What is web application development?
Web Application. A web application is a client–server software application that a client can access using a web browser. Web Application Development is the creation of app that resides on remote servers and is delivered to the user's device over the Internet.
Web apps are centralized applications, where all data and business logic resides on a central server.
The Importance and benefits of web application development. Convenience of using a browsers as a client is one of the most important advantages that you have with a web application. Everybody has a browser running on almost any device that they own, from desktop, to tablet to phone. And there's inherent cross platform compatibility in today's browsers content delivered to just about any browsers going to render in that browser nowadays. You have an ability to update and maintain web apps without disturbing the installed based on potentially thousands of client computers as long as you make sure that your web app works on current generations of browsers everything will be fine. And there's reduction in IT cost by going to a web app because of mentioned reasons. Much easier to maintain applications that are meant to be deployed as web applications. The user’s experience, as compared to desktop apps used to be a problem, but today you can really tell a difference between whether or not you were on a desktop application or a web application.
Benefits of using Web Application Development
1. Individual approach. A web application made for your business by the web application development team of SoftElegance will be exactly what you need to solve your tasks. The application will be created to serve the specific purpose you need for your business case and you can rest assured your application will be able to handle all your business’ requirements.
2. Scalability. Custom web application developed by the team of SoftElegance will guarantee that your application can grow as your business does, and you won’t be forced to switch to a more expensive program or worry about costly license purchases.
3. Safety. During the custom development phase, web application team of SoftElegance will provide you with the level of security you need, including multi-factor authentication, georeferencing to the ip-address binding, and so on.
4. Adaptability. Custom developed application will work through the browser and changing the type of device (phone, tablet, laptop, TV) or changing the hardware (new device) or changing the operating system - will not affect the business functions of the web app. And this kind of applications work with zero installation.
5. Cost Effectiveness. Of course, having a custom web application built isn’t necessarily cheaper than using something off the shelf, but over time it can save you a great deal of money. You won’t have to pay for extra hardware, because every PC and every mobile device has a browser and that is all you need.
6. Adaptable to increased workload. Increasing processor capacity also becomes a far simpler operation with web-based applications. If an application requires more power to perform tasks only the server hardware needs to be upgraded. The capacity of web-based software can be increased by “clustering” or running the software on several servers simultaneously. As the workload increases, new servers can be added to the system easily.
How does SoftElegance work?
1. Evaluation. Without the perfect plan, calculating the strengths and weaknesses of the project, preparing the feasibility study, development of software is pointless. Software Development Life Cycle begins with Requirement Analysis phase, where you and the team of SoftElegance will discuss the requirements of the software that you need to develop to achieve your business’ goal. The aim of the requirement analysis phase is to capture the detail of each requirement and to make sure everyone understands the scope of the work and how each requirement is going to be fulfilled.
2. Analysis. Analysis is very important to proceed further to the next step. Technical consultant teams of SoftElegance put emphasis on understanding the business requirements. Based on this knowledge SoftElegance team suggests you about the best technology stack suited for your business model that best add value to your business, defines a solution to solve business challenges and offers an optimal development methodology, creates a development plan focusing on your business priorities. This stage is about analyzing the performance of the software at various stages and making notes on additional requirements.
3. Custom Software Design. The next stage of Software Development Life Cycle is the Design phase. During the design phase, developers and technical architects of SoftElegance start the high-level design of the software and system to be able to deliver each requirement of your business. The selected architectural design, defines all the components that needs to be developed, communications with third party services, user flows and database communications as well as front-end representations and behaviour of each components.
4. Development & Implementation. After the requirements and design activity is completed, the next stage is the implementation or development of the software. In this stage, developers of SoftElegance start coding according to the requirements and the design discussed with you in previous stages. Database admins create the necessary data in the database, front-end developers create the necessary interfaces and GUI to interact with the back-end all based on guidelines and procedures defined by you. Developers also write unit tests for each component to test the new code that they have written, review each other’s code, create builds and deploy software to an environment. This cycle of development is repeated until all requirements are met.
5. Software QA and Testing. The testing stage assesses the software for errors and documents bugs if there are any. From starting stage of the project, SoftElegance development team focuses on implementing the right procedure and standards developed for the software are intended to meet your requirements and testing is carried out on each stage to make error-free software.
6. Maintenance. Once the software passes through all the stages without any issues, it is to undergo a maintenance process wherein it will be maintained and upgraded from time to time to adapt to changes.
