Software development is the process of creating computer software using different programming languages, tools and frameworks. It involves the process of designing, developing, testing, and maintaining software applications to meet specific business requirements.
Software architecture design refers to the high-level design of software systems that encompass the overall structure, behavior, and functionality of the system. Software architects use a variety of design patterns and principles to ensure that the software is scalable, maintainable, and meets the required performance criteria.
Front-end development refers to building user interfaces for web and mobile applications. This involves designing and developing web pages using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other related technologies. Front-end developers are responsible for ensuring that web pages are responsive and work seamlessly across all devices.
Back-end development refers to building server-side logic for web and mobile applications. This includes writing code in programming languages like Java, Python, Ruby on Rails or Node.js. Back-end developers are responsible for handling data storage and retrieval, managing user authentication and authorization, and integrating with third-party APIs.
API integration involves connecting different software systems together by exchanging data through APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). This helps different applications to communicate with each other enabling seamless data transfer across platforms.
Web app testing involves ensuring that a web application works as expected by testing its functionality manually or through automated tests. This includes testing for usability, security vulnerabilities in code or server configurations to ensure that it meets acceptable industry standards.
