How exactly does the development process work?

Question

I have learned many things, and saw jokes, and learned terms. However I'm not entirely sure how to put all this information together. I've learned about front-end, back-end, fullstack, "pushing to production", etc. Right now I want to know if I am working a Dev job. What general process do we use to develop. I'm not asking for specific things like Pseudocode Process but rather a general view of how a project goes from an idea to an app with users. Cheers.

Answer 1

Someone gets an idea, often coming up with requirements on what the App should do. Someone with software knowledge designs it, including deciding on what technologies to use. One or more programmers go about implementing the design using code written in one or more programming languages. The App gets tested for its various features and if everything is good, it can be published on an App Store, shipped to a customer, used internaly within a firm etc.

Answer 2

Not all these steps need to happen sequentially or linearly. Iterations of the process are used to move from one face back to an earlier step if bugs need fixing etc.

Answer 3
