Software Application Development (SAD)

A software development process is a structure imposed on the development of a software product. Synonyms include software lifecycle and software process (SP). There are several models for such processes, each describing approaches to a variety of tasks or activities that take place during the process. Established by the DOD (Department of Defense) the "Waterfall Model" or what's commonly referred to as the SDLC (Software/Systems Development Life Cycle) is used by the S.E.E.D.^© Technology Center Development Team.

A decades-long goal has been to find repeatable, predictable processes or methodologies that improve productivity and quality. Some try to systematize or formalize the seemingly unruly task of writing software. Others apply project management techniques to writing software. Without project management, software projects can easily be delivered late or over budget. With large numbers of software projects not meeting their expectations in terms of functionality, cost, or delivery schedule, effective project management is proving difficult.

Thus our approach, the best-known and oldest process is the waterfall model, where developers (roughly) follow these steps in order:

• state requirements
• analyze them
• design a solution approach
• architect a software framework for that solution
• develop code
• test (perhaps unit tests then system tests)
• deploy, and
• Post Implementation.

After each step is finished, the process proceeds to the next step. Our Software Development process is to translate a users need or marketing goal into a software product. This is why it is important to understand both processes and/or facilitate collaboration between both engineering and marketing in the total software development process. Engineering and marketing concerns are often balanced in the role of a project manager, that's why here at S.E.E.D.^© Technology Center we are thoroughly familiar and use the methods and models for system, software, project and configuration management.

We provide custom programming and software engineering services. Our company has a wide experience in custom database programming, distributed website and web application development, and many our engineers have over 20 years field experience.
