Software Development Life Cycle

By
Software Crisis

In earlier days, same codes needed to be written time and again increasing the complexity and time required for development
This resulted in software not being completed on time and the cost increased than expected
Solution: Object Oriented Programming

Software Evolution


  1. Investigation
  2. Feasibility Study
  3. Analysis
  4. Design
  5. Implementation
  6. Maintenance



  1. Investigation


First step in preparation of the IS
includes the preliminary study of proposed information system
investigates the information needs of the users and determines the resource requirement, costs, benefits and feasibility of a proposed project

  1. 2. Feasibility Study


feasibility study is an analysis of the practicality of an idea
focuses on helping answer the essential question of “should we proceed with the proposed project idea?”
The feasibility study is conducted in four
different areas:
1. Organizational feasibility
2. Economic feasibility
3. Technical feasibility
4. Operational feasibility

3. Feasibility Study


4. Analysis

In-depth study and results in the functional requirement that provide the basis for  system design
The process of system analysis starts with analyzing the organization’s present system if any, and functional requirement analysis
Analysis of each component of system like hardware, software, people resource, networking and data resources is required

Functional requirements are end user information requirements that comprise of:

  • User Interface Requirement
  • Processing Requirement
  • Storage Requirement
  • Control Requirement


5. Design

gives answer to the question “How” the system will accomplish the objective
consists of design activities that produce system specifications, satisfying the functional requirements developed at the analysis stage
System design consists of two steps:
Conceptual Design
Detailed Design


6. Implementation

Putting the developed system into work
Consists of the following:
1. Acquisition of hardware and software resources required by the proposed system.
2. Develop the computer program or perform any modification in the existing programs or the software package purchased.
3. Train the end user
4. Test the system and remove errors if any. This process is continued till system is free from errors
5. Conversion process i.e. to introduce a new system.

Types of implementation:

  1. Direct/Plunge
  2. Phase wise
  3. pilot
  4. Parallel


7. Maintenance

After implementation, the system is evaluated for its performance
If the system doesn't fulfill the objective of the organization, then the system ought to be maintained or updated
last or concluding stage of Information System development process

Maintenance might be done for the following reasons:
1. To change the policy statement
2. To change forms
3. To change operating system
4. To change procedures, etc.

Passing arrays to functions in C programming

By
Like any other variables, we can also pass entire array to a function. An array name can be named as an argument for the prototype declaration and in function header. When we call the function no need to subscript or square brackets. When we pass array that pass as a call by reference because the array name is address for that array. /* Program to illustrate passing array to function */ #include<stdio.h> void display(int) ; /* function prototype */ main( ) { int num[5] = {100, 20, 40, 15, 33, i ; clrscr( ) ; printf (“\n The content of array is \n”) ; for (i=0; i<5; i++) display (num[i]) ; /*Pass array element fo fun */ getch{ } ; } void display(int n) { printf (“\t%d”, n ) ; } Output:     The content of array is 100      20       40       15 3 /* Program to read 10 numbers from keyboard to store these num into array and then c...

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

By
PGA reffered as pin grid array in which pins of CPU are lined up in a straight format. SPGA referred as staggered pin grid array. in which pins of CPU are arranged staggered format. LGA reffered to as Land Grid Array in which pins are available within inside the socket but not in the CPU in other words in line grid array, in CPU ther are no pinsbut insteadpins areattached with in a socket which contact with with the CPU. for e.g. LGA775 socket(no pins on cpu) has better cooling system. better contact and better locking(climbing). LGA1155: Letest generation I socket, also reffered as sandy bridge, Turbo boost overclocking. More resent than LGA 1156 socket. LGA1156: ability to north bridge Doul channel DDR3 optional integreted graphics PCI express LGA1366: hi end core i series socket integreted tiple channal memmory controller external control bridge(HUB) Upgrading CPU: need to check its core suppert check multiprocessor supports or not check on the ...

Recursive Function in C programming

By
             If a statement within the body of a function calls the same function, the function is called recursive function. Actually, recursion is a process by which a function calls itself repeatedly until some specified condition has been satisfied. This process is used for repetitive computations in which each action is stated in term of previous result. Many iterative or repetitive problems can be written in this form.                To solve a problem using recursive method, two conditions must be satisfied. They are: 1)       Problem could be written or defined in term of its previous result. 2)       Problem statement must include a stopping condition. /*   An example of recursive function to calculate factorial of a number.*/    #include<stdio.h>    #include<conio.h...
