Abstract

The traditional notion of software lies in plan-driven model of development. However, agile development methods universally rely on updating and improving the plan along with the passage of time. They are best suited for application development where the system requirements usually change rapidly during development. Suited for small sized teams and small projects, agile development cannot be easily applied in large companies with large projects. Much work has been done in past to scale the agile development techniques. In this paper, we discuss scaled agile development framework, highlighting the problems associated with this scaling.

Abstract

The notion of 'software engineering' was first proposed in 1968, defining best practices for software development, grounded in the application of engineering. Though, the key areas of software engineering process are identified as specification, development, validation and evolution by every process model, little attention is paid to specification and designing as compared to development, testing and maintenance. In this paper, we consider few case studies where negligence during requirements engineering and faulty design led to heavy causalities.
