What is Program Development?
Program development is the process of designing, creating, testing, and maintaining software programs. It helps solve real-world problems and create innovative solutions.
The Program Development Life Cycle (PDLC)
- Problem definition: identify the problem or need.
- Analysis: break down the problem into smaller parts.
- Design: create a detailed design or algorithm.
- Implementation: write the code.
- Testing: verify the program meets requirements.
- Maintenance: update and modify the program as needed.
For example, to develop a program to manage student grades, each of these PDLC stages would be followed in turn to create the solution.
