Coding and development
is the process of conceiving, specifying, designing, programming, documenting, testing, and bug fixing involved in creating and maintaining applications, frameworks, or other software components. Software development involves writing and maintaining the source code, but in a broader sense, it includes all processes from the conception of the desired software through to the final manifestation of the software, typically in a planned and structured process.It also includes research, new development, prototyping, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, or any other activities that result in software products.
Stages of Software Development
- Analyzing the problem
- Market research
- Gathering requirements for the proposed software
- Devising a plan or design for the software
- Implementation of the software
- Testing and debugging the software
- Deployment
- Maintenance and bug fixing
The Agile methodology is a way to manage a project by breaking it up into several phases. It involves constant collaboration with stakeholders and continuous improvement at every stage. Once the work begins, teams cycle through a process of planning, executing, and evaluating.
Agile’s four main values are:
- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Working software over comprehensive documentation
- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- Responding to change over following a plan
