1.2.3 Software development
Cards in this deck (13)
- 1Waterfall lifecycle,Sequence of stages, possible to go back.
- 2Stages of waterfall,Requirements, analysis, design, coding, testing, maintenance
- 3Advantages of waterfall,Works well when there is a clear expected output and they are unlikely to change.
- 4Disadvantages of waterfall,Not suited to high-risk projects, hard to go all the back because it costs time and money
- 5Rapid application development (RAD),Prototypes are made, the user feedbacks on them, that prototype either becomes the end product or improved and the cycle continues
- 6Advantages of RAD,The end product likely has good usability, the requirements dont have to be clear cut
- 7Disadvantages of RAD,Frequent contact needs to made with the end user, can become expensive
- 8Spiral model,Four stages that are iterated through : Stage 1 is Determine objectives; Stage 2 is Identify and resolve risks (the project might be deemed too risky here); Stage 3 is development and testing; Stage 4 is plan next iteration (used only if the project is not finished by stage 3)
- 9Advantages of spiral,Prioritises risks and changes in requirements
- 10Disadvantages of spiral,Requires people with experience, can be long and expensive
- 11Agile software development,Group of methods, designed to cope with changing requirements by producing multiple versions
- 12Advantages of agile,Able to adapt to users needs
- 13Disadvantages of agile,continual collaboration is needed, hard to determine timescale
