Frequently Asked Questions
Custom software development is the process of building functionality or complete applications tailored to an organization’s unique needs. Unlike off-the-shelf software, it delivers features specific to your business.
The process can involve:
- Building software from the ground up.
- Customizing existing software to better align with business requirements.
- Modernizing legacy applications for improved performance and compatibility.
Custom software development spans activities such as:
Understanding business needs.
- Designing solution architecture.
- Full-stack and mobile app development.
- Database design and cloud services.
- Integration with other technologies.
It’s a comprehensive approach designed to deliver scalable, future-ready solutions.
The cost of software development depends on factors such as project complexity, scope, required developer experience, team size, technology stack, integration needs, testing protocols, security requirements, regulatory compliance, and project management timelines.
Accurately estimating the cost of a custom software development project requires considering all relevant factors. Otherwise, project scope and budget can easily expand once the project begins.
We understand the importance of upfront budget clarity. That's why we've streamlined our estimation process into two steps:
- Preliminary Estimate: After an initial discovery and scope understanding, we provide a preliminary project estimate based on our experience with similar projects.
- Statement of Work (SOW): If the preliminary estimate meets expectations, we recommend generating a detailed SOW. This includes a comprehensive outline of requirements, functional specifications, feature list, technology stack, timelines, and resources. The SOW process confirms the budget, identifies contingencies, and sets the project up for success from the start.
Flexibility is probably the most important benefit of going the custom development route. You can build a system composed of loosely coupled components which can be independently modified, swapped, decommissioned and redeveloped. Other benefits include:
- Reduction in licensing costs (think Open Source)
- Choice of technology stack
- Development in Phases (MVP first, advanced features as permissible by budget)
- Improved interoperability with other software
Agile development offers a transformative approach to software development that prioritizes iterative feedback cadence, flexibility, collaboration, and end-user engagement in the full project cycle. At Mantrax, the majority of our projects are run in two-week sprints, with the target to demonstrate functionality to the client at the end of the sprint. Further, we hold sprint retrospective meetings to receive feedback (good or bad) from stakeholders and developers alike.
With our agile development process, quality is controlled throughout the development process, with the following quality assurance check points:
- Wireframes developed during design phase and approved before development begins
- New functionality is released at each Agile Sprint (typically two weeks), providing an opportunity to test out the functionality and provide feedback through an interactive process. The Mantrax QA team will conduct robust functional, performance, security and usability testing through the development cycle.
- Code Review: Throughout the development cycle, code review is conducted by senior solution architects. If required, third party code review is conducted to build in the extra layer of due diligence.
- Pilot Launch and User Acceptance Testing: Before the final application is launched, a Pilot or Beta version of the application is launched, allowing a group of end-users to test functionality end-to-end.
