Website Development Process
Posted by admin in Website Development on January 8, 2012
A website, in a way, is a software, which is developed for users on the World Wide Web. Therefore, for the website to come to its final stage, there are various stages through which the website has to go through. The website development process can be compared to software development. There are different website development process models, which can be used for website development. The common models include:
System Development Life Cycle
Prototyping Model
Rapid Application Development Model
UML Based Development Model
However, in most of the models the website development process goes through the similar phases. In some models two phases may be clubbed together to make one process or a process may be divided between two processes. Having said that let’s see the phases in web development.
Steps in Website Development Process
Every company follows standard methodologies, modeling tools, framework and languages for the website development process. The website development process plan does not differ a lot from software development process. Read the rest of this entry »

When the software industry was in its nascent stage, much importance was not laid on testing the software. It was often seen that there was a quick check carried out on the software and the software was handed over to the client. Testing the application was looked upon as waste of time and resources. It was simply done so that the item in the checklist of software development could be ticked. However, with passage of time importance of software testing is as much as that of developing a software. There are various reasons for this shift in attitude. We will not get into the details of the same here. We will rather focus on finding out why is software testing important.
What is the Importance of Software Testing?
Error Free Software: If an error free software has to be delivered to the client, software testing has to be carried out in detail. Even a small mistake in the software can have disastrous effects for the client. If a bank software has a mistake and gives out the wrong balance, it can cause trouble either for the bank or for the customer of the bank. For example, if the account details say 0 balance in the account, the customer will suffer. On the other hand, if an extra 0 gets added to the account balance, the bank will have to pay the customer the said amount. Therefore, it is of prime importance that there are no bugs in the software. Read the rest of this entry »
What is Software Development Life Cycle?
Posted by admin in Software Development on January 2, 2012
The Software Development Life Cycle is a step-by-step process involved in the development of a software product. It is also denoted as Software Development process in certain parts of the world. The whole process is generally classified into a set of steps and a specific operation will be carried out in each of the steps.
Classification
The basic classification of the whole process is as follows
Planning
Analysis
Design
Development
Implementation
Testing
Deployment
Maintenance
Each of the steps of the process has its own importance and plays a significant part in the product development. The description of each of the steps can give a better understanding. Read the rest of this entry »
