What is software development

What does software development mean? Perhaps a lot of people only know its superficial meaning, know that the person who engages in software development is treated better. And for the software development of specific matters are said to see do not understand. Next from the Xian set of small series for you to introduce what is called software development.

Software development is based on the needs of users to build a software system process. The specific process includes: Demand capture, demand analysis, design implementation, functional testing, etc. Software development is usually implemented by a programming language through software development tools. Software development includes system software development and application software development.

The specific stages of software development include: planning, analysis, design, coding, testing, maintenance 6 stages. The planning stage is to understand the user needs, from the technical, economic and other aspects of the feasibility of software development projects, and production feasibility report. The analysis phase is to analyze the needs of the users, to draw the need to develop a software to meet the user, repeatedly communicate with the user and establish a logical model and so on. The design phase includes a summary design and detailed design, which decomposes the software module and splits the software into an executable program unit. Detailed design of the specific modules of the program flow, additional database design. The coding phase is the use of computer programs to transform each program module, such as an object-oriented development language application. The testing phase is about finding errors as much as possible and improving them. The maintenance phase is the software upgrade, update and so on.

Software development methodologies must cover the entire development process and facilitate communication between developers, and support the evolution of the entire system lifecycle. And can be taught, transferable and so on.
