Skill description
Developing software components to deliver value to stakeholders.
Guidance notes
Activities may include - but are not limited to:
identifying, creating and applying software development and security standards and processes
planning and designing software components
estimating time and effort required for software development
constructing, amending and verifying software components
applying test-driven development and ensuring appropriate test coverage
using peer review techniques - such as pair programming
documenting software components
understanding and obtaining agreement to the value of the software components to be developed
selecting appropriate development methods and life cycles
applying recovery techniques to ensure the software being developed is not lost
implementing appropriate change control to software development practices
resolving operational problems with software and fixing bugs
Depending on requirements and the characteristics of the project or assigned work - software development methods and life cycles can be predictive (plan-driven) approaches or adaptive (iterative/agile) approaches.
