What are Services in Software Development?

Software development is the process of creating and maintaining the various components of the software, including applications and frameworks. This process takes the software from its original conception as an idea to its final manifestation, usually in a planned, structured manner. Software development may include many specific activities such as gathering requirements, prototyping, modification, testing, and maintenance. Software is often developed separately from hardware and other applications, as occurs with system software. However, the development of embedded software such as that used to control consumer products involves integrating the development of the software with that of the associated product.

1. Custom Software Development:- Large organizations frequently develop custom software to fill in the gaps in their existing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions. These most often include applications for content management, customer management, human resource management, and inventory management. In many cases, an organization’s custom software was developed before the availability of COTS software to perform the required functions.

2. Web Application Development:- Web application development is an extension of standard software development with distinctive characteristics such as an increased need for an iterative development process. Security is also a greater issue for web applications than traditional desktop applications since they have much greater exposure to attacks.

3. Mobile Application Development:- Mobile applications, or apps, are specifically designed for use on mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and digital assistants. They may be installed as part of the device’s manufacture or delivered afterward from a web server. Mobile developers must consider a range of display sizes, hardware, and configuration due to the current lack of standardization for mobile devices.

4. Cloud Computing:- Cloud computing is the availability of computing resources such as processing and data storage upon demand, without active management on the part of the user. This sharing of resources allows cloud computing to achieve a great economy of scale. Cloud computing generally refers to the use of data centers to serve users over the internet, usually through functions distributed to multiple locations from central servers.
