Objectives of Chapter 17
Explain the foundations for the adaptive development methodologies List and describe the features of the Unified Process system development methodology List and describe the features of Agile Modelling Compare and contrast the features of Extreme Programming and Scrum development Explain the importance of Model-Driven Architecture on enterprise-level development Describe frameworks and components, the process by which they are developed, and their impact on system development Key Words & Definitions ubiquitous computing – the current trend of using computer technology in every aspect of our lives metamodel – a model that describes the characteristics of another model discipline – a set of functionality related activities that together contribute to the development process of a UP project chaordic – a term used to describe adaptive projects, which are both chaotic and ordered pair programming – XP practice in which two programmers work together on designing, coding, and testing refactoring – revising, reorganizing, and rebuilding part of a system so that it is of higher quality product backlog – a prioritized list of user requirements used to choose work to be done during a Scrum project product owner – the client stakeholder for whom a system is being built scrum master – the person in charge of a Scrum project, similar to a project manager scrum team – the team members working on a scrum project sprint – a time-controlled mini project that implements a specific portion of a system platform independent model – a model describing characteristics that are not specific to any deployment platform platform specific model – a model describing system characteristics that include deployment platform requirements object framework – a set of classes that are designed to be reused in a variety of programs foundation classes – the classes within an object framework component – a standardized and interchangeable software module that is fully assembled and ready to use and that has well defined interfaces to connect it to clients or other components common object request broker architecture – a standard for software component connection and interaction developed by the Object Management Group object request broker – a CORBA service that provides component directory and communication services internet inter-ORB protocol – a CORBA protocol for communication among objects and object request brokers Component Object Module Plus (COM+) – a standard for software component connection and interaction developed by Microsoft JavaBean – an object that implements the required component methods and follows the required naming conventions of the JavaBean standard Enterprise JavaBean – a JavaBean that can execute on a server and communicate with clients and other components using CORBA Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) – a standard for component communication over the Internet using HTTP and XML Microsoft .NET – a Microsoft service standard based on SOAP Java 2 Web Services – a service standard for implementing applications and services in Java Example Questions on this Section Identify the five important principles and practices that are driving many current trends in software development. Briefly explain each. What is a metamodel? How is a metamodel used? Software Principles and Practices
