Re: The software development process.

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



There are many processes for software development, some more suited to
particular types of software that others. For instance, RUP (Rational
Unified Process) is good for application programming but if I were writing
software for say a heart bypass machine, then phased releases and "real
world" testing is really not going to work!

The only thing I will suggest is that even before deciding on a process, you
have to decide how important each of the following aspects of your project
are...

1. Quality
2. Cost
3. Timescale

If you are going for high Quality, then your Timescales (and therefore Cost)
will be hit, if your going for cheapest Cost then Quality will be hit, if
you are going for shortest Timescale then Quality will also be hit etc...

I've yet to see a project that demands the highest quality, no limit to the
cost and you can take as long as you like!

Get the management to prioritize these, and make sure they understand the
consequences of their decision.

Hi All,

Could you please advice how you provide the software development
process ?

I need some example to reference.

In my understanding is:

1. Specification list and discussion.
2. Solution and schedule proposed.
2.1 Critical task analysis
2.2 Other task list.
2.3 Schedule estimation.
3. Development and Test.
3.1 Finish critical task.
3.2 Development and test function block as unit.

4. System level / prodcut test

5. Mass production.

Best regards,
Boki.
