or case for the solution. Such development practice qualifies XP to be an agile method of software development. Citing Don well (1999, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2009) Extreme Programming improves a software project in five essential ways; communication, simplicity, feedback, respect, and courage. This can be likening as the software architectural process of an agile software designing. These five essentials are to ensure that all necessary objectives are met in software design using Agile method.…

principles of software engineering in The Mythical Man-Month. Brooks writes about common problems faced by software engineers and how the principles are applied. While elaborating on common problems encountered Brooks goes into specific details about systems that are antiquated due to advances in technology. However it is clear that the principles are still applicable to modern software engineering. The simile of the tar pit is an accurate portrayal of current endeavors attempted by ambitious…

In a typical Information Technology department there are usually at least 2 teams. The development team that creates systems or software and the operations team that keeps the system or software running. Separation of these two teams leads to problems as the organization grows. Typical problems I have experienced pertain to more projects or work than resources available, a single person holding all the information or being the go-to person for work in the department, and finally not passing on…

A Systems Development life cycle is a term used to describe the process for planning, creating, testing and creating information system. The system development life cycle applies to hardware as well as software configurations. A systems development life cycle consists of a number of clearly defined and distinct phases, these phases are used by Engineer’s and developers to plan for and deliver information systems. Application development life cycle (system development life cycle) also refers…

8 BEST PRACTICES TO FOLLOW IN AGILE METHODOLOGY From the late 1990’s, the software development sector experienced an upsurge in demand, as the world’s markets evolved to a more tech-oriented scope to their businesses. With a greater requirement for software development by companies targeting to increase delivery, value, and quality of output, a set of principles were constructed specifically for this purpose. These principles are collectively known as agile methodology, and they focus primarily…

Topic: “Comparison between waterfall Model and incremental Model” Abstract: This paper is about the comparison between two software models name waterfall model and incremental model. It provides framework which describe the similarities and differences among these two models of software development (waterfall and incremental model). So the main objective of this research paper is to represent these models and make comparison and shows the defects and features of these two models as well. Basic…

of computational science and engineering, concerned with the use of computational approaches to characterize, predict and simulate physical events and engineering systems governed by the laws of mechanics as it uses computers and digital systems software to help engineers…

Software Engineering is a very detailed field that explains the process of producing a software in a systematic way. Not only that, but it provides solutions that makes sure everything meets the deadlines provided by the customer and the least amount of resources are being used while doing so. However, according to an article posted on Capterra, only a third of the projects were completed or finished on time over the past year. This is a very disturbing number, considering how much companies…

Collaborative: Agile approach emphasizes, strong collaboration between the stakeholders involved in the project over contract negotiation [6] and being a Agile framework, Scrum embraces customer collaboration. At Intuit, our team’s customer were Business Analysts as they were the users of the data our ETL pipeline provided. All throughout the project we were in tight collaboration with Business Analysts in every iteration. I am a “customer empathetic” engineer and I think as a project manager…

Why should technical writers be included in the development lifecycle? Is the company concerned about missed deadlines, buggy code, and unhappy users? This may seem to counter previous experience, but an agile approach to documentation can address all these problems. This can only happen if the whole team is on board. Documentation under a waterfall technique gives the team little reason to care about capturing important information about a feature. It seems in the industry that…
