maintenance phase
In this phase, the organization performs changes, corrections, additions, and upgrades
to ensure the system continues to meet business goals
prototyping
An experimental process where design teams implement ideas into tangible forms from
paper to digital; increases the chance for successful implementation as well as the
chance of detecting errors early on
preventative maintenance
Makes a system change to reduce the chance of future system failures
methodology
A set of policies, procedures, standard processes, practice tools, and techniques that
people apply to TECO management challenges
waterfall methodology
A sequence of phases in which the output of each phase becomes the input for the next
discovery prototyping
Building a small-scale representation or working model of the system to ensure it meets
the user and business requirement
iterative development
Consist of a series of tiny projects
agile methodology
Achieves customer satisfaction through early and continual delivery of useful software
components; developed by an iterative process with design points that use the bare
minimum requirement to produce working code or function
rapid application development (RAD)
Also called rapid prototyping methodology; emphasizes extensive user involvement in
the rapid and evolutionary construction of a working prototype of a system to accelerate
the system's development process
extreme program (XP) methodology
It breaks a project into tiny phases; developers cannot continue to the next phase until
the first phase is completed
Rational Unified Process (RUP) methodology
Provides a framework for breaking down the development of software into four or five
phases
scrum methodology
Uses small teams to produce small pieces of deliverable software, using sprints or 30-
day intervals to achieve an appointed goal
web service
An open-standard way of supporting the interoperability of technology systems.
cascading style sheet (CSS)
A markup language for web documents containing structured information
loose coupling
The capability of services to be joined on demand
