Talk:Software development

Introduction

[edit]

Why are there two conflicting definitions of software development in the introduction? Either two separate viewpoints should be described with rationale for each one, or one definition should be chosen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.76.66.183 (talk) 09:41, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge in of Software development methodology

[edit]

Note: The content of software development methodology moved to software development process, so that is now the article to merge from. 

* Oppose There are two distinct topics here. Programming (which you can do alone) and Process. We need a page that managers can come to read, because process is in their domain of expertise.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.71.8.218 (talk) 19:02, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re-wrote intro

[edit]

The intro was confusing and misleading IMO so I re-wrote it. I stayed with the referenced info from Dooley. I included the source info below since it's hard to find the book text online. Also, the info in the intro was organized poorly; not in coherent paragraphs.

Dooley page 1: 

Here’s the definition of software development that we’ll use in this book: software development is the process of taking a set of requirements from a user (a problem statement), analyzing them, designing a solution to the problem, and then implementing that solution on a computer. Isn’t that programming, you ask? No. Programming is really the implementation part, or possibly the design and implementation part, of software development. Programming is central to software development, but it’s not the whole thing. Well, then, isn’t it software engineering? Again, no. Software engineering also involves a process and includes software development, but it also includes the entire management side of creating a computer program that people will use, including project management, configuration management, scheduling and estimation, baseline building and scheduling, managing people, and several other things. Software development is the fun part of software engineering. So, software development is a narrowing of the focus of software engineering to just that part concerned with the creation of the actual software. And it’s a broadening of the focus of programming to include analysis, design, and release issues. Stevebroshar (talk) 15:24, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
