Where do I start with a bespoke software development?

Undertaking a bespoke software development project can seem like a daunting task. At Codel Software we believe this shouldn't be the case.

The first step is simply contact us and discuss your requirement with no obligation in more detail. We can manage the process for you, after all software development is our business, this allows you to get on with your business.

Before you financially commit to the software development project, we will provide you with a cost proposal for the whole project, there will be no hidden costs. On acceptance of the cost proposal, all bespoke development projects adhere to our fully transparent development process:

Requirements Phase

One of the most important tasks in development of a bespoke software solution is gathering and defining the business requirements. Our company undertakes extensive discussions with all the relevant departments in the organisation and defines the business requirement that suits the customer's needs. A clear business requirement initiates the software development process and is instrumental in delivering quality solutions.

Design & Architecture Phase

Design and Architecture is the activity of defining the functional and/or technical definition needed to develop the solution that meets the customer's requirements. Codel Software ensures that the solution not only satisfies the current business requirements, but also supports anticipated future needs. We also guide our customers to understand available technologies and suggest appropriate platforms, servers and software that fit the customer's business.

Development & Coding Phase

The most important phase of the software development process is the development or coding of the solution that meets the requirements of the customer. This includes designing the user interface (UI), the data store and coding the business rules and algorithms. We ensure that the user interface is intuitive, fits within the culture of the organisation and that the code is well structured for future enhancements and maintainability.

Quality Assurance & Software Testing Phase

As an ISO 9001:2008 organisation, we understand that quality assurance is an integral part of any software development project. In order to ensure the quality of the solution, Codel Software undertakes extensive testing right through the development and coding, to the implementation phase of the software development process. Our Testing services include:

• Unit Testing
• Integration Testing
• System Testing
• Regression Testing
• Functional Testing
• Performance Testing
• Load Testing
• Compatibility Testing
  
  

Implementation Phase

We can provide deployment scripts and installation instructions as part of the standard deployment of the solution. We provide all necessary assistance during the implementation of the software system. Codel Software can also provide training and support to the user base or internal 'champions', to shorten the learning curve.

Maintenance & Support Phase

The Support and Maintenance start after the warranty period in the software development life-cycle. With technological advancements and changing business needs, software application maintenance becomes an evolving process. On the other hand, continuous maintenance is essential to ensure that the software performs at the optimum level.
