Software developers do the following:
- Use various source debuggers and visual development environments to modify, write, and debug software for client applications.
- Document and test client software and write code to create applications that either stand alone or boost access to servers and services.
Many companies require candidates to have experience in the field and a bachelor’s degree in software development, computer programming, information technology, or computer science. Software developers typically work in office settings, and many also serve as information technology specialists in addition to their software development roles within a company.
