Software development refers to a series of activities in computer science dedicated to the process of software production, design, implementation and support. System software focuses on delivering core functions such as operating systems, disk management services, hardware management, and other operational specifications.
Software development is also a process by which standalone or individual software is created using a specific programming language. It involves writing a series of interrelated programming code, which provides the functionality of the developed software. Software development may also be called software design and application development.
The software development process includes several phases that provide a method for building products that meet technical specifications and user requirements. The software development process offers an international standard that can be used by software companies to build and enhance their computer programs. It provides a structured framework to be followed by development teams in designing, developing, and maintaining high-quality software. Under a given budget and timeline, the IT software development process’s goal is to create efficient products.
Steps in the software development life cycle, including:
