Software developers today face significant opportunities and challenges. The appetite that both organizations and consumers share for software has made development a dynamic and competitive business, creating opportunities for large companies and start-ups alike. Because of the increasing role that software plays in almost every facet of our lives and businesses, developers are under constant pressure to perform. Today, developers are challenged to deliver increasingly advanced applications on stringent timetables. Compound this with the growing complexity of applications themselves, add distributed or outsourced development teams, and it’s easy to see why software is becoming larger and more complex to produce and manage.
