A systematic literature review using the PRISMA framework identified the most widely used software engineering development methodology in scientific research and its distribution in various research fields in the last decade (2015–2024). This research aims to analyze the use of software development methods. Using the Publish or Perish and Mendeley tools, the identification of several papers shows that the Agile methodology, especially Scrum, still dominates current software development practices because of its flexibility. There is a trend of combining Agile with approaches such as APLE and SME. The methodology has also spread to the educational field with BYOS to teach software engineering concepts and human-computer interaction with Agile to teach computational thinking. Formal methods are used to guarantee product quality. These findings provide a comprehensive overview of the current state and trends in software development methodology adoption across various research domains.
