What is POC in Software Development.

POC is nothing but a acronym of "Proof of Concept".

Now what is proof of concept lets see, it is an experiment or research intended to show that a program or any system or product can be successfully deployed in  the real world.

In software development work on product cannot be get started until the concept validate itself.

POC is a kind of demo project that reflects a real world scenario but it is still differ from demo.

Whenever a new technology emerges we try to utilize its features for better output. 

It it's too risky to work with new emerged technology because we need to make sure that it matches to client requirements and all. 

In such case POC play vital role to prove that a new technology is viable for our development.

If we talk about its use case which is very common is in the software industry.

Whenever developers gets clients requirements developer focus on important requirements first and starts creating a proof of concept to solve those requirements and decide which technology will be suitable to implement them for product development.

POC is different from demo which we used to test our products.

So this is what POC means.
