Discussion 1
“Disciplines” Please respond to the following:
• The software development process framework may be adapted to the specific needs of a project as illustrated in Figure 2.1b in Chapter 2 of the text. Categorize the development phases that exist within the system engineering and software development disciplines of the development process framework.
• Describe the similarities that exist among the phases of system engineering and software development. Explain how phases under each discipline complement one another to provide an efficient solution. Determine which discipline would be optimal for Web development, cloud computing, and security systems. Support your answer with a specific rationale or illustration.
Discussion 2
“Software Development Process Model” Please respond to the following:
• The needs for software development along with the organization’s business objectives influence the required software development process model for a project. Review the various traditional and iterative software development process models. Compare and contrast the planning and control mechanisms required by one traditional software development process model with one iterative development process model.
• Differentiate between traditional and iterative software process models with respect to project activities and customer interaction. Present example(s) to support your answer.
