- The stored information that represents the current condition of a system or application at a given point in time. State captures what has happened previously and influences how the system behaves going forward. In software development, state may refer to a variable’s value, a user interface’s condition, a user session, or an application’s data at any moment. The set of all possible states a system can occupy is known as its state space.
