DEVELOPMENT

What Is Development?

• Development is a step in the problem solving methodology.

• It is the phase were an actual copy of the design phase is physically created.

• It follows the design phase and precedes the testing phase.

• Development is what is entailed after the design in most cases is complete.

• Development complements whatever was in the design.

• What ever the design depicted the development is the production of said design.

Development Steps

1. Analyse Design2. Plan3. Construction4. Improvements5. Test

Development Techniques• Development techniques have many different methods. The most

simple of renditions of this is called the “waterfall” methodology, which includes pieces of development done in incremental stages, which sometimes overlap

• Another method is creating prototypes, which is where incomplete versions of the software are created to test certain features

• The spiral model is where the software development process combines elements of both design and prototyping stages, to maximise the top-down and bottom-up concepts

• RAD (Rapid Application Development) is a software development methodology which is designed to create applications fast and breaks the software to small segments
