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. Team…

Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) systems have been implemented in many hospitals and more are being implemented each day. The benefits of these systems are supposed to be increased patient safety, decreased work for nurses and physicians, decreases in delays in care and improved patient outcomes. However, unintended consequences have been realized as well. These unintended consequences need to be recognized and managed. Ash, Sittig, Poon, Guappone, Campell and Dyskstra have…

Scrum adopts adaptive approach to face unpredictable changes in requirements also known as requirement volatility. It focuses on maximizing team’s ability to deliver product in time, response quickly to changes in requirements and adapt to the changes and need in the market.

growing requirement in software development. This framework is a kind of software which can automate the pre-generated test cases. So, for developing test automation software an incremental and timeframe iterative approach known as Agile Software Development Methodology can be used. It provides software developers a working test framework early with respect to traditional software development methods e.g. waterfall model. In this paper, an approach of developing test automation software with…

Agile development: Scrum Methodology Introduction: Today a major challenge that is being faced by the Software Industries is their wiliness to choose and implement the current trending agile methodologies and how the framework can be implemented and make it running. When compared to the traditional approach of the Water fall model, where development is handled as a linear series of event from conception to production, I would recommend Scrum as its approach is granular and phase wise. The term…

throughout the software development, which is suitable for medium and large scale projects. On the other hand RUP model has some shortcomings as well, such as rapidly requirement changes not being recommended in RUP, which tends to be slow and over-budgeted; reputation in the sense of small and fast paced projects are substandard. As we are also aware of Scrum is a framework, which is not providing proper plan for software development, like a development process to define Software Development…
