DESIGNING THE SOFTWARE
SOFTWARE DEPLOYMENT
04
The design stage is important because it prescribes
how the software will function and appear. This
is where product designers come in. This team is
responsible for making the software appealing and user friendly,
usually by creating a design plan. A review of the design plan and
feedback are necessary to ensure that the plan aligns with the
project’s goal. It also determines how users are likely to interact
with the software.
07
Upon confirmation that the software works well, it
will be delivered to the targeted users. The product
is ready to use in this phase. However, organisations are
responsible for choosing how to deploy their software products any
marketing that may be necessary. This could be a portal to process
an action, an application available on a device, or a webpage.
MAINTENANCE
05
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Software developers are responsible for the success
of this phase. Developers are responsible for writing
codes and building the software. A major part of the
job is ensuring that they stick to the software requirements and
eliminate any errors they encounter.
08
This is the post-development stage where the
software has been released and is in use. Maintenance
is essential to ensure that the software remains efficient
and valuable to users. The goal of the maintenance stage is to fix
errors not detected during testing and to innovate.
TESTING STAGE
06
The code written by the developers is tested to
ensure they correlate with the software requirements.
Testing is done to ensure that the software does what it
was intended for. Testing allows for the detection and elimination
of any bugs and/or other technical glitches
