    Software Development Study Sheet

    Uploaded by

    Lee Nicholl
    Software development involves different approaches like agile development and waterfall development. Agile development focuses on frequent cooperation between developers and users, producing working software early to get feedback and adapting requirements throughout. Waterfall development uses formal documentation at each stage and strict regulation where one stage must be completed before another begins. Both approaches involve key stages like requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, documentation, and evolution to maintain the software over time.

    Software Development

    Introduction:
     Software development is a term used to describe methods
    used in the process of developing software.
     Many of these terms have been adapted from the older fields
    of engineering and project management.

    Agile development:
     Requirements

     Design
     Develop
     Test
     Deploy
    Key features:
     Frequent co-operation between developers and users.
     Willing to change and adapt as user needs throughout.
     Produce working software early to get user feedback.
     Striving for simplicity of design.
     Self-organising teams + reflection to become effective.
    Summary:
     Agile development approach still uses documentation.
     It displays great importance to flexibility.
     Examples include;
    scrum,
    extreme programming,
    unified process.
    Waterfall development:
     Analysis
     Requirement speciation
     Design
     Development
     Testing and integration
     Implementation / Deployment

    Key features:
     Formal Documentation at end of each stage.
     No stage should begin untill the last was reviewed.
     Every stage is strictly regulated.
    Arguments in favour of the Waterfall approach:
     Spending less time fixing problems early on.
     Number of documents allows project to be understood.
     Processes in which great detail is needed
     Projects can be monitored more clearly.
    Summary:
     Documentation must be reviewed and approved
     It displays great formal and strict planning.
    Software development cycle:
     The name refers to the process of the project from start to
    finish.
     It is important to plan how it will be developed and
    maintained.

    Key stages:
     Requirements
     Also knows as analysis stage (investigate and
    plan).
     Team decides what software needs to do.
     What will the user want?
     Design
     Visual appearance
     Pseudocode is used
     Implementation
     Program code is written
     Code is normally written with high level
    language.
     Testing
     Variety of devices? Phone, Computer, ect.
     Is there a way that the program will crash?
     Documentation
     Effective communication is key
     Includes;
    Project plans
    Design plans
    Code with comments
    Test plans
    Data
     Evolution
     How will software evolve after launch?
     Maintained to work with new devices or new
    platforms such as engines, rewritten for
    better performance, project language
    updates, changes to improve how well the
    code runs, ect.
