Study Notes
Software Development Methodologies and Distributed Systems
- Spiral model represents software development phases with loops of a spiral, where the radius shows the cost and the angular dimension illustrates progress.
- Spiral model consists of four quadrants: requirements gathering, evaluating alternatives, software development, and review.
- Agile methodology is based on iterative development, breaking tasks into smaller iterations or sprints to minimize project risks and delivery time.
- Agile methodology involves requirement gathering, planning, system design, development, quality assurance, and deployment within each iteration.
- Application programming interfaces enable interaction between applications.
- Distributed software engineering enhances data processing performance by distributing computational tasks over multiple machines.
- Distributed systems are used in telecommunications, cryptocurrency, reservation systems, video conferencing, and supply chain management.
- Distributed systems are highly scalable and fault-tolerant but more complex to design than embedded systems.
- Message-oriented middleware (MOM) provides APIs to enable communication between software components in distributed systems.
- Challenges of distributed systems include security, network failure, synchronization, and network architecture.
- Open Systems Interconnection is a seven-layer model used to facilitate communication between various systems.
- Architectural patterns provide common understanding and language for software design solutions, making it easier to use the same solutions for regular problems.
