The steps involved in developing custom software are:
1. Requirements gathering: This stage involves identifying and documenting the specific needs and requirements for the software.
2. Analysis and design: In this stage, the requirements are analysed and a design for the software is created. This design includes a plan for the overall architecture of the software, as well as the specific modules and components that will be developed.
3. Implementation: This is the stage where the actual software development takes place. Code is written, tested, and integrated into the overall system.
4. Testing: In this stage, the software is tested to ensure that it meets the requirements and is free of defects.
5. Deployment: Once the software has been tested and is deemed ready for release, it is deployed to the intended users.
6. Maintenance: After deployment, the software must be maintained to fix bugs and make improvements.
Some development methodologies, such as Agile, involve continuous iterative cycles of these steps, with testing, deployment, and maintenance happening at various points throughout the development process.
Software development cost depends on a variety of elements, including the complexity of the software, the development model, third-party integrations, and the features that must be included at the UI/UX level.
