This experience will come to your career when you develop a program that gets used a lot and then needs to get modified or upgraded over time. My experience was with developing a program that could update our software.
I admit the first version was a bit tricky to use as it was my first attempt and couldn’t really put all the different pieces together to make it look user-friendly. As I learned more and got new requests from customers about what is expected for this program to handle, I was able to come up with a better design and extend the program I developed. It is important to keep the Open Closed Principle for all different types of projects. After exhausting the different edge cases on tests as well, we published it, and then over time, I added a CLI feature for it to make it easier to use.
The basics of the full-cycle software development process are as follows:
Requirement gathering and analysis
Design
Implementation or coding
Testing
Deployment
Maintenance
