Software development is the process of transferring, specifying, documenting, designing, coding, testing, and conducting quality assurance within the creation and maintenance of web and/or mobile applications, their elements, frameworks, integrations, and related aspects via providing distinct software development services.
The discovery phase helps to evaluate all the details of the project concept from both technical and business sites. The benefits of this step is to save time and your cost for further steps, validate the requirements, document potential risks and how to resolve them, prioritize all project tasks, and so on. The software development services involved in discovery include business analysis, UX/UI design, architecture planning. Once the discovery phase is completed, the client receives deliverables like clearly defined project concept, product backlog with all features and their peculiarities, product prototype with UX and UI, architecture plan, optional market & competitor analysis, etc.
These deliverables from the different software development services are taken to the next coding phase. The development phase usually starts with early planning, which is considered a zero development sprint lasting 1-3 weeks. Once completed, the whole development process is divided into sprints performed by the allocated developers. The project manager directs the development team and reports on the progress to the client. Also, based on the project, there could be different number and type programmers involved. For instance, you may need mobile app developers (iOS or Android), or web front-end and back-end developers.
Rates for software development services can vary from as low as $10 and increase up to $850/hour or even higher based on the required expertise, experience level of the specialist, and location. Note that the Eastern Europe (Ukraine) IT outsourcing region provides the greatest price-quality ratio of $30-$50/hour, level of tech skills and practices, and a large pool of experienced programmers. Generally, the software concept you need to develop with its business and technical requirements directly correlates with the number and the cost of the software development services. The key factors and elements that influence the final cost of the whole software development service include aspects such as type, location, and hourly rates of the selected IT vendor, a number and complexity of the functionality, design complexity with extra branded elements (graphics, imagery, animation), complexity of the project infrastructure (its integrations, APIS, elements), a number of the platforms you target (iOS, Android, Web), and so on.
Besides, different types of software development services cost different amounts, and the combination of all these services makes up a total software cost. In general, the work of a UX/UI designer ($30) costs less than a senior iOS developer ($50-60). Besides, the rate for software development services depends on the seniority level of a programmer, level of expertise, and knowledge, and thus, has different prices.
