What is a progress animation in software development?

A progress animation is a commonly used graphical control element that depicts the progress of an operation in software development. In its simplest form, a progress animation consists of a bar that is either empty or filled to represent the progress of the operation. More sophisticated progress animations may also include text or other graphical elements to provide more information about the progress of the operation. Progress animations are often used in conjunction with buttons or other controls to provide feedback to the user about the status of an operation. When used in this way, progress animations can help to improve the usability of software by providing visual cues that guide the user through the use of the software.
