(Waterfall & Parallel)
, Rapid Application Development (RAD) correct answers A development method that uses special
tools and an iterative approach to rapidly produce a high-quality system.
(Phased, Prototyping, & Throwaway Prototyping)
Agile Development correct answers a guiding philosophy and set of guidelines for developing
information systems in an unknown, rapidly changing environment
(eXtreme Programming)
Waterfall Development correct answers Development method that focuses on completing each
stage of the SDLC for the entire project before moving onto the next.
Parallel Development Methodology correct answers -Subdivide the project into subprojects that
can be worked on at the same time.
-Reduce the overall project length
Phased Development correct answers breaks an overall system into a series of versions that are
developed sequentially
System Prototyping correct answers performs the analysis, design, and implementation phases
concurrently in order to quickly develop a simplified version of the proposed system and give it
to the users for evaluation and feedback.
Throwaway Prototyping correct answers Prototyping of user requirements, after which the
prototype is discarded and implementation continues.
Extreme Programming correct answers
Object Oriented Analysis & Design correct answers Uses UML
