Software development
Software development is the process of designing, creating, testing, and maintaining software applications to meet specific user needs or business objectives. The process is more encompassing than programming, writing code, in that it includes conceiving the goal, evaluating feasibility, analyzing requirements, design, testing and release. The process is part of software engineering which also includes organizational management, project management, configuration management and other aspects.
Software development involves many skills and job specializations including programming, testing, documentation, graphic design, user support, marketing, and fundraising.
Software development involves many tools including: compiler, integrated development environment (IDE), version control, computer-aided software engineering, and word processor.
The details of the process used for a development effort vary. The process may be confined to a formal, documented standard, or it can be customized and emergent for the development effort. The process may be sequential, in which each major phase (i.e., design, implement, and test) is completed before the next begins, but an iterative approach – where small aspects are separately designed, implemented, and tested – can reduce risk and cost and increase quality.
Each of the available methodologies is best suited to specific kinds of projects, based on various technical, organizational, project, and team considerations.
Another focus in many programming methodologies is the idea of trying to catch issues such as security vulnerabilities and bugs as early as possible (shift-left testing) to reduce the cost of tracking and fixing them.
In 2009, it was estimated that 32% of software projects were delivered on time and on budget, and with full functionality. An additional 44% were delivered, but were missing at least one of their features. The remaining 24% were cancelled before release.
Software development life cycle refers to the systematic process of developing applications.
