Software Types and Development Processes

In software development, it is important to select the optimal methodology based on the nature of the project and product characteristics. Embedded software development in particular faces unique challenges not found in general-purpose software, such as close coordination with hardware, strict resource constraints, and high reliability requirements.

This section systematically explains the entire development process, starting from the fundamental differences between embedded software and general-purpose software, the characteristics and proper use of waterfall and agile development, design methodologies to prevent rework, and quality assurance concepts based on the V-model.

For those aiming to become embedded software engineers or those who are unsure about choosing a development methodology, this section provides practical knowledge and decision criteria, showing the path to project success.
