Basics of Software Engineering Agile Methodology and DevOps Process

in this article, we learn about the Basics of Software Engineering and testing models

Traditional Approach to Software Development

Uses a linear approach

Where the stages of the software development process must be completed in a sequential order

The first stage must be completed before the next one begins

These stages usually comprise the following:

  • Requirements gathering and documentation
  • System design
  • Code and unit testing
  • System testing
  • User acceptance testing
  • Bug fixes
  • Product delivery

Types of Traditional Software Development Model

  • Waterfall model
  • Spiral model
  • V-Model

Waterfall Model

  • Known as the linear cycle
  • is a process that is built around planned work
  • mostly suited to projects with clearly defined requirements

clearly outlines a series of steps or phases

Spiral Model

  • Combining elements of design and prototyping-in-stages
  • Combines the features of the prototyping and the waterfall model
  • The spiral model is intended for large, expensive and complicated projects
  • Advantages of top-down and bottom-up concepts
  • Consists of four main phases;
  • Planning
  • Risk Analysis
  • Engineering
  • Evaluation

V-Model

  • The V-model is an extension of the waterfall model.
  • Show the relationships between development phases and test phases
  • Time and project completeness vs. level of abstraction
