What is it about
Software development is the process of computer programming, documenting, testing, and bug fixing in creating and maintaining applications and frameworks in a software release life cycle and resulting in a software product.

It may include research, new development, prototyping, modification, reuse, maintenance, or any other activities that result in software products.
