    Study Notes

    Software Process Overview

    • Software processes involve steps for designing, developing, testing, and maintaining software.
    • Effective error detection in early phases avoids complications in later stages.

    Waterfall Process

    • Sequential phases: only advance after review.
    • Advantage: Early error detection.
    • Disadvantage: Inflexibility to changes; not suitable for emerging technologies or learning developers.
    • Best suited for simple projects.

    Spiral Process

    • Main steps include defining objectives, identifying risks, developing and testing, and planning next iterations.
    • Repeats steps to refine software progressively.
    • Advantage: Early identification of problems and adapts easily to changes; allows client feedback.
    • Disadvantage: Complexity and higher costs.

    Evolutionary Prototyping

    • Steps involve starting with a concept, creating a prototype, refining it based on feedback, and finalizing for release.
    • Encourages iterative feedback from customers for adjustments.
    • Advantage: Quick feedback integration.
    • Disadvantage: Uncertainty in timelines for completion as improvements are continually made.

    Rational Unified Process (RUP)

    • Inception phase focuses on understanding project requirements and budgeting.
    • Elaboration phase involves analysis and basic software design.
    • Construction phase concentrates on development of the software.
    • Transition phase focuses on deploying software to users.
    • Each phase is distinct to ensure thorough project management.

    Agile & Test Driven Development (TDD)

    • Red Phase: Write tests based on requirements.
    • Green Phase: Write code to pass tests.
    • Refactor Phase: Improve code while ensuring all tests still pass.
    • Cycle continues with new tests and requirements.
    • Emphasizes iterative development based on tests to maintain quality.

    Factors for Choosing a Software Process Model

    • Understanding Requirements: Knowledge of what the software must do is critical.
    • Project Lifetime: Consider whether the project is short-term or long-term.
    • Level of Risk: Analyze familiarity with the project scope and technology.
    • Schedule and Resources: Assess the time and resources available for development.
    • Interaction with Management and Customers: Determine frequency of customer engagement.
    • Expertise of the Team: Availability of knowledgeable team members for the chosen method.

    Key Points

    • Selecting the right software process is crucial for project success.
    • Careful consideration of project factors prevents potential failure.

    System Design

    • Analogous to creating a house blueprint: involves understanding requirements, design layout, and ensuring effective documentation.
    • Organizes components for optimal system performance and reliability.
    • Utilizes design patterns to address common issues and allow for scalability.

    API (Application Programming Interface)

    • Compares to a restaurant menu: provides options without needing to understand internal workings.
    • APIs facilitate requests and responses between clients and servers without exposing underlying complexity.
