About "Software Development Methodologies" topic:

Various Software Development Methodologies have been developed to guide the processes involved, including the waterfall model (which was the original SDLC method); rapid application development (RAD); joint application development (JAD); the fountain model; the spiral model; build and fix; and synchronize-and-stabilize. Frequently, several models are combined into some sort of hybrid methodology. Documentation is crucial regardless of the type of model chosen or devised for any application, and is usually done in parallel with the development.

A software development methodology in software engineering is a framework that is used to structure, plan, and control the process of developing an information system. Discuss the various process techniques to improve the quality of a software development effort.

Adrian Hoe  |  Argues in support of  "Waterfall"  |  4 years ago
I have been using Waterfall model for 90% of my projects. The result is, I spend less time in coding (about 11% of total project time in coding). If the software is large, has long life-cycle, requirements do not change often; Waterfall is a...

There are few frameworks that deliver quality with less than 25% of testing effort. One such framework is Personal Software Process, where I experienced less than 10% of testing effort. This was not easy to achive, but the fruits were very tasty...
RASHMI BHARDWAJ  |  Argues in support of  "should be 25% of higher"  |  4 years ago
i think the total effort should be halved between the development and testing team beacuse after the first initial release to testing team there can be bugs that arise and time is need to fix as well as test.

Most software projects fail. In fact, a report says that more than 80% are unsuccessful -- either because they are over budget, late, missing functions or a combination of all three. Moreover, 30% of software projects are so poorly executed that they are canceled before completion. However, there is help out there. To vastly improve the success of any software development project, it's helpful to follow these 10 simple guidelines: Recruit skilled and experienced people. Today's environment is more complex that ever. Tools help, but in the end, inexperienced people produce mediocre results at best and, in most cases, fail because they don't understand good project management and the best way...

First of all, Finally() is not method unless you define in your class. Finally is block of code. Finalize is method, you might be talking about. Both will not be executed in case of intrupt to JVM/Thread (If used in thread) or Unexpected killing...

Software as a service (SaaS) is the talk of the day and it will increase in its popularity since there a scope of opensource to push it higher and higher. Gartner predicts that SaaS will be driven by opensource in the future. And the prediction is supported by facts and figures. By 2010, 90 percent of software as a service (SaaS) providers will have some open-source component in their technology infrastructure stacks (that is, operating system, application server and database) to reduce software acquisition expenses, according to Gartner, Inc.   User communities are expanding around application-platform-as-a-service providers and will leverage open-source practices for sharing software applications.   As the number of software as a service users increase the opensource support will also grow along with it, definitely. The more SaaS vendors use open source in the technology stack, the lower their software acquisition cost becomes. Users, however, should not expect cost savings to be...

For forty years since India's independence from the British in 1947, the Indian car market was dominated by two localized versions of ancient European designs -- the Morris Oxford, known as the Ambassador, and a old Fiat. This lack of product activity in the Indian market was mainly due to the Indian government's complex regulatory system that effectively banned foreign-owned operations. Within this system (referred to informally as the "license raj"), any Indian firm that wanted to import technology or products needed a license/permit from the government. The difficulty of getting these licenses stifled automobile and component imports, creating a low volume high cost car industry that was inefficient, unprofitable, and technologically obsolete. The two dominant products Ambassador and Fiat, although customized to the poor road conditions in India, were based on a stale design concept (with outdated features), and were also fuel inefficient. Then came the abolition os license raj,...

One young academically excellent person went for an interview for a managerial position in a big company. He passed the first interview; BUT in that Company, the director did the last interview, made the last decision. The director discovered from the CV, that the youth's academic result was excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research, never was there a year he did not score. The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarship in school?" and the youth answered "no". The director asked, " Did your father pay your school fees?". The youth answered, "my father passed away when I was one year old and it was my mother who paid my school fees". The director asked, " Where did your mother work?" the youth answered, "my mother worked as cloth cleaner." The director requested the youth to show his hands and the youth showed a pair of hands that was smooth and perfect to the director. The director asked, " Did you ever help your mother wash clothes...

  W elcome to our ‘MahaManan Kendra’ ( MahaManan education center).  We think, customary (formal) academic (school – college etc.) education is not sufficient for true development of human beings. For that, we need such an uncustomary (non-formal) basic self-development education which can help us to be fully developed human beings.     We want to establish an excellent –incomparable system of essential education for true universal self-development, world wide– that is ‘MahaDharma’ –the ideal way of better living –the way to better life. ‘MahaManan’ is the practical aspect of ‘MahaDharma’.  We are benefited and we want also you be benefited with us! If you are interested in this program, please join us and extend your helping hands.   'MahaManan' that is to say-- 'Maha Atma-Vikas' with 'Maha-Yoga' education (the excellent true universal self-developmental education) is not only some different from other Yoga and self-developmental procedure, but something special. 'Maha Atma-Vikas'...

Nicholas Carr's article "IT Doesn't Matter" (Harvard Business Review, May 2003) challenges the value proposition for IT. He argues that as companies become more dependent on IT for their day-to-day operations, so the emphasis switches to managing availability, reliability and security. As such, businesses should manage IT as a commodity. Do you subscribe to the Carr view? Do you align IT with the business in a purely supportive role? But innovations within IT continue to create possibilities and options for businesses that did not exist before. But where IT engages the business, pro actively and as an equal, companies will be able to continue to deliver strategic advantage through IT. The following will be useful in assessing the level of business engagement: - to whom does the IT function report in your business? For example, the Board (where the CIO/IT director is a Board member), the CEO (who has a business development focus), the COO (who has a business operations focus) or the...
