Q

The Waterfall Model…

A

Was developed as a simple and disciplined method for systems development.

Stresses sequential flow of software development activities

Makes estimating easier because of detailed planning

Q

Iterative Development…

A

Focusses on shortening the SDLC

Embraces the idea that requirements are difficult to define & they change overtime.

Emphasizes using working software to measure progress.

Relies heavily upon face-to-face communication.

16
Q

A prototype may be developed to

A

discover or refine system requirement specifications.

17
Q

Iterative Development Approach:

A

Prototyping
Spiral Development
Agile Systems Development

18
Q

Prototyping:

A

The user and developer work together to develop a partially or fully functional system as soon as possible

19
Q

Spiral Development:

A

Breaks up a software project into a number of mini projects that address one or more major risks.

Identifies risks as each iteration is completed.

20
Q

Agile Systems Development:

A

Releases are developed through several iterations. Each working release is transferred to users.

21
Q

Examples of Agile Systems Development:

A

SCRUM
Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM)
Adaptive Software Development (ASD)
eXtremeProgramming (XP)

22
Q

What does DSDM stand for?

A

Dynamic Systems Development Method

23
Q

What does ASD stand for?

A

Adaptive Software Development

24
Q

What does XP stand for?

A

eXtremeProgramming

25
Q

Iterative Development pros:

A

Fast ramp-up

Immediate results

26
Q

Iterative Development cons:

A

Relies on client expertise/involvement

Project delays are highly disruptiv

27
Q

In Waterfall, one phase is

A

completed before the next starts; linear; very difficult to move backward

28
Q

In iterative approaches, the

A

SDLC is repeated in several iterations, producing working code

29
Q

‘Agile’ is

A

an umbrella term for many iterative approaches to software development
