What is Software Development?
Software development is a way of putting together a set of computer science jobs over the entire process of creating, designing, deploying, and supporting software. Software is a series of commands or programs that allow the computer to carry out tasks. It exists separately from the hardware and enables the computer to be programmable.
The goal of software development is to deliver a product that meets user requirements and business objectives in an efficient, repeatable, and secure manner. Software development is executed in accordance with a software development life cycle process (SDLC). The ever-growing application of AI tools and generative AI is to aid software developers in an efficient way with coding and testing.
So much of modern life, business or otherwise, relies on software development. From the phones and computers used for personal tasks or to complete our jobs, to the software systems in use at the utility companies that deliver services to homes and businesses. Software is everywhere, and software development is the life force behind all of these applications and systems.
