Software Engineers
Agile, XP, RAD, DSDM, etc.), they all involve different approaches to handling the systems development lifecycle (SDLC):
- Planning and Requirement Analysis. This step involves taking feedback from customer, market research, and senior members of the team and distilling them into software requirements. Requirements are often formally defined
in a software requirement specification (SRS). Feasibility studies and risk calculations are also performed in this stage. - Design. Here “design” refers to software engineering principles of architectural design, logical design, and physical design. In laymen’s terms, the requirements gathered in the previous step inform decisions on how
to design the user interface, database management structure, and features of the eventual software product. The design approach is usually documented in a design document specification (DDS) and also covers how the software will
be developed. - Development and Testing. The design is brought to life in this stage through coding, prototyping, and testing. If the design phase was performed correctly this stage is really a matter of following the logic set out
in the previous step. Implementation across multiple platforms and integration with existing services can also be considered a part of this stage. - Deployment and Maintenance. In this stage the product undergoes its initial release into the market. Once on the market, a software product will usually require patches or updates to fix bugs or add new features based
on user feedback.
Java Developers
A Java developer is responsible for many duties throughout the development lifecycle of applications, from concept and design right through to testing.
Here are some other responsibilities they may have:
- Design, implement and maintain java application phases
- To take part in software and architectural development activities
- Conduct software analysis, programming, testing and debugging
- Identifying production and non-production application issues
- Transforming requirements into stipulations
- Develop, test, implement and maintain application software
- Recommend changes to improve established java application processes
- Develop technical designs for application development
- Develop application code for java programs
A java programmer has experience in software development as well as the following skills:
- Java based web services
- Relational Databases, SQL and ORM
- J2EE framework
- Object Oriented Analysis and Design
- JSP
- EJB (Enterprise Java Beans)
- XML,X query, XSL
- Test-Driven Development
.NET Developers
Developers tackle several tasks depending on a project’s requirements. If you want a web presence and want to customize a web application without an out-of-the-box solution such as WordPress,then a .NET programmer can take your ideas and turn them into a tangible product.
.NET developers also write desktop applications, but many of them specialize in either cloud or web programming. When you search for .NET developers, make sure you’re looking for ones that specialize in the environment you’re looking to build an application for. Cloud applications would be anything that runs in a web browser, while desktop applications are any software that is installed on the local desktop machine.
You may hire a .NET developer to fix bugs in an existing application or to build a new one from the ground up. The right developer can help advise you on what’s needed to build an app or the steps required to repair a buggy application.
C++ Developers
C++ Developers design, test and implement C++ applications. They largely use object oriented design strategies. These programmers perform server side scripting, metadata handling, review hierarchies and formulas. Some developers manage projects through the entire software development cycle. They lead teams that design, code, test and deploy computer programmers.
As they are required to have comprehensive programming knowledge, C++ developers do not write only codes using C++. They integrate relevant languages based on needs, or the combination of technologies that they are working with. C++ developers are obliged to be quality, detailed and results oriented. Due to the nature of their jobs, they are able to work in teams or by themselves. They must also be depth at all areas of the programming cycle whether writing code, testing or deploying the code.
They are able to contribute effectively to the overall team objective as well. Documentations must be prepared for every project and developers must be able to prepare them.
C++ Developers usually:
- Write reports and documentation
- Fix software issues and code irregularities
- Perform code maintenance, testing, and analysis
- Implement software or product enhancements
- Develop software applications by means of diverse computer programming language
- Lead teams and projects
- Perform training
- Give technical feedback
- Correspond with team leaders or business stakeholders
- Work with quality assurance teams
- Complete project assignments
