About Software Engineering and Development Methodologies

GoConqr Original

What the resources cover

The page mixes process models, agile practice, design, testing and tooling. Quizzes such as Scrum Developer, SDLC and The Waterfall Method test how teams organise work. The deck Questões do Scrum asks who records work estimates during a Sprint and how the Product Backlog is ordered. Slide sets on the Unified Process describe an iterative, incremental, architecture-centred framework.

Design, quality and testing

The quizzes called First (ADSE I) [Quiz 1] and First (ADSE I) [Quiz 3] cover two linked areas. The first asks how software design is classified, what the key design issues are and what makes up an architectural design. The second looks at quality standards, quality tools and finding the parts of a program that a set of test cases does not exercise. The flowchart Test Driven Development shows requirements being turned into test cases before the software is fully built.

Where to start

  1. Open a mind map such as Software Process Models or Software Processes to see how the pieces fit, including coping with change, prototyping and rework.
  2. Move to a focused map like eXtreme Programming, SCRUM or DSDM.
  3. Take a quiz on the same topic and note what you missed.
  4. Use flashcards, such as SCRUM Glossary or DevOps Glossary, to fix the terms.

Exam-style practice

Some quizzes follow certification and exam styles. CET_TARDE - MTA Software Development Fundamentals 3 asks about the three states of a Windows service. PSPO and Scrum Master Custom Test suit candidates preparing for Scrum certification. School students can look at OCR A Level Computer Science Paper 2 and the flashcards labelled 1.2.3 Software Development.

Where it sits

This unit belongs to the Software and Systems Development strand of Computing and ICT. It sits alongside the wider work of building and running software, so you can move between methods, requirements and testing as your course does.

Choose one topic, work through a map and a quiz together, then make your own flashcards for the terms that stick badly.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with a mind map such as Software Process Models or Software Processes for an overview of how development is organised. Then try a quiz like SDLC or The Waterfall Method to see what you already know, and follow up with a focused topic.

What do the mind maps cover?

They cover process models and methods such as eXtreme Programming, SCRUM and DSDM, plus requirements elicitation and validation, design patterns, maintenance, quality frameworks, reliability engineering, software reuse and service-oriented architectures. There are over 900 mind maps, so you can pick the topic your course is on.

Are there resources for Scrum certification?

Yes. Quizzes such as PSPO, Scrum Master Custom Test, Scrum Developer and Scrum master certification sit alongside Scrum flashcards and the SCRUM Glossary. The PO - Test1 quiz also asks how a Scrum Team uses artefacts to make ongoing decisions.

Which exams and levels do these suit?

Most resources suit university students and professional candidates, with some for school students. The listed items mention GCSE Computer Science, A-level Computer Science, MTA 98-361, PMP, PSM and Cisco DevAsc, so you can look for material close to your course.

Are the resources free, and who made them?

Every resource here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you create your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.

What if my topic is missing?

Try a nearby topic first. Requirements, testing, Git, UML and agile each have several resources under different titles. If you still cannot find what you need, make your own mind map or flashcards and fill the gap yourself.
