What is the difference between product development, application development, and software development?

A product is something that is built and sold to clients. Product development involves understanding both the requirements of your clients and your own technology constraints in order to design and build a product with the best possible feature set while minimizing your costs.

An application is a component of a software system. Application development involves understanding the requirement specifications and translating it into technical specifications and/or software code. This requires in depth understanding and skill in technology.

A software development role requires a good understanding of the process of building software systems in order to make it more efficient and defect free. It also requires good vision of the entire life cycle of the system to be able to plan its future evolution and shape it to the benefit of your organization.
