Software Development Services Flashcards

This flashcard set covers software development services, the work that outside firms, internal teams, and contractors perform to design, build, test, deliver, and maintain software for a client. It spans the basic vocabulary of the field, the common ways work is contracted and priced, the development lifecycle and the methodologies that organize it, quality assurance and release practices, and the communication and governance habits that keep projects on track.

To study effectively, work through one group at a time and read each question before looking at its answer. Say the answer aloud in your own words, then check whether your explanation matches the first sentence of the card. Revisit missed cards after a short break, and connect each idea to a real or imagined project, such as a scheduling app or an internal reporting tool. Return to earlier groups periodically, because the later subtopics build on terms introduced at the start, so review them often.
