The phases of software development are requirements analysis of a desired software, specification of the problem, designing the function of the software, implementation of the software,testing the application, documentation and at last maintenance.

First of all - idea or concept of software, imagine it's features. Second - project on the paper or UML diagramms. Third - realisation aka programming.

That depends. It used to be analysis (what's the problem), design (design a possible solution), implementation (write computer language code), testing (see if the proposed solution solves the problem), and maintenance (keep it up to date and working). Now, though, there's agile design, rapid prototyping, etc., etc.

First get the requirements for the software project. Think of use-case models for example. Than you make a design with packages and class diagrams. After that you can implement the constructed sofware. While implementing the software you can test your work with unit and functional tests.

Answer by  gigo (1706)

The four phases of software development are analysis, design, implementation and test. Analysis means to make a specification, design means to make things like uml diagrams, implemetation means programming/creating the software. Test means let somebody test it. These phases can come again and again. After the test you have to start often again to analyse your project.
