Software development is an iterative evolution in the process of adapting to the changing needs, the software process is a series of software engineering activities, which is carried out with the support of soft ware in order to obtain the software product, and the basic elements of software process consist of a series of relationship between the engineering activities and activities. By performing these activities in a series of sequences and steps, you can produce various process artifacts, such as code, documents, and data, and ultimately achieve the desired process results. In addition, software engineering requires the support of process resources such as active personnel and activity tools, and enables sustainable improvement of the process through feedback and measurement of the results of the process. The basic activities of the software activities include: 1, issue, 2, software Requirements specification, 3, software design, 4, software design, 5, software validation, 6, software evolution. The software process model has the waterfall model, the rapid prototype model, the increment model, the Helix model, the formal method model, the component-based development model. Through the introduction of Microsoft's software development process case, more familiar with the software process, from the development of management principles, software process models to progressive software development strategy, product functionality is not in a development process complete, but in the continuous release of multiple versions gradually formed and perfected.
