Software Development The Early Years

• Early days of development focused on
  hardware-oriented management Cost
• Thorough analysis and design preceded any build
• Software typically was an afterthought
• Procedures developed to manage change
• www.HITIS.org Hospitality IT Standards
• Programmers learned by Trial Error
• The software world was undisciplined and
  surrounded by mystique

18
Two Decades Later Clients Are Asking?

• Why does it take so long to finish software
  programs?
• Why are costs so high?
• Why cant we find errors before the product is
  given to the customer?
• Why do we have difficulty measuring progress as
  software is being developed?

19
Software Engineering

• Modeling business system requirements and then
  directly implementing those models into units of
  working code
• Object-oriented design develops reusable blocks
  of code through
• Analysis
• Design
• Coding
• Implementation

20
Development Model Types

• Waterfall Cascade
• RAD (Rapid Application Development)
• Iterative

21
The Iterative Process

• A practical approach for providing modeling
  procedures and contract deliverables.
• Utilizes a discovery process for understanding
  requirements, services, devices and system
  software.
• Easily maps back and forth from analysis to
  design.
• Previous work is always added to or refined as
  the results of that work being used in the next
  stage of development.

22
Iterative Life Cycle
23
Project Management

• Good project management requires focused
  deliverables and a recommended sequence of
  activities.

24
Completing the Cycle

• Business Case Modeling
• Writing a Tight Specification Document
• Scope Creep
• Change Order
• Maintenance
• Training

25
