Not Comprehending The WHY Of Software
Curating software from a translation of codes that is executable by a computer and understandable by a human is not an easy task. Before jumping on the development tools, you must devote a fixed timeframe to understand your client’s business. Dig deep enough and understand HOW exactly is the software going to impact the workflow of the organization and the end-users. By doing so, you’ll get more clarity on what to work on and more importantly, what not to work on. Every software developer who has attained significant success will tell you to understand the resulting benefit of the software. This will allow you to only focus on stuff that holds value, while preemptively eliminating the most obvious changes that the client’s review team would recommend.
So the next time you sit in front of your computer for a new software project, go through the project’s brief to comprehend the WHY of the software before you begin coding.
5 Deadly Sins of Software Development
Software development refers to a process of designing, programming, developing, testing, deploying, and supporting software. Developing new software can be a really complex task. The complexity of software development can cause a developer to get overwhelmed with the development process resulting in grave mistakes or sins as which are referred to in this blog. These sins deteriorate the quality of the software due to which companies can lose trillions of dollars. In 2020, as per the CISQ report, the US companies faced a loss of a whopping $2.08 trillion due to their software quality issues.
These mistakes have not only cost organizations trillions of dollars but also weeks, months (and even years in some cases), merely over simple things that could’ve been handled in a much easier and more effective manner. Most of these sins can be prevented by following a pragmatic approach towards development. Read the entire blog to understand and avoid the most obvious mistakes that developers make.
So, here are the 5 deadly software development sins that you shouldn’t commit:
