- The process of conceiving, specifying, designing, programming, documenting, testing, and bugfixing involved in creating and maintaining applications, frameworks, or other software components. Software development is a process of writing and maintaining source code, but in a broader sense, it includes all that is involved between the conception of the desired software through to the final manifestation of the software, sometimes in a planned and structured process. Therefore, software development may include research, prototyping, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, and other activities that result in software products. ← Wikipedia
