True or False: According to Sommerville, there is a general, universally followed process for programming that all software developers adhere to.
Correct Answer
False
Explanation
False. Programming is described as a personal activity — there is no general process that is usually followed. Some programmers start with components they understand; others start with less-understood ones. Some define data early; others leave it unspecified as long as possible.
