Study Notes

Methodology

  • A formalized approach or series of steps to achieve a particular goal
  • Necessary for large programs, as writing code without a well-thought-out system may not work

Structured Design

  • A methodical approach where projects move from one step to the next
  • Each step is typically finished before the next one begins

Waterfall Method

  • Identifies system requirements early in the development process
  • Design must be fully specified on paper before programming begins
  • Long time between system proposal and delivery of new system

Alternatives to SDLC

Rapid Application Development (RAD)

  • A software development model based on prototyping and quick feedback
  • Emphasizes iterative design and construction process to accomplish more in less time

Phased Development

  • A development project divided into several phases
  • Each phase ends with a defined output
  • Phases are performed in a specified order
  • Breaks down software development into manageable parts to reduce cost and complexity
