After software development is generally completed, a warranty period is provided. The length varies by company: three months, half a year, or one year, usually decided by the project.
Software assessment basically helps you understand which factors the development cost relates to.
1. The software’s functions are the most important element of the cost.
2. How many developers the software requires.
3. The development language: languages have no good or bad, only which software development and design they suit.
4. Software compatibility: software currently developed generally connects with databases, other software and other functions. From the design stage, consider the database size, the number of users and the company’s growth.
5. The server.
After the warranty period, the next year’s maintenance fee is billed at 10 percent of the project total (maintenance covers only the upkeep of existing required functions).
If requirements change later or new feature points are added, the workload of the change is assessed and an upgrade fee added.
Shenzhen software development companies compete among peers mainly on functionality. Within the same industry, we believe enterprises using custom software differ greatly from those using market template software. Custom software is tailored, so its targeting is very strong; that is the greatest benefit of custom software. All custom software development requires thorough system analysis, developing the program that best fits the enterprise according to its situation. In development, the administrator’s latest management thinking and the most scientific management models must be built into the software’s mathematical models, which not only raises the software’s scientific value but brings the enterprise great economic benefits.
Custom software meets enterprise needs to a greater degree: it is built entirely to the client’s requirements, so its functions are highly targeted with clear goals. Custom software fits the enterprise’s image better too: since it is custom, it fully incorporates the company’s logo and cultural traits. Custom software is used only within the enterprise, but integrating the corporate culture deepens employees’ cohesion and loyalty.
Because custom software is designed and developed on demand, the product manager must interview the client, and helping the client assess the software’s functions is an important part of the work.
After assessing the basic software functions, you gain two key points:
1. The software’s functions are designed and developed according to the functional specification.
2. You know whether the developer is capable of building such software, how long it will take, whether the schedule can be arranged, and whether it can be completed within the cycle the user requires.
