We often write about how complex custom software projects can be, as they need clearly outlined requirements, carefully drafted roadmaps, and the flexibility to make adjustments when the developers encounter obstacles or the client requests a change. With all those moving pieces, it can be difficult to keep track of the scope—and cost—of the work. So, how can a software vendor and a client be sure they’re on the same page? The key is the service level agreement (SLA), which is a contract between vendor and client that specifies the details of the service expected during the engagement.

A software development team includes a variety of roles, each with unique responsibilities. You may hear these titles being thrown around as you search for a custom software vendor, but without a clear understanding of each role and how it operates, it can be difficult to make a confident decision. So, let’s take a look at the different roles and responsibilities on a software de-velopment team.
For a software vendor to successfully deliver an application to the client does not mean simply to finish building the application. Rather, closing out a project is a process of ensuring every point of the contract has been executed, all accompanying documentation prepared, and all work on the project is complete. Only once all the project goals are met—and the i’s are dotted and the t’s are crossed—can we consider the project to be complete. This usually coincides with the moment the project is launched and support starts.
Owing to the fact that testing is becoming a part of programming, developers are able to correct errors at the very early stages of development. This allows to decrease the risk of defects occurring in the end product. The earlier the process of testing is started, the earlier possible errors are found and the less it costs to correct them.
Without proper quality control, software products can cause significant harm to both the company that orders the development and owns the software, and to the end users. Financial loss and loss of brand confidence are just some of possible consequences.
Custom software, sometimes known as special software, is software specially created for a certain company or individual—as opposed to mass-market software such as commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions or free open-source software.
While companies across every industry can benefit from custom software, it may not be the perfect choice for every business. If you’re not sure whether your company could benefit from an investment in custom software, take a look at the pros and cons outlined in this blog post to help inform your decision.
