Outline of software development
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to software development:
Software development – development of a software product, which entails computer programming (process of writing and maintaining the source code), but also encompasses a planned and structured process from the conception of the desired software to its final manifestation.[1] Therefore, software development may include research, new development, prototyping, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, or any other activities that result in software products.[2]
What type of thing is software development?
Software development can be described as all of the following:
Branches of software development
History of software development
History of software development
Software development participants
- Software developer
- Software engineer
- Consulting software engineer

Software project management
- Software project management – art and science of planning and leading software projects. It is a sub-discipline of project management in which software projects are planned, monitored and controlled.
Software development strategies
- Offshore software R&D – provision of software development services by an external supplier positioned in a country that is geographically remote from the client enterprise; a type of offshore outsourcing.

Education relevant to software development
- Bachelor of Computer Science – type of bachelor's degree awarded for study of computer science, emphasizing the mathematical and theoretical foundations of computing, rather than teaching specific technologies that may quickly become outdated. A Bachelor of Computer Science degree is normally required in order to work in the field of software development. Abbreviated "BCompSc" or "BCS".
