Duties of Software Developers

Software developers mostly do the following:

  • Inspect users'needs and then designtest, and evolve software to meet those needs
  • Suggest software upgrades for customers' existing programs and systems
  • They design each piece of an application/system and plan how the pieces will work together
  • Create a mixture of models and diagramsthat show programmers the software code needed for an application.
  • Ensure that a program continues to function normally through software support and testing
  • Document every form of an application or system as a reference for future maintenance and upgrades
  • Associate with other computer specialists to create optimum software

They are in charge of the entire development process for a software program. They may start by asking how the customer plans to use the software. They must analyze the basic functionality that users need from software programs. Software developers must also decide user requirements that are separated to the functions of the software, such as the level of security and performance needs. They design the program and then give command to programmers, who write computer code and test it.If the program does not work as await or if testers find it too difficult to use, software developers go back to the design process to cleave the problems or improve the program. After the program is released to the customer, a software developer may perform upgrades and maintenance. Software Developers usually work strictly with computer programmers. However, in some companies, Software developers write code themselves instead of giving instructions to programmers.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
