Software Process Models

The document discusses various software process models that would be suitable for different project scenarios. For developing the next generation of a company's widely used word processing software with tight deadlines, the rapid application development model would be chosen. This model emphasizes an extremely short development cycle using a component-based approach with the ability for multiple teams to work in parallel. For a small university course grading analysis application with well understood requirements and calculations, the waterfall model would be suitable due to its sequential step-by-step process. To build a larger, more complex application similar to ones the team has built before for an information systems organization, with thoroughly documented requirements, the incremental development model would be chosen as it is a combination of sequential and iterative processes allowing

 You have been appointed a project manager for a major software products company.

Your job is to manage the development of the next generation version of its widely used word-
processing software. Because competition is intense, tight deadlines have been established and
announced.
What software process model(s) would you choose and why?

 Rapid application development model is use for this project.

 Rapid Application Development is a linear sequential software development process model


that emphasises an extremely short development cycle. A component-based construction
approach is used. 
 To use this approach, the project scope must be constrained, and the requirements should be
well understood.
 There can be several teams working on different components during the smaller time
deadline
 You have been asked to develop a small application that analyzes each course offered by a
university and reports the average grade obtained in the course (for a given term). What
software model(s) would you choose and why?
Assumptions
 Requirements and method of calculation are well understood

 For this application we select waterfall model.


 The Waterfall Model is the oldest and most well-known SDLC model. The distinctive feature of
the Waterfall model is its sequential step-by-step process from requirements analysis to
maintenance
 You have been appointed a project manager within an information systems organization.
 Your job is to build an application that is quite similar to others your team has built,
although this oneis larger and more complex.
 Requirements have been thoroughly documented by the customer. What software
process model(s) would you choose and why? Explain in detail

Assumptions
 The information system is already existed in which some increments (applications)
are completed and released.
 Now Developer just builds application for information system and integrate
thisapplication with other application.

 For this application we follow Incremental development model.


 Incremental development model is combination of sequential and Iterative model.
 Incremental development model made products in series of increment throughout project
timescale
 If you have to develop a word processing software product, what process model will you
choose?

 To develop a word-processing software incremental model can be used


 because of its feedback process and other advantages.
• The incremental model combines the elements of waterfall model, and they are
applied in an iterative fashion.
• Each increment builds the product and submits it to the customer for suggesting any
modifications.
• Based on customer's suggestions it adds additional requirements in the previous
increment.
 Using this model, the software will be generated quickly during the software life cycle.
Moreover, Incremental Model is flexible and less expensive to change requirements and
scope.
