5 Important stages of software development you should know about

 2 min read

Software development is a complex process that involves many stages. For development of a successful software it is important to effectively plan, design, test and deploy the project. Let's cover these important stages in detail.


Software development is a comprehensive process, involving many steps. It is a complex and diversified process that requires in-depth knowledge and unmatched skills. As a beginner, understanding the software development process will offer you more clarity about the scope, opportunities, and challenges that will cross your path. This will help you challenge your learning capabilities and polish your skill sets. Here we have covered the important stages of the software development process. 


1. Plan Your Solution 
Plan out what you wish to achieve, set proper goals and define the ways to reach that goal. There are many types of software that you can learn to develop. From mobile learning software solutions to content management and knowledge management the possibilities are immense and you must plan out well. Planning can make all the difference as it will impact the type of software development you end up developing. 

2. Set up tool stack 
Once you are clear about the solution you want to work towards, you must start working on preparing your technology and tools stack. Apart from essential hardware components, there are a couple of software and tools that you will need to move ahead in your development process. Customising your stack as per your own needs will prove useful in the long run. 

3. Select the best programming language 
Once you have selected the technology stack, you can now select the best programming language. Today, many popular programming languages are being used by developers across the globe such as Python, JavaScript, Swift, etc. Programming involves constant learning and upskilling, so no matter which language you start with, eventually you will be required to delve into other languages as well. So choose a programming language as per the project requirements and take part in community discussions to keep yourself updated with the latest developments. 

4. Perform QA testing 
To test the functionality you will need to perform unity, integration, and regression testing. Also, it is crucial to conduct performance, load, testing as well. Performing these tests helps in preventing major setbacks that may impact the stakeholders' trust in the project. QA testing is important for the successful deployment of the software product. 

5. Prepare for deployment 
To make sure you are ready, you can run your project in a staging environment. You can automate the test and monitor the results. This allows you to rectify errors before rolling them out. Once everything is fixed you can securely deploy your software product.

Making open source JavaScript pay

Image
Money isn’t everything to the success of the most popular JavaScript frameworks. Or is it? Looking at the  2019 State of JavaScript report , something stands out: Money apparently can’t buy everything. Or, at least, not every major front-end and back-end programming framework is sponsored by a big company. Sure, we have Google to thank for  Angular , and Facebook gets credit for  React , but what about  Vue.js ? Or Gatsby? Or Next.js? While these (and other) open source projects do seem to suggest a future without Big Corps shoveling Big Money into open source, the reality is a bit more nuanced. For the developers looking to pay their way through open source, however, reality isn’t nuanced at all. For every Vue.js founder  Evan You making $16,000 per month with Patreon contributions , there are thousands of developers struggling to scrape together $16 for the important open source work they’re doing.

What Is Brutalism in Web Design?

3   min read   Brutalism is a special breed of web design, working well for quirky, creative brands and individuals. However, this rule-bending design technique must be employed with care. Read this guide to find out how. Brutalism is one of those trends that seems to come and go in web design. It’s not because there isn’t much value in brutalist design. It’s more that it doesn’t always fit with the style and tone of the times.  That’s part of what makes brutalism so intriguing though. When most websites tend to fall in line and adopt the same basic trends from year to year, a website that doesn’t play by the rules can easily steal the spotlight.  You just need to know whether that’s the right kind of light you want to shine on the brand. Brutalism can sometimes come off as cold and somber. If it’s not properly executed or not used for the right kind of brand, it can send the wrong signals to website visitors.  In this guide to brutalism in web design, we’l...

How artificial intelligence is making the education system more relevant?

Image
Digital learning solutions equipped with artificial intelligence are making revolutionary changes to the way education is imparted in students with varied interests and capabilities. When we think of artificial intelligence, there is a hardwired imagery of gigantic thinking machines working in sci-fi environment. This imagery often comes from the science fiction that we have been watching or reading since childhood. However, deep diving suggests that artificial intelligence is an advanced form of algorithm that empowers machines to emulate human behavior under real life situations. Today, there is no industry untouched by the ripples caused by artificial intelligence. Education sets the foundation of human behavior. Educational ecosystem is formed by knowledge base, teaching skills and experience, learning capability, and evolving teaching methods. Digital learning solutions equipped with artificial intelligence are making revolutionary changes to the way educat...
