Identify the problem: Research is conducted to determine how the application will solve a problem for the intended audience, who are typically called end users.
Plan and gather requirements: The budget and resource needs are determined.
Design: Details and requirements for the application are documented in a planning template.
Develop: Coding begins! And coding continues.
Test: Testing is an essential part of the development process to ensure that the application runs correctly. Issues are documented and fixed, and the application is tested iteratively until it reaches an agreed upon standard for the public.
Deploy: The application is published and made available to the end users. Additional tests can be done during this stage to ensure that there are minimal errors when it is released.
Maintain: Like with any other product, maintenance is a large part of the software development process. Developers run tests and write code to improve performance and other features, and monitor customer feedback for issues and suggestions.
