Software development involves various processes related to software design, development and delivery. Software is the set of instructions or programs that tell a computer what to do.
There are three basic types of software development.
SYSTEM SOFTWARE:
System software often runs in the background and doesn't require the user to interact with it. For instance, you might be reading this on a Windows machine, running the Windows system software.
APPLICATION SOFTWARE:
These help users perform a specific task. Apps are often installed by the user and become active when the user takes a certain action.
Some examples are e-commerce web applications where you can make a purchase, or mobile applications that allow you to share and like pictures. Or a chat application that keeps you in touch with coworkers.
PROGRAM SOFTWARE:
This software gives programmers the tools they need to create code. Programmers need a place to write, test, and package their code for use. To do this, they make use of programming software.
Software Development is a Diverse Filed. In what ways?
Software is used in virtually every aspect of our lives. Some of its applications are free, others paid.
Software is written in thousands of programming languages by programmers with various specialties and experience. The process of software development varies from company to company, team to team.
Regardless, the demand for software development continues to increase worldwide.
