Description

Software development is the ideation, specification, design, programming, documentation, bug fixing, and maintenance of software applications, frameworks and other components. Software development encompasses all processes from the conception of the desired software to the final manifestation of the software typically in a planned and structured process. Software development also encompasses research, new development, prototyping, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, and any other activities that result in software products. There are numerous sources of ideas for software products. The demographics of potential new customers, current customers, sales prospects who rejected the product, other internal software development staff, or a creative third party can all provide these ideas. Market research can also provide these ideas. Marketing personnel typically conduct the initial evaluation of software product concepts to determine their economic viability, compatibility with existing distribution channels, potential effects on existing product lines, essential features, and alignment with the company's marketing objectives. A decision is made early in the first phase as to whether, based on the more detailed information generated by the marketing and development staff, the project should be pursued further. Marketing students learn marketing, but rarely finance or engineering. The majority of us specialize in a single area. To make things even more complicated, few of us meet people working in interdisciplinary fields, so there are few roles to imitate. However, knowledge of multiple fields is absolutely necessary for software product planning, which is essential to development success. Planning process Requirements analysis is an essential part of software development. Typically, customers do not know what software should do, but they have an abstract idea of what they want as a result. At this point, skilled and experienced software engineers recognize requirements that are incomplete, ambiguous, or even contradictory. Despite the fact that a great deal of effort is made during the requirements phase to ensure that requirements are complete and consistent, this rarely occurs avoiding the software design phase entirely in order to minimize the effects of new or shifting requirements. Because they have an effect on either ongoing or future development efforts, requirements volatility presents a challenge.  A software developer is a person or business that participates in the software development process, which includes the research, design, programming, testing, and other aspects of creating computer software. Programmer, software analyst, and software engineer are alternative job titles with similar meanings. Software houses are businesses that focus on software. There may be employees in a large company who are only responsible for one of the disciplines. A few people, or even just one person, might be in charge of the entire procedure in smaller development environments.
