Application Development is the development of a software product. The process that OxenTec adheres to when writing and maintaining a software product includes everything that is involved between the conception of the desired software through to the final manifestation of the software, ideally in a planned and structured process. These processes may include research, new development, prototyping, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, or any other activities that result in the desired software product.

Software which OxenTec has developed was for a variety of purposes, the three most common being:  

1. Custom software to meet specific needs of a specific client.
2. To meet a perceived need of some set of potential users in an organisation, whether it be a mobile or web application.
3. For personal use.
