Study Notes

Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)

SDLC guides the creation of effective software, from initiation to maintenance.
Stages include Planning, Analysis, Design, Development, Testing, Deployment, and Maintenance.
Planning defines project scope, resources, and goals.
Analysis gathers requirements and defines functionalities.
Design creates the software's architecture and user interface.
Development translates designs into code.
Testing identifies and fixes defects to ensure a bug-free product.
Deployment releases the software to the production environment.
Maintenance sustains and improves software based on feedback and changing requirements.

Office Automation Tools

Office automation tools streamline office tasks, enhancing efficiency and productivity.
These tools cover functions like word processing, data representation, communication, and collaboration.
They reduce manual tasks, save time, and improve collaboration.
Key Considerations for Implementation include employee training, integration with existing systems, and security measures to protect sensitive data.

Operating System Dynamics

Operating systems manage computer hardware and software resources to ensure smooth operation of organizational IT infrastructure.
Operating systems manage hardware resources (CPU, memory, storage devices, and peripheral devices) and software resources (loading, execution, and termination of programs).
Process Management includes:
- Multitasking enabling multiple processes to run concurrently
- Process Scheduling determining the order in which processes are executed.
- Task Switching allowing users to seamlessly transition between different applications and processes.
