Software Development Methodology

LG offers its clients proven Software Development methodologies based on project characteristics, which include; 1) Agile 2) Iterative 3) Waterfall AGILE MODEL Agile software development minimizes risk by developing software in short timeboxes, called iterations, which typically last one to four weeks. Each iteration is like a miniature software project of its own, and includes all of the tasks necessary to release the mini-increment of new functionality: planning, requirements analysis, design, coding, testing, and documentation. While an iteration may not add enough functionality to warrant releasing the product, an agile software project intends to be capable of releasing new software at the end of every iteration. At the end of each iteration, the team reevaluates project priorities. Agile methods also emphasize working software as the primary measure of progress. Combined with the preference for face-to-face communication, agile methods produce very little written documentation relative to other methods.

ITERATIVE MODEL This is an evolutionary process, which allows the project to construct the Product in incremental stages where each stage adds additional functionality. Each stage consists of design, code and unit test, integration test and delivery. The advantages of this model are that it implies an earlier (than waterfall model) delivery of functional Product to the customer and that increments can be planned in such a way that the high priority functionalities can be delivered first.

WATERFALL MODEL The Waterfall model consists of a set of phases that a project progresses through in a sequential order. Each phase must be completed before the project can progress to the next phase. There is no overlap between phases. At the end of each phase is some form of gateway, usually a formal review where that decision is made.
