Software product development

First Step Planning

At the first stage, the product development company works on identifying and analyzing the client’s idea, needs & expectations. We achieve this by the implementation of the core phase based on brainstorming, deep analysis, and defining the scope of the development. Before moving forward we need to verify that the idea could be successful before all investments are made. Also, our team should check whether the client has a clear vision of the process and the final product and forge it if it doesn’t exist.

Besides brainstorming and other tasks that should be performed, at the initial stage CyberCraft’s team finds out the most crucial details of the project:

• The scope, including specific goals, cost, deadlines, etc.
• The detailed plan of implementation.
• The ways to achieve business goals.

Planning & brainstorming are the appropriate stages to identify market needs, so any user research activity is useful here.

Second Step Requirements analysis

Development of the software solution with clean code and pleasant design is impossible without a clear understanding of project goals. We pay special attention to all types of requirements and the ability to enforce them while creating a new product. At this stage, all economical and technical aspects of the project are being discussed – from resources and time to the complexity of the solution.

Requirements analysis is mandatory for identifying risks, choosing the right strategy, and preparing well-structured documentation. Our experience proves that documentation with a clear structure, agreed upon with the client, ensures the smooth running process of cooperation.

Third Step Design phase

The concept of the software solution is reflected in a design that should correspond with project architecture and requirements. This stage of product development is also known as WEB design. If the high-fidelity design prototype that meets the customer’s requirements is ready, it’s time to move to another stage.

Fourth Step Development

Coding is known as one of the most responsible steps of software product development. At this stage, requirements have to be translated into the product. The code prepared by software developers must correspond with specifications. It’s possible only if tech specialists have enough experience, and all previous stages were implemented in the appropriate way. The other key to success here is the literate process of quality assurance.

Fifth Step Quality assurance

Quality assurance with manual and automated testing of the product is aimed to find out bugs and ensure the required level of quality. As usual, the testing phase is combined with the development in order to eliminate errors. QA engineers apply various tests. User acceptance and functionality testing are being combined with the systems integration. When the software product is bug-free, it’s time to move to the other stages.

Sixth Step Implementation and launch

Software is ready for production. The team of our software development company performs this task in accordance with the implementation plan. All components and data are being transferred to production. The peculiarities of the process depend on the type of the project – straightforward or staggered.

Seventh Step Maintenance

As soon as the product is released, there is a strong need to maintain the normal work of the software. At this stage, CyberCraft works on any updates and upgrades. Our team pays attention to polishing the solution and fixing bugs that can appear in the future. Maintenance includes adding new functionality that meets user’s expectations and needs. We provide you with dedicated professionals in software product development for hassle-free cooperation!.
