Software Design and Development: The process

Which of the following is the correct order of the software design and development process?

• Design - Implementation - Testing - Evaluation - Analysis

• Analysis - Design - Implementation - Testing - Evaluation

• Implementation - Evaluation - Analysis - Testing - Design

• Analysis - Implementation - Design - Testing - Evaluation

What happens at the analysis stage?

• The programmer plans on paper the user interface and algorithm required.

• The software is checked over and a report is written about its fitness for purpose.

• The client and the analyst meet to discuss the software requirements.

• The design is converted into programming language to actually create the software.

During the analysis stage, the analyst breaks the idea or problem down into

• Input, Process and Output

• Programming and Output

• Function, Process and Evaluation

• Coding, Variables and Commentary

What happens at the design stage?

• The program is tested to check that the actual output matches the expected output.

• The programmer plans on paper the user interface and algorithm required.

• The design is converted into programming language to actually create the software.

• The client and the analyst meet to discuss the software requirements.

What happens at the implementation stage?

• The software is checked over and a report is written about its fitness for purpose.

• The programmer plans on paper the user interface and algorithm required.

• The program is tested to check that the actual output matches the expected output.

• The design is converted into programming language to actually create the software

What happens at the testing stage?

• The software is checked over and a report is written about its fitness for purpose.

• The design is converted into programming language to actually create the software.

• The program is tested to check that the actual output matches the expected output.

• The client and the analyst meet to discuss the software requirements.

What happens at the evaluation stage?

• The software is checked over and a report is written about its fitness for purpose.

• The program is tested to check that the actual output matches the expected output.

• The design is converted into programming language to actually create the software.

• The client and the analyst meet to discuss the software requirements.

During the evaluation stage, a report is written about the software's fitness for purpose. What is meant by this?

• The program does not do what is required by the system specification.

• The program does what is required by the software specification.

• The program works but not effectively.

• The program was easy to create.

The software development process is an iterative process. What is an iterative process?

• A process that follows a sequence.

• A process in which earlier stages can be revisited in the building, refining and improving of the project.

• A device which takes information in one form and transforms it into another form by an algorithmic process.

• A process that has no sequence to follow.
