Our Expertise

Migrate your traditional build software development to the new technology platform and get better insights.

Software development is the whole end to end process. Mostly its to transform current manual human work into the newer way of automated processing. The software can be created which can make any computing task easy. Through Software development, we can eradicate major human errors and make the process smooth, fast and accurate. Majorly the need to make a software comes out of 2 situations 1) Task becomes tedious and takes a lot of human efforts. 2) Migrating old software.

Software Development Life Cycle

The software development life cycle (SDLC) is 7 stages.

• Planning
• Requirements gathering
• Design
• Development
• Testing
• Deployment, and
• Maintenance

Each stage holds significance in delivering and deployment of successful software.

SMG Infotech follows each stage precisely to deliver world-class error-free software. They have qualified UI/UX designers and developers in various technologies. They work in Python, JAVA, PHP, React.js, Node.js, Angular.js, Golang, etc. Due to its mix pool of technology developers, they can create a hybrid architecture to support the best of each technology. 

It has experienced QA to maintain the quality of the software throughout the development cycle. It engages the QA professional to keep a tap on quality and also continue with regression testing. SMG Infotech also has a separate DevOps team to make the deployment process continuous and smooth.

Methods of managing custom software development projects

There are various software development methodologies to drive the project. These are guiding principles that can drive the project on correct roadmap. It keeps all the involved stakeholders together moving on the same goal. However, every methodology has its unique characteristics. Major methodologies to choose from are described below:

• Additional feature approval version
  If new small features added along the run while development, it has to go through approval projects. These additional features are getting recorded and also approved by all Stakeholders. Its implications are also recorded on other relevant documents.
• Status check report
  This is a weekly report which traces the status against the plan and actual completed work. This is shared with all the stakeholders on a weekly basis.
• Developer notes
  These are the notes made by the developer within the code to understand the functions.
• Code commit notes
  Every commit from each developer has these notes stating the details of the commits. This helps in version control and also gives the ability for quick rollback.
• Test cases
  These are the cases made by our Expert QA professional. These are tested against each milestone released version.
• Bug reports with regression testing
