Making software or developing an application that fulfills certain business needs is essential to survive in today’s business environment. Custom Software Development is the process of conceptualizing, constructing creating and deploying software to one particular person or group of people within an organization or in an external third-party arrangement.Custom software is developed to meet the specific needs of users’ requirements and is thought to be superior to commercial off-the-shelf products (COTS). Because COTS is geared towards a wider range of needs, it’s perfect for a larger audience. Off-the-shelf software is marketed and advertised so that various companies can incorporate them into their daily enterprise applications. One of the greatest examples of Off-the-Shelf software is Microsoft Office since it is able to meet a larger user’s needs on a global scale.

However, every business requirement can’t be generalized. Particular teams and business processes do have specific sets of requirements that require specialized solutions. This is the place where custom software development can find its place in. For instance, portals for course modules for students or specific industry-specific ecommerce software to streamline the shopping experience are customized software suites.

Custom software design and development is governed by an agile method. The development phase begins when the technical and visual designs are complete. The user stories for all the development process are created using the Kanban board. Our developers utilize XCode, Android Studio, Visual Studio, or WebStorm IDE to write code. The code is regularly committed and uploaded to GitHub and Bitbucket.

Following the commit of code the code is subjected to code review by the developers. After the code review is completed, the repository triggers to trigger the Jenkins Process for continuous integration. The builds are delivered continuously to be tested using the interim tools. Testers install the releases on the test devices and search for problems and bugs. The issues are then pushed to the backlog of Jira and the entire procedure is repeated. Continuously delivering and testing software allows for rapid development.
