Software development is an ongoing process of designing, deploying, and supporting software. Software development is the process of developing a software product. Software development methodologies can be classified into two types: prescriptive and descriptive. Prescriptive methodologies are based on the idea that there is one best way to develop software. Descriptive methodologies, on the other hand, are based on the idea that there are many different ways to develop software and no one way is better than another. 

Software development is a complicated process. It can be difficult to manage the different aspects of it, such as designing, deploying, and supporting software. The methodologies that are used in this process can help businesses with these tasks and make the whole process more efficient.

There are many different software development methodologies that you can use for your business. These methodologies include waterfall, Agile, Scrum, etc. Each of them has its own set of benefits and drawbacks. ARCS Solutions team follows these guidelines to design, build, test, and deploy their products. 

The agile development methodology is the most popular methodology in the world. It is also known as “the right way to develop software”. Agile methodology is based on iterative and incremental processes with feedback loops from customers and stakeholders. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration between developers and stakeholders, which is why it is also called "collaborative software development". it is an iterative approach to Software Development where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams. It is less structured than the waterfall model and provides flexibility in terms of time frames for delivering the product or service. Agile methodology is best suited for projects that need to adapt quickly to changing business needs or market conditions, as well as those with unclear requirements at the outset. 

Rapid application development is a method that uses rapid prototyping and often employs a high-level programming language such as Visual Basic or PowerBuilder to quickly create prototypes of potential solutions. 

The waterfall method is an outdated but still widely used method of developing software where requirements are gathered up front before any coding begins, combined with sequential phases of design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance. A waterfall is a linear approach where all aspects from requirements gathering, design, implementation, and deployment happen in a sequence without any overlap or feedback. 

DevOps is an approach for accelerating the delivery of products by automating all the processes involved in developing, testing, and releasing software. The main goal of DevOps teams is to make sure that there are no gaps between different stages of a product's life cycle. This way they can increase speed, and quality and reduce costs. DevOps deployment methodology involves automating all the steps that are necessary for deploying an application or service to production (or other environments) including provisioning servers for load balancing and scaling purposes.
