The Complete Guide to Custom Software Development System Life Cycle Model

The software development life cycle (SDLC) is the process of developing and maintaining a software product. This process can include multiple stages such as requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, and deployment. The SDLC has five phases: analysis phase, requirements phase, design phase, implementation phase, and test phase. Depending on the type of project these phases may not always be necessary or integrated into a single phase. For example, in the case of an incremental release with no maintenance required for a software product these phases may be combined into just one or two phases. The requirements for custom software development are many. The software must be able to maintain data integrity, be easy to understand and intuitive, provide security, and more. Custom software development is an exhausting process with long hours. But it is worth it in the end because you get what you want - a custom piece of code that will work exactly how you need it to.

Natural Language Processing – What it is and why it’s important

Introduction Natural Language Processing — the application of software systems to examining, interpreting and accurately responding to speech is viewed as the next big leap in user interface technology. However, human speech is far more complex than most people realize. There are rules, such as spelling and grammar. How we interpret speech and text, though, is far less well-defined. How do you know when a person is being sarcastic, for example? How do we know that an athlete’s explosive sprint to the finish line didn’t involve any pyrotechnics? In human language, the words can say one thing, but the context and the tone make those words mean something else. It takes humans a half a lifetime to learn the subtle nuances of language. Even then, there will be words and phrases that some of us don’t understand. Then, there are further complications in understanding language, such as dialects and colloquialisms. So, how can a computer that “thinks” in binary be programmed, line by line,

Robotic Process Automation and Its Applications

Introduction Many large enterprises are using robotic process automation (RPA) to reduce costs and improve efficiency. By implementing RPA, businesses can automate repetitive and mundane tasks. RPA could represent the first step towards true intelligent automation. But what is RPA, and what are its applications in business? What Is Robotic Process Automation? RPA is a term that can be applied to any computer program that automatically performs a repetitive function. In its simplest form, RPA is the automatic out-of-office message that your email software sends. More sophisticated RPA bots can log into an application, perform tasks, and log out again. RPA is not a part of an organization’s IT infrastructure. RPA sits on top of the infrastructure and automates tasks that humans would otherwise perform. There are three main types of RPA bots. There are programmable bots that interact with other systems. There are intelligent RPA bots that can make decisions based on unstructured

30 Days Minimum Viable Product Wisdom

When anyone sets out to design and market a new product or system of any kind, their first inclination is likely to be to make the first release of that product or system the most functionally rich and complete that it can be. There is, however, a growing acceptance that releasing a minimum viable product (MVP) to early adopters is a far more efficient way to develop a new product or system and one that will ultimately lead to a much better deliverable. What is a Minimum Viable Product? The concept of a minimum viable product, which has been popularized by Silicon Valley entrepreneurs Steve Blank, and Eric Ries, is a design and development process in which a new product, such as an app, is developed and initially released with only sufficient functionality to satisfy the needs of the early adopters. Further features and functionality are only added to the product after consideration has been given to the feedback that has been received from those early adopters. A minimum vi
