Software testing is the process of executing an application or program with the intent of
finding software bugs. It also can be used to see if the intentions of the software were made; validate or verify that the program works as expected. NO SURPRISES!
Every single software developer talks about Open Source Software. They say, I love Open Source, Have you changed that program?, I’m installing Linux! But what the hell is Open Source?! Sometimes things are hard to explain and life is better with LEGOs, so here is an explanation of what open source is…
Software Architecture is the representation of the program that helps to understand how the software will behave. It serves as a guide for the design and the implementation teams. And is the first line of the system’s quality, such as performance, modifiability, and security. None of these could be done without an architectural vision.
There are Software Development Processes that help to plan and manage better the 
software that is going to be developed. Usually, industries use them to develop and
maintain an application. Each process has its own methodology; and each new process
pretends to be better than the old ones.
The most famous processes are:
There are big differences between these methodologies, but at the end developers use both daily. Usually there’s no preference for one or another, you just do what you have to do…
We end up with a piece of software that give us some kind of satisfaction when we use it. That is what software has become, a part of our lives that days before wasn’t even planned like that. People change, technology change and we keep updating our world just to improve our lifestyle.

I don’t know why everything in this life has a cycle, but anyway, I will talk about another cycle in this blog. The Software Development Life Cycle! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
This cycle is used in the software industry to develop high quality products and at the same time satisfy the client. Basically it consists on planing ahead everything, so the work could be done easily.
The basic steps are:

Not every process is perfect. They can also have some imperfections, and Agile is one of them. Even when it is very useful there are some disadvantages that don’t give the perfection to this method.
Here’s a list of some disadvantages:

Normally we use our electronic devices every single day of our lives. We use our mobile applications, play with our computers or even argue about the new technology. But, have you ever think about the past? How did people live without a smartphone? Or what we did to evolve from nothing to today’s technology?
