Software development is a process of developing the computer programming for the different type of software for the better and effective use of it. Computer software is a different kind of application to support computer system process for the better and effective result in using the modern techniques of technology in the system and development means making the software application with the different kind of programming methods or you can say with a different kind of coding done to implement the software. Software development, in other words, you can say used of different programming methods in application to improve the effective use of computer systems. Software development includes planning of inventing the new application reuse of old application in a different module, Software development is the process of making an application planning, controlling, execution, and end result Is called software development. The Making of an application with the help of some codes or programming files with proper design and methodologies is called software development. The process include complete Identification of required software, Analysis of the software requirements, Detailed specification of the software requirements, Software design, Programming, Testing, Maintenance example like XYZ company is making a game software then firstly identification of the software requirement is done like what type of game want to be made who will be the targeted audience what will the modes to make easy or tough , then analysis of the software then check the computer of that game that you are making, complete specification of the software in documents so that it help in future prospective for the ground rules of the software, then the design of the software that how it will look like for attracting the customer looks or you can say design of the software is very important for the better impact, then proper programming or you can say coding is done to implement that design and working of that software , then testing of that software is required to check that software is working in the same way as planned by checking its ground rules and testing is important to check the compatibility of the software with different devices browser and apps that it is working fine in all the device o apps or not if not it can be rectified right there before handing over to its client or customer , then the maintenance part is very important in software development because if the software maintenance Is not checked time to time, then it can have many bugs that can destroy the software that leads to a heavy loss for the company. Software development plays a vital role in today's world as the technologies are growing for better and effective use for business as an aspect or for personal growth all because of software development. Or you can say software application that is giving the backbone support to the company in this leading world.
There are the following methodologies:
Agile Software Development
Crystal Methods
Dynamic Systems Development Model
Extreme Programming
Feature Driven Development
Joint Application Development
Lean Development
Rapid Application Development
Rational Unified Process
Scrum
Spiral
Systems Development Life Cycle
Waterfall
I prefer agile software development methodology because it is easy to implement with the different life cycle of the software making for better and effective result for the business without any heavy loss to the organization.
