Context:Quality requirements (QRs) describe the desired quality of software, and they play an important role in the success of software projects. In agile software development (ASD), QRs are often ill-defined and not well addressed due to the focus on quickly delivering functionality. Rapid ...
Agile software development istheway we build software now. The general consensus on management of software development projects is that predictive planning approaches (e.g.,Waterfall) are ill suited for the job. However, almost two decades after the release of theAgile Manifestoand the rise ofScru...
The iterative and incremental agile software development is often seen as an ill-match to many security engineering models that require up-front design that may diminish agility. Given this motivation, the paper presented an industry survey on the use and perceived impact of various security engineer...
Research shows that practitioners of incon- sistent and ill-structured tasks can apparently spend their careers not learning and not improving their performance beyond a very narrow subset of consistent tasks [28, 42]. In the field of judgement and decision making, cognition is often modelled as ...
believe development is a linear process. You ignore unpleasant feedback. Rather than acting on it, you always stick to the plan, just like a politician in an ill-advised military quagmire. If any of these descriptions are true for your organization—or for yourself—then you’re not ready....
For example, committing to complex user stories that require contributions from multiple team members is ill-advised because some teammates may become unavailable during the sprint. If possible, these stories should be broken down into smaller ones or delayed if the product owner is able to de-pri...
waterfall methods of software development—a more linear development process with greater upfront planning. The counter argument, is that great software requires careful and detailed upfront planning to avoid dead ends, blockages, capability limitations, and expensive rewrites of ill-planned spaghetti ...
As with internal development, it's not as simple as flipping a switch to go Agile. Pay closeattention to the languagein an Agile development contract. Conventional software development contracts are often an ill fit for Agile projects, as it can be difficult to estimate the amount of work to...
needed to build successful software in the first place. Without past experience to draw on, teams were ill equipped to estimate project costs and time to completion, leading to software that was often delivered over budget, over schedule, and lacking key functionality — if it was delivered at...
This not only ensures that testing is consistent and efficient but also makes security requirements explicit, so that developers don’t waste time puzzling over how to satisfy ill-defined policies laid down by separate groups. Common security tests, such as penetr...
