Study Notes
System Development Methodologies
- Waterfall Model: An iterative and incremental approach to software development, focusing on flexibility, collaboration, and customer feedback.
- Agile Methodology: Emphasizes adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, and continuous improvement through close collaboration between cross-functional teams.
- Iterative Model: Breaks down the software development process into smaller, manageable iterations, each involving a mini-Waterfall cycle of planning, analysis, design, implementation, testing, and deployment.
- Spiral Model: Combines the iterative nature of prototyping with the systematic aspects of the Waterfall Model, involving repeated cycles of risk analysis, development, and testing.
- V-Model: A sequential development process emphasizing testing throughout the software development lifecycle, with testing phases corresponding to development phases.
- Prototype Model: An iterative approach that focuses on creating early, simplified versions of the final product (prototypes) to gather feedback and refine requirements.
- DevOps: Emphasizes collaboration, communication, and integration between development and operations teams. DevOps streamlines the process, accelerates delivery, and improves software quality through automation.
- Lean Software Development: Inspired by lean manufacturing, this methodology aims to maximize customer value by minimizing waste, effort, and resources.
- Feature-Driven Development (FDD): An iterative and incremental software development methodology focusing on delivering features incrementally and emphasizing clear communication, domain modeling, and feature-based planning.
- Rapid Application Development (RAD): Prioritizes speed and flexibility through iterative prototyping, frequent feedback, and rapid development cycles.
Understanding the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
- Planning: Defining project scope, goals, timelines, resources, and key stakeholders. Assess project feasibility.
- Analysis: Understanding the existing system and gathering user requirements. Define system needs and expectations.
- Design: Creating a blueprint for the software system (architectural design, database design, user interface design, etc.).
- Implementation: Writing the code for the software based on the design.
- Testing: Evaluating the functionality of the software using various tests like unit, integration, and system tests.
- Deployment: Launching the software in the live environment, training users, and transitioning data.
- Maintenance: Ongoing support and maintenance to address issues, update the system, and enhance its functionality.
Requirements Gathering and Analysis
- Interviews: In-depth conversations with stakeholders to understand their needs and perspectives.
- Surveys: Structured questionnaires to gather data from a larger group of stakeholders.
- Observation: Directly observing users in their environment to understand their workflow, challenges, and requirements.
- Prototyping: Developing mock-ups or prototypes of the software to help stakeholders visualize and experience the proposed system.
- Brainstorming: Collaborative sessions for idea generation and creativity.
Use Case Diagrams
- Use Cases: Specific ways a system interacts with external entities (such as users or other systems) to achieve user goals.
- Actors: The entities interacting with the system (e.g., customers, administrators, or other systems).
- Relationships: Indicate how actors interact with the system.
System Design Principles
- Client-Server Architecture: Distributes tasks between service requesters (clients) and providers (servers).
- Layered Architecture: Divides a system into distinct layers (e.g., presentation, business logic, data) with each layer handling specific functionalities.
- Microservices Architecture: Structures a system as a collection of independent, self-contained services.
- Data Flow Diagrams (DFD): Illustrate the flow of data within a system.
- Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERD): Visual representations of entities and their relationships in a system.
- Use Cases: Detailed descriptions of how a system interacts with users following predefined steps.
System Implementation
- Installation: Setting up the hardware and software components.
- Configuration: Configuring system settings, user accounts, and security.
- Data Migration: Transferring data from existing systems to the new one.
- Testing: Validating the system's functionality and performance, including unit, integration, system, and user acceptance testing.
System Deployment
- Big Bang Deployment: Deploying the entire system at once.
- Phased Deployment: Deploying the system in stages.
- Pilot Deployment: Deploying the system to a limited group for feedback.
Maintenance Fundamentals
- Corrective Maintenance: Fixing system defects.
- Adaptive Maintenance: Modifying systems to fit changing needs.
- Perfective Maintenance: Enhancing performance and functionality.
Software Testing
- Unit Testing: Testing individual software modules.
- Integration Testing: Testing interactions between modules.
- System Testing: Testing the entire system.
- Acceptance Testing: Validating the system against user needs.
Project Management
- Project: Temporary endeavor to achieve a unique product, service, or result.
- Project Life Cycle: Stages of a project from initiation to closure.
- Project Management Knowledge Areas: Key areas of project management skillset.
- Project Initiation: Initial phase of a project focusing on identifying objectives, stakeholders, and scope.
- Project Planning and Execution: Defining the project's schedule, resources, strategies and actions.
- Project Monitoring and Control: Tracking progress, managing risks, and ensuring deliverables meet quality standards.
- Project Closure: Finalizing project activities, ensuring stakeholder satisfaction, and archiving project information.
