Agile software development

Abstract— improving performance of software, sites and services is a holy grail of software industry. A new approach for implementation of Poka-Yoke method in software performance engineering is proposed. Poka-Yoke is a mistake proofing technique used in product design. The effectiveness of Poka-Yoke in software development was evaluated using two case studies: product redesign mini-project given to six groups of students and a survey of online services in the software industry. Both…

Having looked back on my mid year performance review I can say that I have accomplished everything and more what I set out in my original Mid Year review. Since my last performance review I have managed to complete the project area on share point, this has been a challenging piece of work to complete as there has been a lot of extra added benefits to make the new project area work for everyone. The new project area has a new 'task list' which will now assist with issues needing to be addressed…

chart, PERT chart, logic network, product breakdown structure and work breakdown structure. (Duncan, no date) Besides these, the logical framework approach is also widely used by donors and governments in the planning, monitoring and evaluation of development projects. The function of logical framework is to help the project design, implementation and evaluation. (WEDC) The variations of the logical framework are known as Goal Oriented Project Planning (GOPP) or Objectives Oriented Project…

Smith and I had a productive software security concerns conversation with Vipul this past Thursday (6/1/17). One of the questions we asked him was if Ebix has some sort of ISO certification like ISO 9126 and found that they do not. Per Vipul, Ebix is CMMI level 5 compliant and explained that this accreditation has more rigorous requirements than ISO certification. Vipul will share a framework document that lists ten security/risk assessment tenets that Ebix follows to build secure web…

Gattaca, is it really down to a science? “Technology makes things faster and more cost-effective, but it's not perfect. It requires you to be as flexible as you can be. - John Phillips” This relates to the society in the movie “Gattaca” due to the fact that the society is only for the “people” that are “valid” meaning that only people that have been genetically modified are accepted in the advanced work field of the future. Due to these facts that only “valid” people are accepted in the world,…

people who leave the company after being trained in agile and the effort required to train new or old programmers to work with the agile ideology. 2.2.1 The Agile Model Agile Software development The agile development method is a hybrid between the incremental and iterative development model. The Agile software development ideology constitutes many offshoot development models; these include Extreme Programming (XP), Scrum and Dynamic System development model (DSDM). These models vary in the…

Chapter : 5 Aspect-oriented Secure Software Modeling Object Oriented Programming (OOP) [1] uses encapsulation and abstraction through class that captures both functionality and behavior and internal structure. In the software system development, besides the basic functionality, there are another concerns as synchronization, distribution, logging, error handling, security management, etc. If each one of these concerns are processed independently from the remaining part of the system, the…

The authors of Risks of Rapid Application Development lead off their discussion with this salient point (Agarwal, Prasad, Tanniru, & Lynch, 2000). They argue that management should not force the change through the organization but rather build a cultural shift that is accepting of what the process is looking to accomplish (Agarwal, Prasad, Tanniru, & Lynch, 2000). Ensuring that their is top down support doesn’t guarantee success however, without the support of management the process will not…

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…

new product development, it can be easily identified that certain actions and processes would be beneficial for the product development of Physiowall. We can identify some problems Physiowall encountered in the early stages that have had a long-lasting effect on the entire process and could have been prevented by following the stages. 4.1. The early stages In the screening phase, Jacob Lindgreen has managed to meet most of Kahn’s (2012) criteria for successful new product development, although…
