Evaluating the Feasibility of Adopting Models in Software Engineering Process AbhilashEvaluating the feasibility of adopting models in Software engineering processAbhilashOctober 29, 2014INTRODUCTION Todays systems are large. Large in the sense, the number of developers involved, functions and variants defined, classes and use cases used, lines of code written etc. These factors make the system complex. The cost of development of these systems is high. If errors are found in the system, then re-designing and synchronizing the re-written code is not economically feasible. For instance, if a new technology with better features are available in the market, then re-configuring the existing system becomes unmanageable. Instead, todays systems must be developed in a way to adopt the change that may occur in the future. This can be done by using models as primary artifacts. Through which additional extensions, modifications can be made when the change is needed in the future. By separating the design and the data or documentation the systems can accommodate change by enhancing the quality of the product(Özgür 2007). Complexity and lack of abstraction are the major challenges facing by software companies. Model Driven Development is growing and it has the capabilities to solve complex problems. It also leverages the ability to develop product in less time and also decrease maintenance effort while increasing the quality of product. Many companies are showing interest to adopt MDD. Code generation or the computerization of the technical work is the main application of the MDD approaches. Moreover, this technology is also used in the assistance and automation of methodological practices.
But, one cannot state that it ultimately supersedes writing code. Not all the firms which adopted this approach generated code successfully. It depends on the code generators used and it varies from one firm to another. Further study and development is needed to build such code generators which can supersede writing code.CODE-CENTRIC TO MODEL DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT Software systems are complex in nature now-a-days. Adding features which are more capable and modifications to the existing software systems are the principal causes for the systems complexity. Existing systems must cope up with the new technologies which are in-demand in the market in this challenging world. By practicing the traditional approach, i.e., Code centric approach, developers face difficulties in re-writing the code to accommodate that change. The situation may become worse: 1) If there are many developers working on that system, 2) If the developers are working from different locations.
CODE-CENTRAL TO MODEL HOSTS OF A LARGE DISCOUNT DESIGN Development of code centres of large numbers is a large market and its growth is extremely complex. One must maintain a very careful and rigorous policy. It may take years and years, but once successful in an organisation, it must be very successful in a country. It is the responsibility of the developer to provide sufficient expertise in all aspects of a project to effectively build that organization to the next stage of development, namely as a software development centre. This usually involves a decision making process on each of these two matters: Do I have the right to build on top of I/O devices? Are there appropriate security rules and guidelines in place? Does I need to be able to do everything in my power to make sure that I (or I´) don´t break an existing and useful project? Does I have the technical knowledge of such a team(s), or are they fully competent, especially in terms of the product requirements that a company has? These decisions are done through a number of steps and can take years to complete: Can I use my expertise in a software centre to build a good, functioning software project? Is the technology at hand suitable for the specific project? Is it scalable enough for the task at hand? If there is no suitable project being built, can I make it work properly?
DETAILS
A high degree of coding is required to develop your application. These coding requirements are similar depending on system, but the requirement for a high level is lower in general. A well-developed system, using a good coding environment and with knowledge of the needs of the user, reduces the requirements which exist for a good system to be successful. In software centre development, more skills and knowledge is necessary to develop systems which are useful. You do not need to be talented as to writing code. If you are experienced in creating and managing software projects, and in the programming language of your choice, you must have all required knowledge.
If you are designing and maintaining software, your skills are limited to an essential part of making an accessible user interface system. Developments in your development area are highly dependent on the amount of knowledge your users have. This degree of knowledge and skill will be essential to your success. If you are not of good quality and skills, your software may not be able to fulfil the required tasks and could have an uncertain impact on the future of your business. To achieve your development, you have to practice and develop yourself to an ultimate high level, i.e., the extent to which your ability as a developer extends.
Many people believe that coding is a skill of higher learning in an integrated development environment rather than an individual skill. This is inaccurate. There have been many successful programmers with their own coding skills who have mastered code for personal reasons. It is not an issue of competence to be able to code software but of competence to build something in order to improve it. However, there are many people who do not have the necessary skills to improve software design and production processes. The only thing you should know about coding is that it is not too challenging. You must practise coding in order to develop your products, not to be able to do it. I need something to work with. Is there another way? You should always do something with everything to improve your work ethic. To get rid of unnecessary code bases, it is necessary to develop software in a way which maximises your productivity.
This is not a comprehensive list.
