SAVING LIVES THROUGH SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT Centers for Disease Control (CDC) tracks a wealth of information Unfortunately, most of that information is stored in separate IT systems that do not communicate with each other
SAVING LIVES THROUGH SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT The CDC is using a service-oriented architecture (SoA) to integrate all those systems and information
INTRODUCTION Information systems are the support structure for meeting the company’s strategies and goals Why new systems are created:
INTRODUCTION • When developing a new system, you have 3 “who” choices… • Insourcing • Selfsourcing • Outsourcing
CHAPTER ORGANIZATION • Insourcing and the SDLC • Component-Based Development • Selfsourcing • Prototyping • Outsourcing
INSOURCING AND THE SDLC Systems development life cycle (SDLC) Also called a waterfall methodology
Phase 1: Planning Planning phase Three primary planning activities: Define the system to be developed
Phase 1: Planning Set the project scope Project scope Scope creep Feature creep Project scope document
Phase 1: Planning Develop the project plan including tasks, resources, and timeframes Project plan Project manager Project milestones
Phase 1: Planning Sample Project Plan
Phase 2: Analysis Analysis phase
Phase 2: Analysis Two primary analysis activities: Gather the business requirements Business requirements Joint application development (JAD)
Phase 2: Analysis Prioritize the requirements Requirements definition document
Phase 2: Analysis Take time during analysis to get the business requirements correct. If you find errors, fix them immediately. The cost to fix an error in the early stages of the SDLC is relatively small. In later stages, the cost is huge.
Phase 3: Design Design phase Two primary design activities: Design the technical architecture Technical architecture
Phase 3: Design Design system models Starting with design, you take on less of an active participation role and act more as a “quality control” function, ensuring that the IT people are designing a system to meet your needs
Phase 4: Development Development phase Two primary development activities:
Phase 5: Testing Testing phase Two primary testing activities: Write the test conditions
Phase 5: Testing Perform the testing of the system Unit testing System testing Integration testing User acceptance testing (UAT)
Phase 6: Implementation Implementation phase Two primary implementation activities Write detailed user documentation
Phase 6: Implementation Provide training for the system users Online training Workshop training
Phase 6: Implementation Choose the right implementation method Parallel implementation Plunge implementation Pilot implementation Phased implementation
Phase 7: Maintenance Maintenance phase Two primary maintenance activities: Build a help desk to support the system users Provide an environment to support system changes
COMPONENT-BASED DEVELOPMENT • The SDLC focuses only on the project at hand • Component-based development (CBD) • CBD focuses on
Component-Based Development Methodologies Rapid application development (RAD) Extreme programming (XP) Agile methodology
Rapid Application Development (RAD) Rapid application development (RAD) (also called rapid prototyping) – Prototypes are models of the software components The development team continually designs, develops, and tests the component prototypes until they are finished
Rapid Application Development (RAD) Use already-existing software components Build new software components
Extreme Programming (XP) Extreme programming (XP)
Agile Methodology Agile methodology
SoA – An Architecture Perspective • Service-oriented architecture (SoA) • All CBD methodologies adhere to an SoA • Services are the same as components, which are the same as small self-contained blocks of code • More in Chapter 7
SELFSOURCING Selfsourcing (end-user development)
The Right Tool for the Job End users must have development tools that:
PROTOTYPING Prototype Prototyping Proof-of-concept prototype Selling prototype
The Prototyping Process The prototyping process involves four steps:
OUTSOURCING Outsourcing
OUTSOURCING The main reasons behind the rapid growth of the outsourcing industry include the following:
Outsourcing Options IT outsourcing for software development can take one of four forms:
