Software development is the process of designing and implementing a
software solution to satisfy a user. The process is more encompassing than
programming, writing code, in that it includes conceiving the goal,
evaluating feasibility, analyzing requirements, design, testing and release.
The process is part of software engineering which also includes
organizational management, project management, configuration
management and other aspects.[1]

Software development involves many skills and job specializations including


programming, testing, documentation, graphic design, user support,
marketing, and fundraising.

Software development involves many tools including: compiler, integrated


development environment (IDE), version control, computer-aided software
engineering, and word processor.

The details of the process used for a development effort varies. The process
may be confined to a formal, documented standard, or it can be customized
and emergent for the development effort. The process may be sequential, in
which each major phase (i.e. design, implement and test) is completed
before the next begins, but an iterative approach – where small aspects are
separately designed, implemented and tested – can reduce risk and cost and
increase quality.
