Software development is the process of creating applications, frameworks, or systems that fulfill specific user requirements. It encompasses several stages, including planning, design, coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance. During the planning phase, developers identify user needs and outline project goals. The design phase involves creating software architecture and user interfaces. Coding is where developers write the actual code, followed by testing to identify and fix bugs. Once the software is ready, it’s deployed for users. Ongoing maintenance ensures that the software remains functional and up-to-date, adapting to changing needs and technologies. This iterative process is crucial for successful software delivery.
