rapid changing environment‚ software systems must be delivered quickly in order to meet business delivery schedules. Spending months and years developing systems to high standards is fruitless if over time requirements change beyond recognition. Software development must serve its customers. Simple value-for-money systems that work are better than expensive and complex ones delivered late‚ over-budgeted and difficult to maintain. Abstract. Rapid Application Development (RAD) has long been promised

Development and domination. Escobar’s one sided discourse. Book Review: Escobar‚ Arturo (1995) Encountering Development: The Making and Unmaking of the Third World. New Jersey: Princeton University Press Encountering Development: The Making and Unmaking of the Third World (1995)‚ written by Arturo Escobar‚ has been a controversial book in development debates. The book establishes a critical reading of multiple ideas and practices that have evolved‚ since World War II‚ to form what Escobar

Systems Development Life Cycle Model The Systems Development Life Cycle model was developed as a structured approach to information system development that guides all the processes involved from an initial feasibility study through to maintenance of the finished application. SDLC models take a variety of approaches to development. Some of these life cycle models include: The Waterfall Model: A classic SDLC model‚ with a linear and sequential method that has goals for each development phase. The

4 Metrics for Software Quality Software quality metrics are a subset of software metrics that focus on the quality aspects of the product‚ process‚ and project. In general‚ software quality metrics are more closely associated with process and product metrics than with project metrics. Nonetheless‚ the project parameters such as the number of developers and their skill levels‚ the schedule‚ the size‚ and the organization structure certainly affect the quality of the product. Software quality metrics

Abstract This article presents a model for describing the architecture of software-intensive systems‚ based on the use of multiple‚ concurrent views. This use of multiple views allows to address separately the concerns of the various ‘stakeholders’ of the architecture: end-user‚ developers‚ systems engineers‚ project

System Development Life Cycle Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) or sometimes just (SLC) is defined by the as a software development process‚ although it is also a distinct process independent of software or other information technology considerations. It is used by a systems analyst to develop an information system‚ including requirements‚ validation‚ training‚ and user ownership through investigation‚ analysis‚ design‚ implementation‚ and maintenance. SDLC is also known as information systems

Chapter 1 Software plays an essential role in utilizing a computer or a computerized device. It delivers different tasks as well as allows you to use‚ share and maintain the resources. As a product‚ it delivers the computing potential embodied by computer hardware. Software is an information transformer like producing‚ managing‚ modifying‚ acquiring‚ or transmitting information when it resides within a cellular phone or operates inside a computer like mainframe computer. Software acts as a basis
