Questions and Answers

What is software development process?

  • A process of dividing software development work into large, sequential steps or sub-processes to worsen design and/or product management
  • A process of dividing software development work into large, sequential steps or sub-processes to improve design and/or product management
  • A process of dividing software development work into smaller, parallel, or sequential steps or sub-processes to improve design and/or product management (correct)
  • A process of dividing software development work into smaller, parallel, or sequential steps or sub-processes to worsen design and/or product management
  • What is the difference between software development process and life-cycle model?

  • Software development process and life-cycle model are different terms for the same process
  • Software development process is a more specific term to refer to a specific process chosen by a specific organization while a life-cycle model is a more general term for a category of methodologies (correct)
  • Software development process and life-cycle model are the same
  • Software development process is a more general term for a category of methodologies while a life-cycle model is a more specific term to refer to a specific process chosen by a specific organization
  • What is agile software development?

  • A software development methodology that involves only planning
  • A software development methodology that favors iterative development and the rapid construction of prototypes instead of large amounts of up-front planning (correct)
  • A software development methodology that doesn't involve any planning

    Study Notes

    Software Development Process: Key Points

    • Software development process is a process of dividing software development work into smaller, parallel, or sequential steps or sub-processes to improve design and/or product management.
    • The methodology may include the pre-definition of specific deliverables and artifacts that are created and completed by a project team to develop or maintain an application.
    • Most modern development processes can be vaguely described as agile, and other methodologies include waterfall, prototyping, iterative and incremental development, spiral development, rapid application development, and extreme programming.
    • A life-cycle "model" is sometimes considered a more general term for a category of methodologies, and a software development "process" a more specific term to refer to a specific process chosen by a specific organization.
    • Agile software development refers to a group of software development frameworks based on iterative development, where requirements and solutions evolve via collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams.
    • Continuous integration is the practice of merging all developer working copies to a shared mainline several times a day.
    • Rapid application development (RAD) is a software development methodology, which favors iterative development and the rapid construction of prototypes instead of large amounts of up-front planning.
    • The waterfall model is a sequential development approach, in which development is seen as flowing steadily downwards (like a waterfall) through several phases.
    • In 1988, Barry Boehm published a formal software system development "spiral model," which combines some key aspects of the waterfall model and rapid prototyping methodologies.
    • Shape Up is a set of principles and techniques that Basecamp developed internally to overcome the problem of projects dragging on with no clear end. Its primary target audience is remote teams.
    • Some "process models" are abstract descriptions for evaluating, comparing, and improving the specific process adopted by an organization.
    • Software development organizations implement process methodologies to ease the process of development.
