What are the Benefits of Software Development Services?
Building a software solution requires plenty of things, from planning and resource gathering to hiring talents and implementing your ideas into a successful solution. Every component of software development has its own benefits, but leveraging software development services can turn your dream projects into reality.
Here are the top benefits of software development services;
#1: Efficiency and Productivity
Building software is an arduous task, given the complex research, design and development, testing, and deployment process it has to go through. Hence, efficiency and productivity remain a challenge. With the right software development services, you can streamline the development process.
#2: Gain expert talent
Your project needs expertise, given the stiff competition today’s market is facing. Hiring an in-house team can be costly as it’s not just about paying a salary; you have various other things to look into. But, when you hire experts from software companies, you get a range of flexibility: hire dedicated resources from anywhere in the world. That means you can hire specialized talents for specific project needs without committing the perks that you’d pay to an in-house team.
#3: Build high-quality software
Uncompromised quality: that’s the first thing you never want to settle for. Agencies offering software development services provide specialized experts with experience in relevant tech stacks and industries. Apart from this, they implement the right process and development methodology. That helps the company maintain the software development quality while keeping the entire team in sync and on the same page.
#4: Cost-efficient as compared to hiring an in-house team
Hiring in-house teams can be costly as it’s not just about paying hourly rates but also about spending on resources, tools, training, infrastructure, human resources, employee health insurance, and more. A full health insurance premium would cost you $373 to $634 monthly. Hiring experts from software development agencies would cost you nearly the same as you pay for health premiums for an in-house expert. The development cost in the USA is comparatively high.
Hiring junior software developers costs may range between $65,280 - $1,59,360, while you can hire highly skilled and experienced talents for a quarter of the price. There are software development companies that offer software developers for hire for $15 - $35 per hour. If you spend $50/ hour, you can hire expert developers to provide the highest quality services.
#5: Scalable and flexible team
Outsourcing or hiring remotely comes with various benefits, and scalability is one of them. You need 10 software developers next month; you can do this immediately. Or, you do not need those developers after 2 months, no problem, they will mind their own business. They will not come after you demanding bonuses, health insurance, job guarantees, or others. You can scale up and down your development team when required.
#6: Quality assurance
Companies with good experience and expertise provide quality assurance and deliver your projects like their own. They use a variety of methods to ensure quality assurance. For example;
- Identify goals and requirements
- Plan and design QA testings
- Run the tests manually
- Use open-source tools, like Selenium, Jenkins, and
- Postman, to check performance.
- Set standards
- Track performance
#7: Domain expertise
Software development firms have run various training programs, conduct learning and development activities, and sponsor CoP (Community of Practice) to help define and shape the domain. Here are some of the activities that the company implements;
- Learning courses related to programming and new technologies
- Workshops to keep them motivated
- Run podcasts
- Mentoring
- Coaching
- Consulting
- Collaborating
- Networking
- Community presence
How To Assess Software Development Services?
You need to implement certain development metrics to assess the software development services and products they build. For example,
Cycle time: It’s a metric that measures the overall time it takes for a particular task. For example, it calculates coding timing from beginning to end. For example, when the task began and was delivered and deployed. By assessing this, companies can assess how quickly the team can finish a task or if there’s any improvement needed.
Change failure rate (CFR): CFR is crucial to assess the quality and stability of software updates. The lower CFR indicates the high quality of source code as it requires minimum fixing, patching, or rolling back.
It works on a CFR formula: CFR (%) = # (the number of) change failures/ total number of deployments.
Even though CFR is usually a helpful metric used in DevOps and Agile delivery, it helps the software development team;
- Reduce lead time
- Increase software delivery velocity
- Understand the deployment process quality
- Make informed decision
- Improve operational and business performance
Code quality: Code quality is crucial to assess the overall software development quality. The metrics measure the quality of code written by software developers for the projects. The quality code is when it is bug-free and has semantically correct code.
Reliability: Two different measurements, MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) and MTTR (Mean Time To Repair) metrics are applied to check the reliability of the software development services. They ensure that the software built by the company and team provides the services at the right time.
What Is a Software Development Team?
A software development team is a group of experts created to work on a project. They handle the dedicated aspects of software development. It includes developers, UI/UX designers, QA engineers, testers, DevOps engineers, business analysts (BA), project managers, and more. Now, based on your project size, budget, and software type, you may need to hire the team accordingly. If you are following an Agile team structure, the team must consist of the following;
- Project/Product Owner: The key stakeholder of the project who works directly with the client. The product owner often is the CTO of the company who guides the support team.
- Project Manager: The project manager, aka scrum master or team leader (depending on the type of Agile framework you use, is responsible for assigning and distributing tasks among the team.
- Business Analyst: BA is responsible for ensuring that the project generates revenue by bridging the gap between technologies and business.
- UI/UX Designers: The design team ensures the product will look and feel good to users. They create user journey maps and create designs accordingly.
- Frontend Developers: Turns design into code and handles the technical aspects of the projects.
- Backend Developers: The back-end developers deal with server-side —behind-the-scenes functionalities and often are specialists who are heavily experienced with coding.
What to Look for When Hiring a Software Development Service Provider?
When hiring a software development company, you need to consider a few crucial factors. For example, you need relevant experience in your industry, a strong portfolio showcasing similar projects, and excellent communication skills. These three factors are enough to ensure you have the right partner for your software projects. However, these are three of the many factors that play a crucial role in helping you hire the company. Let’s explore some of the important ones.
