Software Development Lifecycle Models and System Investigation, Quizzes of Software Engineering
This assignment covers software development lifecycles (SDLC) and system investigation. The student must describe SDLC models, explain risk management, provide an app example, and assess the waterfall model. They must also explain feasibility studies, requirement gathering techniques, and conduct a system investigation for a program upgrade project, discussing software analysis tools and behavioral design techniques.

Student Signature: Tutor Signature: Date: Date: Submission Format The submission of evidence will be in form of an individual report comprising of multiple sections. Make sure that you segment each section properly and use a separate cover page for each section. You are required to make use of headings, paragraphs, subsections and illustrations as appropriate, and all work must be supported with research and referenced using the Harvard referencing system. You will use a formal cover sheet followed by a Table of Content and Table of Figures. Section 1 will be titled as “Software Development Lifecycle Models” and this will cover the complete evidence for Stage 1. The word limit for this section is 1500 words, however, you will not be penalized for exceeding this limit. Section 2 will be titled as “Significance of Feasibility Study” and this will cover the complete evidence for Stage 2. The word limit for this section is 1500 words, however, you will not be penalized for exceeding this limit. Section 3 will be titled as “System Investigation using SDLC Model” and this will cover the complete evidence for Stage 3. The word limit for this section is 1500 words, however, you will not be penalized for exceeding this limit.
This Assignment Brief is the property of Stage 3 With the successful completion of the Stage 2, the company has bestowed the designation of Assistant System Analyst. However, you are finally required to complete the Stage 3 which requires the actual demonstration of the knowledge and skillset in the field of System Analysis. In this regard, you are assigned with a medium-scale programme upgrade project (select your own project and discuss with your assessor about it and get the confirmation) where you are required to conduct an investigation of the existing system and identify the business needs that are not supported by the existing system. You are required to: Develop and use your investigation instruments for identifying missing business needs and consult with the actual users/stakeholders as to how the existing system is not meeting those needs. Use appropriate software analysis tools and techniques to carry out an existing system evaluation and develop supporting documentation. Incorporate 2 approaches that, according to you, are effective in improving software quality. Determine how this investigation process effectively facilitate software quality improvement. Discuss, using examples, the suitability of software behavioural design techniques like flowcharts, pseudocode, formal specification methods, Finite State Machines (e-FSM)/ FSP. Analyse the range of software behavioral tools and techniques and illustrate their use with an example. Particularly discuss about the difference between FSM and e-FSM Differentiate between a finite state machine (FSM) and an extended-FSM, providing an application for both. Justify whether that data driven software can be improved in terms of reliability and effectiveness. Please access HN Global for additional resources support and reading for this unit.
