Effectiveness of Agile Development Frameworks with Respect to Testing

Abstract

Software Development Life Cycle models are used as the basis to design software applications. In these models, there exists some tribulations and to overcome these defects, agile models are presented. The mature software applications of agile development utilize both iterative and incremental style. It can be viewed as a response against conventional procedural activity. It is viewed not as to meet the volatility and varying situations but as the modern business ethics for software development. By examining and exploring the agile models, it has been found that efficiency of agile models can be improved. This research investigates the agile frameworks (DSDM and LSD) in terms of testing. It also examines that the effectiveness of dynamic systems development model (DSDM) from testing perspective. The results show the performance of DSDM agile framework and the estimated efficiency of this framework.
