The Mobile Development Cycle Flashcards
Who said this: “You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you might not get there.”
Yogi Berra
A well-defined lifecycle provides a good framework for:
- Development
- Risk Management
- Resource Management

Development
- Prioritization
- delays and contigencies

Did someone forget to lock the door?
Compliance and Security
An example of a lifecycle (Waterfall)
According to the slides
Requirements -> Design -> Development -> Testing -> Deployment -> Maintenance
What is spiral model
According to the slides
Evaluate -> Engineering -> Risk Analysis -> Plan (Loop Spiral)
