Study Notes
Software Development
- Software should be produced at a reasonable cost, in a reasonable time, and with good quality.
- Industrial-strength software is very expensive.
Efficiency
- Efficiency is the capability to provide appropriate performance relative to the number of resources used.
Project Management
- Concerned with ensuring software is delivered on time and on schedule.
- Involves planning, scheduling, supervising, and controlling project activities to meet required standards.
Maintenance Types
- Corrective Maintenance: fixing errors or making changes due to previously unknown problems.
- Adaptive Maintenance: modifying software to adapt to changes in the external environment.
- Perfective Maintenance: improving software performance or modifying it to meet new user requirements.
- Preventive Maintenance: preventing system deterioration through processes like reverse engineering and re-engineering.
Iterative Delivery Process Model
- A model where the system is built incrementally, with each iteration delivering a working software system providing value to the end user.
- Requirements are determined at the start of each iteration, and then designed and developed.
- The iteration ends with the delivery of a working software system providing some value to the end user.
Advantages of Iterative Delivery Process Model
- Allows for an overall view of the system, enabling a stable architecture design.
- Provides an opportunity to refine the design and development process.
