Comparison of software development models and their usage in computer-telephony systems

Abstract

Absfract-In this paper, basic principles and comparison of software (SW) development models are presented. First part is the presentation of development models as they are thought and studied by software engineering teachers and students. In its second part, the paper introduces a practical approach to implement one of the SW development models. Finally, the problem of determining the most suitable SW development model in the case of developing PC applications in the field of CT (ComputerTelephony) systems is presented.

The effectiveness of test-driven development: an industrial case study

“…3 Methodology and the research approach 3.1 Context of the case study Over the past years, several Computer and Web Telephony projects have been conducted using the ''Synchronize & Stabilize'' (S&S) development process model (Jovanović and Dogša 2003). The idea behind the S&S model is simple: to continually synchronize what people are doing as individuals and as members of parallel teams, and to periodically stabilize the product in increments as the project proceeds, rather than once at the end of the project (Cusumano and Selby 1997).…”

Software Development Process Models: A Technique for Evaluation and Decision-Making

“…A number of authors have attempted to compare and contrast different software development process models in the past (for example, Jovanovic and Dogsa, ; Munassar and Govardhan, ), and each have their own interpretation of the fundamental processes available. In this paper, we define five fundamental process models that encapsulate the essence of all available models: The Build and Fix Approach, Waterfall, Incremental, Evolutionary and Prototyping.…”

“…Munassar and Govardhan (), for example, compared five models—Waterfall, Incremental (Iteration), V‐process, Spiral and Extreme—through a discussion of their advantages and disadvantages. Jovanovic and Dogsa () compared the Waterfall, Prototype, Incremental, Spiral, Cleanroom and Extreme Programming (XP) approach within the context of computer‐telephony systems. However, neither study used an objective means of comparison—simply discussing the relative merits and disadvantages of each process in turn.…”
