Hi there! Let´s take a look about what steps needs to be covered to Develop software:

Prerequisites

First, you need to set up what needs to be done, how and maybe where.

Implementation

Then, you need to clean your draft code, so the result can be implemented in the application phase. This is due to the excesive existence of bad code on the world and if you want to be a good SD´per you need to make the thing a good way.

Testing/Debugging

Here, maybe the hardest of the phases, at least for me, in this step you need to “patch” all the mistakes or fix all the bugs the code or the project has.

Let´s have a time to debug in each step, and in this phase you can make your project be more efficient.

Documentation

This is one of my favorites, in this phase you need to explain what you made, Even if it is in the code (I prefer that) or in a special document. Please follow
