 		 #168412 - Making of a real world product
Hello guys,
I am a electronics hobbyist. Most of my knowledge comes from the internet and text books. Though I can get around circuit building and all, I have not much knowledge of the real world electronic projects are made.

Recently I came across an idea that I want to test the market for. So I was wondering what are the steps that can take a bread board/pcb project into a real word product. So here are my questions

1. Development boards and circuits are quite bulky, how are they miniaturised? Are there specially available "smaller" version components for putting into real world products? How are they mounted on the board?

2. How is the casing for the circuit done? Are there companies that make the casing for you? How are the casings designed?

3. If you are using an adapter as a power supply, and your ics are going to be kept quite close to the pw supply, is there anything risk of induction and interference? How can we protect from that?

4. And finally, how are the products tested in the real world?
