Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic that occurred in 2020 had an impact on nearly every organization, including the technology-oriented ones. The effects have ranged from minimal hazards to serious interruptions, but also thriving enterprises, depending on the various industry areas of the companies. During this period, the ability to move quickly and to be resilient have been necessary for survival. To fight the pandemic, software developers worldwide had come up with several technological developments and advancements. This paper will focus on the changes COVID-19 brought to software development, the processes that software firms followed during the pandemic, and any recommendations needed to help software development during pandemics.
