Steps in the software development process
- Analysis, define the problem and ask questions
- Design / Brainstorm - planning the solution
- implementation - writing the code
- testing and debugging - looking for bugs and
- Maintainence - keeping it running
Open Solution
A problem with many acceptable solutions
Optimized Solution
The most efficient solution to an open problem
Bottom up design
The product goal is outlined but is produced on a system by system basis, more improvised and evolutionary.
Top down design (aka Divide and conquer)
the product is divided into many different solvable parts
Architechture
the way a program is built
Software engineering
Creation, operation, and maintenance of software.
Flowchart
