To better understand how we get from the first meeting to a finished product, the a typical development process is illustrated here.
Each stage of the process informs the next, and the entire process begins by looking at your business as a whole.
System Architecture: the general structure of the new system
Functional Specification: agreed scope and restrictions of the system: what it should achieve and how it should deliver these aims
Technology: ‘technology’ can be broadly understood to mean ‘software’ and its ‘programming language’
Technology Stack: a single solution would not use just one technology, but several. These can be thought of sitting in layers, or a stack, between the server and the user
Technical Specification: detailed ‘blueprint’ of how to achieve the Functional Specification within the chosen technology stack
Business Logic: the ‘rules’ the system needs to follow to meet business requirements
System Testing: technical testing to demonstrate that the developed system still meets the functional specification
UAT: User Acceptance Testing ensures the system meets requirements when used in a realistic scenario
