Software Development Steps

Learning Intention:

• Explore fundamental software development steps used by programmers when designing software.

Success Criteria

• I can correctly order the software development steps.

• I can describe the purpose and key activities involved in each software development step, from requirements definition to maintenance.

• I can explain how each step (such as design, development, and testing) contributes to building functional and reliable software.

• I can identify the importance of each step and how they work together to ensure a successful software project.

Fundamental Software Development Steps

When designing software, programmers will complete the following steps:

• requirements definition

• determining specifications

• design

• development

• integration

• testing and debugging

• installation

• maintenance

This section will take some time, as much of the syllabus content has been categorised into the following steps so you can understand it in the right context.
