Details :
The software lifecycle chosen for our team to carry out the project is a combination of the Rapid Application Development (RAD) and waterfall model. With the combination model we used, we can develop our project faster and systematic.
As each of our programming leader and other group member has a computer and complete pre-existing components condition, we have divide ourselves into two teams with each programming leader lead a group. The separate teams will complete the functions by part, and then integrated them as a whole system. The functions of the website can be easily link together so there should not much problems for the integration part. Since the requirements are clearly well-understood, RAD model can help to come out with a fully functional shopping application in a short time.
In addition, with the combination of the waterfall model, we can improve our planning and management stage. Moreover the online shopping applications are well-defined and repeated projects since there are a lot of online shopping website such as e-bay exists in the internet world. In the waterfall model, the activities ‘flow’ from one phase to another in a systematic and sequential form. After the system testing, if there are corrections, it will return to a previous phase and ‘flow’ from there again. The systematic project monitoring and control can make our software development more effective and efficiency.
