Software Development Practices

Software development encompasses a set of


methodologies, processes, and practices aimed at
designing, building, testing, and maintaining software
applications. Various software development
methodologies exist, each with its own approach to
managing the software development lifecycle. In this
section, we'll explore some of the most common
software development practices, accompanied by
illustrative images to enhance comprehension.

1. Waterfall Model

The Waterfall model is a traditional sequential software


development approach where progress flows steadily
downwards through distinct phases, including
requirements gathering, design, implementation, testing,
deployment, and maintenance. Each phase must be
completed before proceeding to the next, making it a
rigid but predictable methodology.

depicting each phase as a sequential step flowing
downwards, with arrows indicating progression from
one phase to the next.

2. Agile Methodology

Agile is an iterative and incremental software


development methodology that emphasizes flexibility,
collaboration, and customer feedback. It breaks the
development process into small, manageable iterations
or sprints, allowing for continuous refinement and
adaptation to changing requirements.

methodology, with icons representing key principles
such as iterative development, customer collaboration,
adaptive planning, and continuous improvement.

3. DevOps Practices

DevOps is a set of practices that combines software


development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) to
streamline the software delivery process and improve
collaboration between development and operations
teams. DevOps practices include continuous
integration, continuous delivery, infrastructure as code,
and automated testing.

showcasing concepts such as continuous
integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines,
automated testing, version control, and infrastructure
automation.

4. Scrum Framework

Scrum is an Agile framework for managing software


development projects, with an emphasis on delivering
value iteratively and adapting to changing requirements.
It involves cross-functional teams working in short,
time-boxed iterations called sprints, with regular
meetings, such as daily stand-ups, sprint planning,
sprint review, and sprint retrospective.

featuring key elements such as product backlog, sprint
backlog, sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint review,
and sprint retrospective.
5. Kanban Method

Kanban is a visual management method that aims to


optimize the flow of work and limit work in progress
(WIP) by visualizing the workflow, setting work-in-
progress limits, and continuously improving
throughput. It provides real-time visibility into the
status of tasks and helps teams identify bottlenecks and
optimize their processes.
