Abstract Every software development company makes software development based on a specific approach. There are a number of approaches to software development, both disciplined and agile. Each approach includes a set of different activities. Sometimes, the specific nature of a company’s work requires a specific approach, but the need to make work more efficient, faster and better requires implementing activities of other approaches. Then hybrid software development approaches come in. The paper presents an expert survey to examine the most important software development activities, the combinations of development approaches that are used in software development processes and the way of upgrading existing approaches. The evaluated activities of software development process are classified according to their nature – whether they correspond with a team, organisation, documentation, development, and testing. The conclusions are also made on the practices that are required most – disciplined, Agile or hybrid.

The article presents a comparison in terms of hardware requirements of applications that supports the agile software development processes. For research purposes, popular mobile and internet applications supporting agile software development were chosen. In order to determine the significance of individual technical requirements for end-users, a series of research experiments, based on scenarios of typical and boundary use was conducted. In addition to research, the application supporting agile software development process was implemented. The results of research were recorded by specialized monitoring and profiling tools. The results of performed work are presented in tabular form.

The Cost

Object oriented technology is still growing and has not yet matured. Many articles have been written on object oriented software development processes, particularly in the area of testing. Most of the publications seem to agree with the fact that object oriented testing is a challenging aspect of the software development process. The main reason for this view seems to revolve around the fact that the objects and the code are inseparable and also, the idea of inheritance. Despite these views, the publications all seem to agree on one aspect, that object oriented when successfully tested leaves a better-maintained product compared to the traditional non-object oriented software. Object oriented software makes better maintainable software; it also has an added advantage over traditional software development because in the final analysis, it will cost less by shortening the development time as well as cutting down the cost of maintenance.

New Framework

While small computer systems have provided us with a wide array of development and operational environments, implementation methods, and domains of the software to be developed, it has also made the software development more risky. This paper proposes a new framework for improving the software development process on small computer systems to reduce software development risks. The key idea of the proposed framework is that the solutions to the software development problems can be extracted by the project manager, with relatively low overload, from the development processes that were actually executed in order to reduce the development risks, and then be formalized and stored in a database. The formalized solutions can be used not only for process improvement, but also for devising new solutions if new problems should occur in the future. We believe that the proposed framework is capable of making up for the difficulties in implementing CMM on small computer systems, and it encourages us to apply CMM to such risky software development.

The Impact

<p>In software development process, user can take part in any phase of the process, depending on what model is being applied. Lack of user involvement can result in a poorly designed solution, or even a solution that conflicts with user’s needs. This review paper presents the impact of user involvement in software development process. In this study, different software development processes will be reviewed, show where the user usually gets involved in different models such as: Structural (Waterfall, V-model) and incremental (Scrum-extreme programming XP). As each model differs from the other, each of them has a different perspective of where user should take part and where they should not. This can be an asset that helps project managers, and leaders to develop suitable strategies to follow in their projects.</p>

The Impact

The success of a software application is related to users’ willingness to keep using it. In this sense, evaluating User eXperience (UX) became an important part of the software development process. Researchers have been carrying out studies by employing various methods to evaluate the UX of software products. Some studies reported varied and even contradictory results when applying different UX evaluation methods, making it difficult for practitioners to identify which results to rely upon. However, these works did not evaluate the developers’ perspectives and their impacts on the decision process. Moreover, such studies focused on one-shot evaluations, which cannot assess whether the methods provide the same big picture of the experience (i.e., deteriorating, improving, or stable). This paper presents a longitudinal study in which 68 students evaluated the UX of an online judge system by employing AttrakDiff, UEQ, and Sentence Completion methods at three moments along a semester. This study reveals contrasting results between the methods, which affected developers’ decisions and interpretations. With this work, we intend to draw the HCI community’s attention to the contrast between different UX evaluation methods and the impact of their outcomes in the software development process.
