1. Software development lifecycles Model:

A. SDLC Define:

The Software Development Lifecycle is a systematic process for building software

that ensures the quality and correctness of the software built. SDLC process aims to
produce high-quality software which meets customer expectations. The software
development should be complete in the pre-defined time frame and cost.

a. Types of iterative model (spiral and DSDM):

1. Spiral model:
1.In the spiral model, the planning of the report is used the many times in the
application because for changing many Times the code the spiral model is been
used.
2. The risk-driven feature of the spiral model allows it to accommodate any
mixture of a specification-oriented, prototype-oriented, simulation-oriented, or
another type of approach.
3. An essential element of the model is that each period of the spiral is
completed by a review that includes all the products developed during that
cycle, including plans for the next cycle. The spiral model works for
development as well as enhancement projects.
4. The spiral model is been used and the remaining other model is not used that
much because it runs.

2. (DSDM)Dynamic Systems Development Model:

1.(DSDM)Dynamic Systems Development Model is a software development
methodology originally based on the Rapid Application Development
methodology.
2.This is an iterative and incremental approach that emphasizes continuous user
involvement. Its main aim is to deliver software systems on time and on the
budget.
3.This model simply works on the philosophy that nothing is developed perfectly
in the first attempt and considers as an ever-changing process.

b. Types of Sequential model (waterfall and v-model):

1. Waterfall Model:
1.This model is not much used in this project because in this waterfall model
when the programming is done it does not follow.
2.The lopping condition for repeat or for the execution of the code or to do any
changes it cannot be done in this model because it names itself know

one at a time.
3.Easy to arrange tasks. 3.It is difficult to measure progress
within stages.

2. V-model:

V-model is a type of SDLC model where process executes in a sequential manner

in V-shape. It is also known as Verification and Validation model. It is based on the
association of a testing phase for each corresponding development stage.

B. Risk management (Spiral model):

a. Define risk management:

It is the process used by project managers to minimize any potential problems
that may negatively impact a project's timetable. Risk is any unexpected event
that might affect the people, processes, technology, and resources involved in
a project.

b. RISK IN SPIRAL MODEL:

 For any project activity (e.g., requirements analysis, design, prototyping,
testing).
 The project team must decide how much effort is enough. In-authentic spiral
process cycles, these decisions are made by minimizing overall risk.
 The spiral model is a risk-driven software development process model.

 Based on the unique risk patterns of a given project, the spiral model guides a

team to adopt elements of one or more process models, such as incremental,
waterfall, or evolutionary prototyping.

 Documentation is more as it has intermediate phases.

 It is not advisable for smaller project it might cost them a lot.
 For its smooth operation spiral model protocol needs to be followed strictly.
 It works best for large projects only also demands risk assessment expertise.

D. Water lifecycle Model Advantages:

 Phases are processed and completed one at a time. 

 It has clearly Define stages.

 Simple and easy to understand and use.

 Therefore, the Waterfall model is best for use.

 Works well for smaller projects where requirements are very well understood.

 Project is completely dependent on project team with minimum client

intervention.

 Suited for smaller projects where requirements are well defined.

 Any changes in software is made during the process of the development.

 Before the next phase of development, each phase must be completed.

 It is also referred to as a linear-sequential life cycle model.

2. FEASIBILITY STUDY:

A.
a. Define Feasibility Study:

A feasibility study is an assessment of the practicality of a proposed project or

system. A feasibility study aims to objectively and rationally uncover the strengths
and weaknesses of an existing business or proposed venture, opportunities.

b. Purpose:

A. Facing the Challenges of a Project Feasibility Study:

 The biggest source of criticism will come from the person or the team that
championed the idea in the first place.
 Strong leaders can develop the ability to conduct a project feasibility study on
their own ideas.
 since they have learned how to make peace with the fact that not every idea
deserves to be fully explored.

B. Advantages Feasibility Study:

1. Understanding Demand:

 always whether a real demand exists for a product or a service.

 This holds true for internal projects as well as for potential consumer offerings.

 For example, a project manager tasked with launching a customer

relationship management system can examine the real demand for specific
features, based on feedback from customers and from staff.

2. Assessing Resources:

 Another of the advantages of feasibility studies is the opportunity to the

current resources available for a project and to estimate the need for
additional resources.
 Feasibility studies that recommend against projects often cite a lack of human
resources or financial capital.

3. Marketing Feasibility:

 Even for products and services with measurable demand, companies must
examine their ability to spread the word about a new offering. During

Tapan Sandha OB0719A37A P a g e | 14

 the project managers learn whether the market is already over saturated with
stronger competitors.

4. Marking a Timeline:

 One of the biggest advantages of a feasibility study is the validation of a

prospective timeline.
 When moving into a formal project planning phase, a project manager can
use data generated by the study to help set milestones and deadlines.
 A quality feasibility study examines the timetable suggested by project
sponsors for potential delays or breakdowns.

C. Components of a feasibility report:

Tapan Sandha OB0719A37A P a g e | 16

a. Define component feasibility:
Feasibility studies are usually carried out by major engineering firms who have the
multi-disciplinary expertise on all the major project issues like project design,
economics, environmental, logistics, stakeholder, regulatory requirements, and so
forth.

b. Component:
 Economics
 Environmental
 Historical

 Economics

The economic feasibility of a project is determined by:

 Estimating the project costs

Because the design is mostly complete, each item is estimated using
comparisons to previous projects or unit rate averages from various sources.
 Estimating revenue
The revenue generated from the project is usually a lot less certain than the
capital cost of the plant.  For that reason, feasibility studies usually evaluate
several different scenarios, for example high-medium-low or
optimistic/pessimistic scenarios.  applied to account for potential price
volatility. Risk is an important component of this step, since there are usually
many that could impact the project’s revenue stream.

 Estimating operations and maintenance costs.

Tapan Sandha OB0719A37A P a g e | 17

A. Capital budgeting techniques:
The feasibility study considers all of the capital inflows and outflows accounting for
the time value of money. 
B. Internal Rate of Return:
The percentage return generated by the project, which is comparable to a stock
market return.
C. Payback Period:
The length of time it takes to recover the initial investment.

 Environmental

 In this day and age, environmental regulations are integral to project

feasibility. 
 There are many environmental regulations that could derail a project if a
project manager is not familiar with their project’s environmental footprint.
 In most jurisdictions, environmental reviews must be completed for any
construction work that involves disturbing a site. 
 These reviews require monitoring and establishing a baseline for a variety of
ecosystem components, which include:

 Historical

Tapan Sandha OB0719A37A P a g e | 18

  You might be surprised how many projects are commissioned without a
proper idea of who tried the same thing, how long ago, and whether or not
they were successful. 
 Success is often relative – maybe they succeeded partially and there are
good lessons learned for the current project manager.
 Even if it doesn’t swing the project feasibility, the previous lessons learned
could significantly reduce the cost or schedule of the project.

D. Impact different feasibility:

 Types of feasibility:
1. Technical Feasibility
2.Operational
3.Time
4.Legal
5.Economical
6.Management
a. Six types of impact feasibility:

1.Technical:

a. Input device which can enter a large amount of data in the effective time.
b. Output devices which can produce output in a bulk in an effective time.
c. The choice of processing unit depends upon the type of processing required in
the organization.

2.Operational:

a. This aspect defines the urgency of the problem and the acceptability of any
solution. It shows if the system is developed, will it be used.
b. The operational study includes people- oriented and social issues: internal issues,
such as manpower problems
3.Time Feasibility:

a. Given his technical expertise; the analyst should determine if the project deadlines
are reasonable whether constraints placed on the project schedule can be
reasonably met.
b. Some projects are initiated with specific deadlines.

c. We may have the technology, but that doesn't mean we have the skills required to
properly apply that technology.

4.Legal Feasibility:

a. Determines whether the proposed system conflicts with legal requirements.

e.g. A Data Processing system must comply with the local Data Protection Acts.
b. When an organization has either internal or external legal counsel, such reviews
are typically standard.

Tapan Sandha OB0719A37A P a g e | 20

c. However, a project may face legal issues after completion if this factor is not
considered at this stage.

5. Economic Feasibility:

a. The bottom line in many projects is economic feasibility.

b. During the early phases of the project, economic feasibility analysis amounts to
little more than judging whether the possible benefits of solving the problem are
worthwhile.
c. As soon as specific requirements and solutions have been identified, the analyst
can weigh the costs and benefits of each alternative.

6.Management:

A. Security Requirements:

a. Depending upon the category of user the access rights are decided.
b. It means if the user is an administrator then he can be able to modify the data,
delete, append etc. all other users other than library staff only have the rights to
retrieve the information about database.

B. Software Quality Attributes:

The Quality of the database is maintained in such a way so that it can be very user
friendly to all the users of the database.

C. Hardware Constraints:

The system requires a database in order to store persistent data. The database
should have backup capabilities.
D. Server:

Operating System: Windows

Processor: Pentium 4.0 GHz or higher
RAM: 1GB Mb or more
Hard Drive: 80 GB or more.
