What is the correct development process order according to the standard workflow?

• A. Planning, Designing, Building, Testing, Publishing
• B. Planning, Building, Designing, Testing, Publishing
• C. Designing, Planning, Building, Publishing, Testing
• D. Building, Planning, Testing, Designing, Publishing

Answer: (A)

Starting with planning sets the goals, requirements, constraints, and success criteria for the project. This ensures everyone agrees on what’s being built before any design work begins. Then comes designing, which turns those plans into concrete specifications and visual/interaction concepts that guide the actual construction. Building follows, turning the blueprint into a working product. Testing happens after there is something to test, verifying that the product meets requirements, works reliably, and is ready for users. Finally, publishing releases the finished product to users. This order keeps the work aligned and minimizes rework: planning informs design, design informs building, building is checked through testing, and only after quality is assured is the product released. If you try to reorder things, you can end up designing without clear goals, building without a solid plan, or releasing with unresolved issues.
