Technical & business needs gathering
The first step when working on a project is to gather the requirements of everyone involved, prioritize the important tasks, determine the overall scope of work and the process to be followed.
Structuring the project
A key function that Java developers provide during project development.
Development
In this phase, the Java developer writes the program code, tests it and makes changes if necessary.
Test
This task involves testing and debugging each feature once it is completed.
Deployment
In this phase, fully functional code is transferred to a live environment.
Other responsibilities of the Java developer include software maintenance and optimization, project management, leadership and liaison, and vendor management.
