4. Software Program Needs to Track: Chemical/fertilization schedule Water levels/soil moisture content PH levels Equipment maintenance Budgeting and finances Input/output Questions From Pooginook Is it possible to create a customized program? How does one find a reliable source to develop the software? What will be the cost? Will software training be needed? Pros and cons of a customized product vs. standardized product? Is there currently a program on the market that will meet the needs?

10. Testing is inherent of every phase for this method Oldest used paradigm The waterfall method is an enforced discipline approach Incorporates iteration directly It is document driven Customer only sees the working version BENEFITSDRAWBACKS

11. “Lightweight” method Family of development processes

12. Each iteration passes through the full development cycle Lack of documents leads to scrutinizing Emphasizes face-to-face communication Completing in a specific time frame, or budget, is difficult Short time to develop software, incremental BENEFITSDRAWBACKS

13. Kent Beck, 1996 Plan the project work based on 3 techniques User stories Time frame Prioritization Build the product based on user stories and show the evolving product to the customer as soon as possible What the customer needs today Codes are written in pairs Shared ownership of the code

14. Stresses customer satisfaction Team work is emphasized Improves software project in 4 ways: Communication Simplicity Feedback Courage

15. “Incremental” method Use of iterations For each iteration, design modifications are made and new functions are added “Daily builds” When to use Most of the requirements are known early, but still expected to evolve Get basic functionality to the market early New technology

16. Develop the major functions first Requires early definition of a complete and fully functional system to allow definition of increments Customers can respond to each build Requires good planning and design Can re-architect within limits to accommodate new functionality May build too many features to use StrengthsWeaknesses

17. Pros Fast development Involves iterative development Emphasis on creating prototypes Facilitates maintenance Compromises functionality Compromises performance Cons
