What Is Software Development?
Software development is the process of designing, creating, testing, and maintaining computer
programs or applications. It involves translating ideas or needs into functional software through
planning, coding, and problem■solving. Key stages typically include: • Requirements analysis –
understanding what the software should do. • Design – planning the structure and components. •
Implementation – writing the actual code. • Testing – verifying that the software works as expected. •
Deployment – releasing the software for use. • Maintenance – updating, fixing bugs, and improving
features. Software development is used to build websites, mobile apps, operating systems, database
systems, and many other digital products that people and businesses use every day.
