ElasticsearchCustom Software Development: Step by Step
Custom application development is the process of creating from-scratch solutions to address the specific needs of an organization. Here is how we usually engineer bespoke software at INNERLUXES:
1
Discovery (if you do not have a requirements specification yet)
Duration: 1 – 3 months.
A dedicated business analyst (BA) or a BA team:
- Explores your specific business needs and opportunities, documents the key processes future software must cover, and considers relevant regulatory constraints.
- Elicits, gathers and processes the opinions, expectations and concerns of all stakeholders.
- Structures and prioritizes the requirements for future software based on business value.
- Analyzes risks.
2
Project planning
Duration: ~ 2 weeks.
A project manager:
- Defines project deliverables and scope clearly.
- Draws a project plan and a detailed work breakdown structure.
- Composes the team and maps collaboration flows between the team members and your stakeholders.
- Provides accurate time and budget estimates.
- Introduces a tailored set of KPIs to measure the project's health.
- Conducts a cost-benefit analysis and calculates NPV and ROI.
- Prepares a risk management strategy.
3
Architecture, UX and UI design
Duration: 2 weeks – 3 months.
The team:
- Designs the architecture, data flows, and integration points.
- (optionally) Defines parts of your existing software that can be re-used.
- Conducts UX research and designs wireframes, prototypes, and interface mockups.
4
First production release
Duration: 1 – 6 weeks for the first working version.
The team:
- Defines the optimal functional scope for the first release depending on each feature's expected value for end users.
- Codes the release relying on our established development approaches.
5
Development and testing
Duration: 1 – 3 weeks for each release.
The team:
- Ensures safe continuous releases via automated CI/CD pipelines.
- Tests software to verify its proper functioning, performance, and security.
- (wherever reasonable) Employs test automation to decrease testing time and costs.
- Reports regularly on the development progress and build quality.
6
Deployment and setup
The team:
- Deploys the software. (optionally) A trial implementation can be conducted for a limited number of users and with technical support.
- Performs knowledge transfer to your internal team or outsourced support team.
- (if needed) Trains your internal users on how to use the solution.
7
After-release maintenance
Duration: 1 – 3 months.
The team:
- Answers your and your users' after-release questions and resolves user issues, if any.
- Manages incidents, configuration changes and updates.

INNERLUXES Answers Frequent Questions
Is custom software worth the investment?
The major reason to opt for custom software is that mass-market and free tools are often unable to meet unique business needs, do not support specific integrations, offer limited or costly scalability, and may be more expensive in the long run.
At INNERLUXES, we analyze the financial feasibility of custom software development on a case-by-case basis and consider prioritized options with stakeholders.
How much does it cost to engineer custom software?
The cost of software engineering depends on your project's scale and complexity, shaped by multiple factors:
- Software type and the number of platforms supported (web, mobile, desktop).
- Number and complexity of software features.
- Custom software design uniqueness and complexity.
- Number and complexity of integrations with other software systems.
- Infrastructure requirements (availability, performance, security, latent capacity and scalability).
You can request a free project cost calculation from INNERLUXES if you need to assess planned software.
What cooperation model is better for custom development?
It depends on the development resources you have in-house. If none, you will assemble a dedicated team and fully outsource your project to a vendor. If you have a team but lack specific competencies, go for a team augmentation model.
Who decides on the development methodology?
Your software development vendor will advise on an optimal methodology. Here is our brief overview:
- At INNERLUXES, we use Agile (Scrum, Kanban, XP) to enable fast releases and easy changes.
- When accurately predictable budgets and timelines or adherence to industry regulations are in demand, we employ Waterfall.
- We offer the Iterative model when a customer wants both project flexibility and predictability.
