Application development steps

Most software applications perform three major functions:

A user interface to capture data.
Logic to validate the captured data.
A database to store the validated data.

The process steps to develop these major functions varies from project to project. In this tutorial you will review or participate in the following application development steps to build the Compass Travel Trips Maintenance application:

Step
