3. _____ the user interface is developed
4. _____ the software is developed
5. _____ users are given the software to try for feedback
6. _____ users are given training
7. _____ bugs are documented and fixed

Possible answers:

Solution:

1. Preliminary Analysis a feasibility study is done
2. Systems Analysis data requirements are developed
3. Systems Design the user interface is developed
4. Programming the software is developed
5. Testing users are given the software to try for feedback
6. Implementation users are given training
7. Maintenance bugs are documented and fixed

Drag the correct development methodology to the definition:

1. _____ quickly building a working model of the software, getting feedback from users, and then using that feedback to update the working model.
2. _____ group of methodologies that utilize incremental changes with a focus on quality and attention to detail.
3. _____ on taking an initial idea and developing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
4. _____ methodology in which non-programmers create and develop working applications.
5. _____ structures approach to creating new applications that follows a phased approach.

Possible answers:

Solution:
