Quiz on Software Engineering Design Methods, Software Design Processes, & Software Design Management.
During software design, engineers produce models that create a blueprint of the solution to be implemented. These models are then analyzed and evaluated. The four primary models of software development methods are: Linear Sequential (Waterfall), Incremental Development (ID), Reuse-Oriented (Rapid Application Development; RAD), and Rational Unified Process (RUP). The software design process, also known as the software development life cycle (SDLC), can be divided into five basic stages: research, ideation, design, development, and iteration. The software design process can also be divided into three levels, or phases of design: Interface design, Architectural design, and Detailed design.
Some basics of software design management are: Agile methodology: A working model that encourages developers to communicate and practice iterations to improve the product Software engineering: The process of designing, creating, testing, and maintaining software, including project management, quality assurance, and configuration management Methodologies: An outgrowth of software engineering principles that can provide critical design management System analysis: An important part of the software development life cycle that focuses on gathering requirements Coding: A crucial part of the software development lifecycle, where developers divide coding work into modules to simplify and speed up the process Modularity: A key principle of software design and architecture that states software should be organized into modules that are tightly linked internally but also independent from other modules as possible
