Software Development Approaches
RAD stands for this
Rapid Application Development
The stages in the software development cycle are defining and understanding the problem, planning and designing, THIS, testing and evaluating and Maintaining
Implementing
In the early stages of the SDC, this is produced from a set of specifications to help give an overall picture of the processes required within the software
IPO
This data type allows for the use of alphanumeric data
String
This is the deepest part of the pacific ocean
Mariana Trench
This approach is best used when specifications are unknown and clients and users are readily accessible
Agile
Repeated development of a software project with minor changes and updates is know as this term, starting with I
Iteration
This can be generated early to identify the external entities and major data types for a software project
Context Diagram
This data structure allows for a series of data points to be indexed. It must contain the same data type in all indexes
Array
The supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic era
Pangaea
In this approach, working models of the proposed solution are produced and reviewed regularly
Prototyping
This approach lacks formal stages and relies on the use of library routines and existing code in order to speed up the development process
RAD
Integers can be represented in binary (base 2), decimal (base 10) and this
Hexadecimal (base 16)
Record
The oldest person to ever live died at this age
122 years
Apply this development approach if you have a large budget and a long time period for completion
The development team who follow the steps in order in this approach are analysts, designers, programmers and clients
Structured
This data type is most suitable for situations where you only have 2 possible outcomes (such as a radio button, or a school attendance register)
Boolean
This data type should be used for postcode data
String
Dolphins do this when they sleep
Keep one eye open
This approach involves the development of batch files, scripts and macros to increase efficiency
End-User
This approach sacrifices some functionality and efficiency in order to quickly produce a usable product within budget
RAD
Taking away or separating part of the solution so it may be considered in isolation.
Abstraction
This type of file has to be read from start to finish and contains delimiters and a sentinel value
Sequential File
Canada is known for consuming more of this than any other country
Macaroni and Cheese
