure alignment with requirements and goals. Build prototypes or proofs-of-concept to test critical architectural decisions and perform risk assessments to identify and address potential bottlenecks. Finally, develop comprehensive documentation that includes all diagrams, design decisions, and their rationale, along with detailed technical specifications for each component. This structured approach ensures the architecture is robust, aligned with goals, and ready for future development.
What is Build
The actual coding and implementation phase where developers write the code according to the design specifications. This phase includes unit testing, integration, and debugging to ensure the software functions correctly.
