Software Developers by:Petter Martine

A Software Developer is a person who analyzes the problem and gathers the information about a particular program

. And then on the basis of the analysis the programmer makes error free software which meets all the requirement of the company. The Developer is also responsible for making a program within due date. He should do proper documentation of the program so that it will be easier for a newcomer to easily understand the code and modify/change it according to required needs.

Software developers are given the opportunity to create things that matter: to individuals, to teams, to organizations, to countries, to our civilization. Software developers have the honor of delivering the stuff of pure intellectual effort that can heal, serve, entertain, connect, and liberate, freeing the human spirit to pursue those activities that are purely and uniquely human. Each developer manages their time differently. Some developers prefer to work alone for hours. Others like to talk with one or two teammates throughout the day. Some work best in the morning and others in the evening.

Programmers are rarely very productive when working for eight consecutive hours. Occasional breaks help with focus. Consider each programmer's style as their work environment is extremely important to their happiness and productivity.

Software developers have a deep responsibility because individuals and organizations depend on the objects software developers create; software developers have an obligation to deliver systems of quality in a manner that applies scarce human and computing resources intentionally and wisely. As professionals, software developers also have a moral responsibility. Software development is a human activity, not only because it emanates from the human intellect, but also because it requires the cooperative activity of others to make it real. As professionals, software developers therefore constantly seek better ways to deliver quality software that matters, simply because our task is too complex to squander our time and our energy.

This is why software developers look at successful projects and analyze why they were successful and similarly look at failed projects so that software developers may learn from their mistakes.

Software developers have a relatively limited toolbox. They are expected to be able to use the development environment including compiler and debugger for the language or languages they've chosen as well as a handful of the common tools that every member of a development team is expected to know how to use. These tools are typically integrated into one platform that functions as both a compiler and debugger. This is typically the same tool that was used to learn the language so learning a development environment isn't typically a big challenge. In some organizations a basic familiarity with the automated testing tools is also required. This would include unit level testing tools designed to test basic code assumptions as well as tools designed to perform system level tests. Generally testing tools are primarily operated by others; however, developers may need to activate scripts written by others to verify that their changes haven't adversely impacted the build.
