The custom software development process consists of many phases and may take different turns depending on the specifics of a particular project and the choice of project methodology. Let's try to sum it up in a nutshell. Every custom software development project starts at the ideation phase. It's a moment to understand your expectations and the ideas behind a particular solution. Based on the brainstorming sessions and series of meetings, we define the problems the solution should solve and define software requirements. Once we have a vision of the solution and its architecture, we head to the design phase. And once the prototype of the custom software solution is ready, we test it and implement necessary changes before the final product is released.
