Software developers conceptualize, design, code and produce the programs we use every day.

The specific tasks and duties of a software developer will vary depending on the employer and industry. Generally, software developers do the following:

  • Evaluate user needs to determine whether they will need existing, modified, or new software
  • Plan out each part of an application or system, creating diagrams and models of how the program will flow and which programming languages will be used
  • Direct the work of software programmers as they code and test the program
  • Create reference documentation so the program can be upgraded and maintained
  • Conduct testing of the program and create regular updates

At a recent community meeting, Herzing-New Orleans Campus President Jamie Hardage learned that local emergency personnel were having trouble accessing medical supplies and gear, partially due to a shortage caused by the coronavirus crisis. For example, fire department first responders were wearing long sleeve shirts to help protect themselves from possible exposure when responding to emergency medical calls. He immediately knew the campus could help.
