Week 4 Individual Assignment
Riordan Manufacturing HR System Update The implementation phase of the Riordan system update will be more expensive and time-consuming because of having so many employees involved in the project and there is still a lot of work to be done. Developers create the documentation and tools the customer uses to make informed decisions about how to deploy the software securely (Microsoft 2012). The code for the design specifications is involved in the implementation phase before any testing can take place. Before the system can be setup, all of the errors accrued during testing will be examined and tested. Because the system involves employee information and data concerning the company, the Human Resources department will be asked to work alongside the IT department. Executives in Human Resources will approve the final changes, but only after the employees of the department have tested and provided input throughout the system development life cycle. The system will go through seven steps before the design specifications will be turned into a functioning system. The steps include:
Coding
The coding for the new software will largely depend on the difficulty of the software and the experience of the programmer. A suggested method for producing the code is the iterative method. Employees will be separated into specialized groups to handle individual sections of the software and each section will be handled one by one. The process can’t proceed on to the next section until the previous section has been completed, tested, and approved.
Testing
No new hardware or software product can be released until it is tested repeatedly to document and correct any bugging errors. The purpose of testing is to determine whether the new program can exist as it is or if it will undergo corrections before being released. Scenarios involved with testing include running a hybrid version of the software with the test users, producing errors on purpose to determine how the
