Specific hardware solutions are always faster than programmable architectures. But dedicated architectures have the inherent disadvantage of inflexibility. Changes in the algorithm or extensions of the application are handled easily by programmable architectures. The approach discussed here involves a hardware-software co-design to optimize on performance and programmability. The architecture houses two SHARC processors to aid in parallelizing the image processing algorithms, and a reconfigurable FPGA which may be configured on the fly to execute any of the real-time algorithms as desired. The functional memory would consist of pre-designs (FPGA based) of certain objects, each of which could be used to configure an FPGA to perform a particular function.

Software engineering approach ensures the quality of software and the delivery of the product on to time to their client. The development process is facing many challenges to optimize the resource and provide the delivery on time. Each phase of the development has its unique functionality. Software development model and the architectural approaches are differ that will creates an impact in the quality of the delivery .however the developers role and their skill sets are vital role in the developmental process and to meet the deadlines of the development tasks. The developer's skills and the developmental tasks inline to the functional domain and its relational process are determine the quality factors such minimum error, functional correctness and user satisfactory. This research attempted observes the functional process of the development sector and determine the influencing factor and its associative relationship. The data from the industry and its descriptive analysis with the determined factors are discussed as part of the paper.
