This is done by working in versions, where new functionalities are added in each new version. ]]> 2022-01-31 15:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/raegan223/ukp0u11nrda4/wish/2021504492 RAD (Rapid Application Development) https://padlet.com/raegan223/ukp0u11nrda4/wish/2021506536 RAD is model is based on prototyping without any specific planning.  It focuses on gathering customer requirements through customer feedback, early testing of the prototypes by the customer using iterative concept, reuse of the existing prototypes, continuous integration and rapid deliver.

- faster and smaller(phases like outlining the requirements, planning, design, building, testing, and delivery)

- communication (communication ensure the process stays on track even as conditions change, non-formal)

- feedback (stating a problem and finding out the properly solutions)

- trust (each member must understand their goals and create their own path to reach success) 

- adjust/ keeping simple ( tuning and adjusting the process continually)]]> 2022-01-31 15:29:57 UTC https://padlet.com/raegan223/ukp0u11nrda4/wish/2021522085 When to use RAD https://padlet.com/raegan223/ukp0u11nrda4/wish/2021524877
  • to produce a product in a short span of time (2-3 months)
  • When the requirements are clear
  • When the user will be involved all through the life cycle
  • When technical risk is less
  • When the product requires flexibility and adaptability

Total cost is higher than than the waterfall model. Not suitable for small projects.]]> 2022-01-31 15:31:53 UTC https://padlet.com/raegan223/ukp0u11nrda4/wish/2021527179 Iterative https://padlet.com/raegan223/ukp0u11nrda4/wish/2021533611 -The iterative process model is a cyclical process in which you make and test incremental adjustments. Teams gradually build up the features and functions but don’t wait until each of these is complete before releasing.
    -Iterative development relies on a series of repetitive or cyclical loops in which you revise and improve a product based on feedback from users and stakeholders.

    This model is most often used in the following scenarios:

    • Requirements of the complete system are clearly defined and understood.

    • Major requirements must be defined; however, some functionalities or requested enhancements may evolve with time.

    • There is a time to the market constraint.

    • A new technology is being used and is being learnt by the development team while working on the project.

    • There are some high-risk features and goals which may change in the future.

    Advantages:
    • Some working functionality can be developed quickly and early in the life cycle.
    • Results are obtained early and periodically.
    • Progress can be measured.
    • Less costly to change the scope/requirements.
    • Testing and debugging during smaller iteration is easy

    Disadvantages:
    • More resources may be required.
    • More management attention is required.
    • Not suitable for smaller projects.
    • End of project may not be known which is a risk.

      Wikipedia relies on user-generated content that allows reviewers to add relevant information or delete content that is outdated or no longer useful. A wiki is never finished. In the iterative process model, the site continually evolves with new information.

    The traditional SDLC follows a rigid process models with high emphasis on requirement analysis and gathering before the coding starts. It puts pressure on the customer to sign off the requirements before the project starts and the customer doesn’t get the feel of the product as there is no working build available for a long time.


    The customer may need some changes after he gets to see the software. However, the change process is quite rigid and it may not be feasible to incorporate major changes in the product in the traditional SDLC.


    The RAD model focuses on iterative and incremental delivery of working models to the customer. This results in rapid delivery to the customer and customer involvement during the complete development cycle of product reducing the risk of non-conformance with the actual user requirements.

    - Limited documentation 
    (it becomes less detailed and often falls to the back burner, end user's fault with not providing detailed information for the expected product)

    - Difficult measurement 
    (The time is flexible. The product can be launched either before the deadline or after)

    - Poor resource planning
    (it's challenging to predict efforts like cost, time and resources required at the beginning of a project)

    - Fragmented output
    (The output/ result product can become very fragmented rather than one entire unit)

  • Flexible and adaptable to changes
  • reduction of manual coding
  • useful when you have to reduce the overall project risk

  • It can’t be used for smaller projects
  • When technical risk is high, it is not suitable
  • Progress and problems accustomed are hard to track as such there is no documentation to demonstrate what has been done
  • Reduced features due to time boxing, where features are pushed to a later version to finish a release in short period

That includes IT, banking (AIB bank online account security), entertainment etc. https://padlet.com/raegan223/ukp0u11nrda4/wish/2021558562 2022-01-31 15:44:21 UTC https://padlet.com/raegan223/ukp0u11nrda4/wish/2021558562 Waterfall Model https://padlet.com/raegan223/ukp0u11nrda4/wish/2021560579 The OG of Software Development Life Cycles - created in 1970.
    Also known as the Linear Sequential Model.
    As the name suggests, this model follows a linear sequence; 1,2,3,4... etc.
    Each part of the sequence is completed and reviewed before the next section of sequence is initiated.

    Stages:
    Analysis - Requirements for the product to be set out and developed. The Requirement Specification Document (RSD) is written up.
    Design - Using the RSD, the system requirements are assessed and hardware is specified for use. This stage helps inform the overall system architecture.
    Implementation - Using the system design, each element of the product (Unit) is developed and tested independently for functionality. 
    Integration/Testing - Each unit that has been developed in the previous stage are integrated into the system. Once all the pieces assembled, then a full test of the system can be performed. 
    Maintenance - Following successful final testing, the product is now up and running and will need to be maintained. This includes troubleshooting any issues that arise, providing fixes and upgrades where and when required.

    Advantages:
    - Logical
    -  Straightforward approach, which is beneficial to new team members
    - There is something to show the client after each phase is completed. 
    Disadvantages:
    - (Slow) relies upon the completion of a previous stage before the next can begin
    - Not suitable for larger complex projects.

    Real World Example:
    Toyota currently use this model for production development. ]]>     2022-01-31 15:45:02 UTC https://padlet.com/raegan223/ukp0u11nrda4/wish/2021560579     https://padlet.com/raegan223/ukp0u11nrda4/wish/2021567581 2022-01-31 15:47:46 UTC https://padlet.com/raegan223/ukp0u11nrda4/wish/2021567581
