 Activity X
You are working on the new organizational structure
for your software company. Which organizational
structure would you choose and why?

Activity Time: 15 mins

Lets Deep dive in Software Processes and Agile Practices
 Software Life Cycle Process
A software life cycle process refers to a process that
covers the entire spectrum of software development, from
the product’s initial conception to its eventual retirement.
 Processes and Phases
• A process is divided into multiple phases.
• A phase is made up of activities.
• An activity is made up of tasks.

Example of Phases, Activities and Tasks of a Process to

create a Software Product
Specification Writing Test Framework Code
Design and Implementation Executing Tests Designing Tests
Verification and Validation Writing Tests
Running Tests

Phases Activities Tasks

 Activity XI
Identify Activities of a Process to create a Software
Product for the Phase: Design and Implementation

Activity Time: 10 mins

 Activity XI
Identify Activities of a Process to create a Software
Product for the Phase: Design and Implementation

• Designing the Architecture

• Designing the database
• Designing interfaces
• Creating executable code
• Integrating functionality
• Documenting

Activity Time: 10 mins

 Process Models
Adopting and adapting a suitable process will be key in
structuring the work for a successful project.

Designing a process can start from scratch or may be

based on one of the many process models that have
already been used successfully.
 Process Models
Linear Process Models: Phases that happen sequentially,
one after another.

Iterative Process Models: Phases that are repeated in

Cycles.
Waterfall Model
 Activity XII
Identify the benefits and drawbacks of the Waterfall
Model.
Benefits Drawbacks

Activity Time: 10 mins

 Waterfall Model
Benefits
Easy to understand
Clearly defines deliverables and
Milestones
Emphasizes the importance of
analysis before design, and
design before implementation
Adopted for well-specified parts
that can be outsourced
Drawbacks
Not very adaptable to changes
Focuses on knowing all the
requirements up front
Client does not see the
product until close to the end
of development
Testing occurs late in the
process
