My fifth week doing task force.

Being on time is the best thing you can do as a software developer. Most of the time you will find yourself having many things on the table here I mean many tasks that are on deadlines and have to be done before the deadline. Not only this week's experience was to learn how to manage time but also we learned how to test and document your software.

Let's start by covering the software testing and documentation part, you might be asking yourselves why do we document software and why do we have to write a test that runs against our software. Every professional software development company, you might join will require you to have skills in testing and documentation but the documentation I am talking about here is the API documentation if you are in the back-end. there is more than one tool on the market you can use to document your API such as Postman, Swagger.

Testing your code will prevent you from deploying codes that have errors in them, and this will ensure the clients or the users of your application are having the best experience because they are using the application that has been tested before being shipped to them. There are many reasons to test your App. Documenting your app helps your team and other stakeholders to have Intel of what your application does by describing the inputs and output.

Last but not least let talk about time management. getting to know what to do first and what to do last is the best practice of time management this practice is called prioritizing tasks. and also consider knowing what is expected of you. I mean knowing what the client is expecting from you helps in allocating tasks and starting working on them. to conclude testing and documentation should not miss in your software development process.
