- What is a software development methodology
- Types of methodologies
- Benefits and drawbacks of methodologies
- Importance of using a methodology.
Today the lecture was about software development methodologies and i was looking forward to see how the lecture is gonna be carried out because it was done by another lecturer.
Software development methodologies are important when it comes to creation of software. No matter what the methodology you choose it is important to follow the steps in each methodology in order to achieve the desired outcome. However the developer should choose the appropriate methodology according to the requirement.
Although these methodologies have been learnt in brief in
previous modules until The lecturer explained each an every methodology in
detail I didn’t have a clear picture of the benefits and drawbacks of each
methodology.
Reflection of the lecture
The lecturer explained that software development methodologies are
developed in order to cater to more projects and it doesn’t mention only about
a system but also it talks about the process as well. For example if you need
to prepare a cake you need to follow a process and you cannot avoid steps in
the process. If you do avoid the steps then the cake will not be a success.
However in methodologies there are certain steps that can be done
simultaneously and there are certain steps that should be done in a sequential
manner.above shows about the
SDLC which has been evolved around the methodology. I also learnt about the
things to consider when selecting a methodology such as scope, Deliverables,
Constraints, User involvement and the nature of the project. Overall It was a
very successful lecture which contributes majorly towards our final year
project.
