Digital project development phases
The production of Digital projects, such as Mobile Apps, Web platforms (websites, ecommerce, etc.), Intranet software, in order to be successful and to "land" on solid foundations, requires special focus in each of the phases listed below:Analysis of the client's request and feasibility study: through a blueprint document, to define all the business processes in written and graphical form and have a clear view of what the requirements are, the work needed, the goals and the expected results of the project. It is always necessary to be very aware of the client's needs and the limitations of software development, in order to identify the best solution from a functional and budgetary point of view.Software design: once the actual requirements have been studied and all the work needed for development has been analysed, the app or site is designed to be truly in line with the requirements. During this phase, the software architecture is established, taking into account the various systems and subsystems, interfaces, components, data structures, algorithms, etc.Software development: this is the phase where the software source code is written. Identifying milestones for progressive release is often useful and functional for design checks during development.Testing: this phase aims to check that the functioning of the site or application complies with all the specifications that were established in the analysis phase and that the design and coding are correct. Particular attention must be paid to the testing phase in developments where there are connections to IoT third-party objects via connections such as BLE, Wi-Fi, etc.: sensors, dongles, household appliances, car controllers, etc.Golive: Once the testing phase is over, the project is released, either publicly on stores or privately in the various internal distribution modes, and starts its operational life.Maintenance: The post-publication phase is very important. Updates to the various operating systems and web browsers affect the functionality of applications. An adequate maintenance programme can prevent problems arising from device software upgrades.
