Question

both designing and development are equally responsible for the best experience of the software , but which part takes longer to be work on ?

Answer 1

normally the development because of the security

Answer 2

More than 50% of software engineering work is maintenance.
Most maintenance is extending systems, that is not only fixes, the large part is upgrades, new versions and new features.

Answer 3

Theoretically, more time is spent on designing phase as every minute details of the project have to be evaluated against the requirements of the client. Then comes the development phase. A good design would result into faster and less error development.

Answer 4

I thinks the designing part takes less time , because we have to work on it while creating the software , but we always have to work on Development even after releasing of software for performance improvements & bug fixes because most bugs are common in the developement phase
