DELIVERY
Testing, Deployment and
Future Changes
Custom software needs to be tested against the
specific rules and workflows it was designed to
support.
Testing can cover application functions, APIs,
databases, user permissions, integrations, reports,
error conditions, and complete business processes.
Regression testing is especially important when
changes to one module could affect another.
Deployment may involve application infrastructure,
databases, storage, networking, backups, monitoring,
environment configuration, and release processes
depending on the system.
After launch, software may continue to require
security updates, bug fixes, performance
improvements, new integrations, and additional
functionality. A well structured codebase and
documented architecture can make these changes
easier to manage.
