It is a process of writing and maintaining the 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. Hence software development may include research, new development, prototyping, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, or any other activities that result in software products. In Software Development field, change happens at a fast pace. There are new products, tools, and apps released into the world every day—and dozens of languages and frameworks to master.
