  • SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGIES Methodologies
    SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGIES Methodologies • Waterfall • Prototype model • Incremental • Iterative • Spiral • RAD Waterfall • Sequential design process • Progress is seen as flowing steadily downwards (like a waterfall) through SDLC Prototyping • Creating prototypes of software applications i.e. incomplete versions of the software program being developed • A prototype typically simulates only a few aspects of, and may be completely different from, the final product. Incremental Build Model • The model is designed, implemented and tested incrementally (a little more is added each time ). • Finished when satisfies all the requirements. • Combines the elements of the waterfall model with the iterative philosophy of prototyping. Iterative and Incremental Development • Iterative and incremental development is any combination of both iterative design or iterative method and incremental build model for development. Incremental vs. Iterative A Bit Different Understanding Effort in Iterative Development Spiral Model • Combining elements of design and prototyping- in-stages • Combines the features of the prototyping and the waterfall model • The spiral model is intended for large, expensive and complicated projects • Advantages of top-down and bottom-up concepts RAD • Minimal planning and fast prototyping. • Developing instead of planning • The lack of pre- planning generally allows software to be written much faster, and makes it easier to change requirements. Agile • Group of software development methods • Based on iterative and incremental development • Most important phrases • self -organizing, cross - functional teams • adaptive planning, • evolutionary development and delivery, • a time-boxed iterative approach, • rapid and flexible response to change. • A conceptual framework • The Agile Manifesto in 2001..

  • System Development Life Cycle Methodology
    2 System Development Life Cycle Methodology Learning Objectives : • To introduce the general concepts of various approaches of systems development, their framework, advantages and disadvantages; • To explain in detail the phases involved in Systems Development Life Cycle(SDLC); • To understand the key issues while acquiring or developing system for achieving goals set; • To discuss in detail various System Development Tools like – DFD, Decision Tree, Flowcharts etc.; and • To understand the auditors’ role in SDLC. 2.1 Introduction Information systems serve many different purposes, ranging from the processing of business transactions - to provide information needed to decide recurring issues, assisting senior officials with difficult strategy formulation, and linking office information and corporate data. But how do such complex information systems come into existence? Of course, through people. Technology has developed at a rapid pace but the most important aspect of any system is human know-how and the use of ideas to harness the computer so that it performs the required tasks. This process is essentially what system development is all about. To be of any use, a computer-based information system must function properly, be easy to use, and suit the organization for which it has been designed. If a system helps people to work more efficiently they will use it. If not, they will surely avoid it. 2.2 System Development Process In business, systems development refers to the process of examining a business situation with the intent of improving it through better procedures and methods. System development can generally be thought of as having two major components : System Analysis and System Design.

    CC3018NI – Advanced Systems Analysis Semester One, 2011-2012 Answer ALL questions in Section A AND TWO questions from Section B. Section A – includes Short Answer Questions 1-5 and Question 6 based on a Case Study. Answer all questions 1. Explain the following terms in relation to software development – giving two examples of each: a) problem domain b) model. (6 marks) Problem Domain: A problem domain is the area of expertise or application that needs to be examined to solve a problem. A problem domain is simply looking at only the topics of an individual's interest, and excluding everything else. Model: A model is an abstraction of some aspect of an existing or planned system. Mod- els are created to serve particular purposes, for example, to present a human-understandable description of some aspect of a system or to present information in a form that can be mechanically analyzed. 2. Summaries the general areas of guidance which might be given by a Software Development Method. (6 marks) 1) Identification of required software 2) Analysis of the software requirements 3) Detailed specification of the software requirements 4) Software design 5) Programming 6) Testing 7) Maintenance 3. Write brief notes on each of the following pairs of terms: a) i) Structured ii) Object-Oriented b) i) Waterfall ii) Incremental/Iterative c) i) Heavyweight ii) Lightweight (6 marks Structured Programming: (sometimes known as modular programming) is a subset of procedural programming that enforces a logical structure on the program being written to make it more efficient and easier to understand and modify.
