Lean software development

most important parts of software development life cycle. It is an element of software quality assurance and can be described as a process of running a program in such a manner as to uncover any errors. Testing also demonstrates that software functions appear to be working according to specifications, that behavioral and performance requirements appear to have been met. That test will be carried out when the system is complete. In this chapter, I test my simulation software with testing method.…

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…

Task 2 (M1) Relook at this criteria – Show examples Discuss the importance of quality of code. There are many reasons why code quality is important to have when you’re creating a program one of these reasons are to make it easier to read and appeal to a wide audience this can be done not only by separating coding and indenting it, but also by adding comments to your coding with descriptive text about what the certain piece is doing, as well as this giving specific names to certain tools used in…

3- IT and Business managers should work together for removing any communication obstacles to have a successful communication going. (Gartenstein, 2012).

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…

The waterfall method of development is a sequential design model, used in software development processes. The process flow is downwards like a waterfall, through the phases of concept initiation, analysis, design, construction, testing, production/implementation and maintenance. The Waterfall model is typically associated with the development of software. It can however, apply to projects that do not have a technology/software component. Its origins stem from the hardware domains of…

One of the advantages of perceptual versus instrumental evaluation is the cost and/or availability. The equipment needed for instrumental evaluation is very expensive and may be difficult to obtain depending on the setting where the evaluation is taking place. For perceptual analysis on the other hand the clinician can perform the analysis herself or can have someone else complete the analysis for little to no money. Additionally, with the expensive equipment needed for instrumental analysis the…

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…
