The Software Developmet Process is also known as Software Lifecycle, I’ve already written a post about it, so you can check it out here.
Basically, it consists in a few steps: requirements, design, coding, testing, deployment and maintenance. This process is pretty much the one that almost every model of software development follows.
A software development process helps to reduces costs, time, errors and makes everything easier, that’s why many companies have decided to use it to develop new projects.
The cool thing about this process is the existence of different models. This way, each company can choose the model that fits better with their employees, politics and standards. Also, it is possible that a company create its own development process, it depends on the purpose of every organization.
