Software development has become more popular among the people who want to get customized software developed on their specific parameters. As we all known, the process of software development is nothing but an extension of software programming. In the process, a developer works on designing, writing, testing, troubleshooting and maintaining the source code of the software to be developed. As in the case of programming, a source code is included in developing a program, in addition to that, when it comes to developing software, it adds-on beyond programming where research and development is also added.
Software development in India is a popular practice and here developing software also includes activities like modification of the software for re-use and whenever needed developers also get involved into re-engineering as well. Making the software perfectly equipped with all the desired abilities is the prime motto of a software developer in India. Most of the time the developers undertake a bunch of activities and implement them in their course of work which help them to come up with better and error less results. These activities are:
* Understanding and analyzing the specific needs/problems of the customer
* Devising a strategic plan or design for the software-based solution
* Implementation (coding) of the software
* Test running of the software
* Deployment
* Maintenance and bug fixing (quality check)
The software development life cycle which is an integral and most important part of the process of developing software can be molded according to the specific needs of a customer. Apart from that, there are many other reasons why clients from western countries are seeking to outsource their development works to India. Low price rate for the labor they put on and excellent understanding of the Indian developers on every matter attract the foreign clients to India.
“Waterfall” approach which is specifically known as a structured approach or an extreme approach whatever way developers will take to serve the clients, the decision will be on the project the developers are working. Apart from that different other methodologies like Prototyping, Incremental, Spiral and Rapid Application Development (RAD) are also undertaken as per the requirements.
