Software Development Companies are related to purposes like computer programming, documenting and testing needed for making and running applications and frameworks contained in a software release life cycle producing a software product. The term software developments relates to a procedure of scripting and running a source code, but in a wider sense of the terminology it is associated with everything that is connected between the conception of the software till the final stages of the creation of the software in a methodological way. Hence Software development companies may be occupied in research, new development, modification, prototyping, re-engineering, reuse, maintenance or any other actions that are involved in making of software products.

Software companies can be hired for several reasons, the three most known are:
•Custom: Needed to meet specific requirements of the client,
•Commercial or open source: To meet the needs of a particular group among people
•Personal Use: For instance one that is written by a scientist to assist him in his work

Software development Companies today hire software engineers who are needed for a better quality check-up of the software development course. These engineers aim to give the whole course a systematic approach taught to them during their engineering program.

There exist many different ways in which software development companies may run. Few adopt a more disciplined; engineering based way to develop business solutions, while some go for a cumulative approach, in this case the software comes into being in a puzzle-like manner. Most software development companies' methods have similar combination of the following stages in software development:

1.Studying the problem
2.Researching the market
3.Getting to know the pre requisites for the planned business solution
4.Making up a plan
5Putting in action the coding of the software
6.Going for a test drive of the software
7.Bringing the software into use
8.Fixing bugs and regular checks

These all make up the software development lifecycle. Different software development companies may put these steps in action in a different order, or give different amount of attention to each step. The details that are written for each step may also vary for each step, some paying more attention and providing details for one.

There are some important pros and cons of the routes adopted by software development companies. The best course of way is to solve a problem using software although that depends on the problem. If the problem is well grasped, the solution can be planned out in an orderly manner within time. Whereas if the problem is extremely new or maybe is strange to the software development company the format of software is not very easy to work out. The process is therefore there for development of solutions which is the extreme aim of the software development countries present today. To this day there are new methodologies created and researched by various software development countries which continue to succeed in all parts of the world and try to be competitive with companies like Microsoft.
