Assignment 2
Objective:
To understand Importance of Software Development Life Cycle in providing greater quality to software
development or how software testing accelerates the development process.
Task:
Each student is expected to choose a relevant, current trend topic related to SDLC (For example: SDLC
Phases, Types of SDLC, SDLC in project management etc.) or Testing (For Example: Artificial intelligence
in testing, Agile and devops, API and services test automation, etc.) from a relevant web source
(Gartner, Fortune Technology, Medium.com, etc.) or books and relevant academic journals can be
considered as the source. Also you are expected to find information relevant to the chosen topic from
two other sources.
Write a short report (not more than 2 pages) describing the chosen topic mentioning the relevant
sources from which the information is summarized.
The report is expected to follow the format as given below.
The report should contain four sections.
o First Section (Preamble) – A brief introduction to the identified topic and the
importance of the specific topic in the Software Industry.
o Second Section (Project author View) – A complete discussion and analysis of the
information stated by the author of the topic in your Preliminary Source.
o Third Section (Potential generalized View) – You are expected to refer the other two
decided sources and bring out the argument either supporting or contrasting the
information from preliminary source.
o Fourth Section (Position Your Viewpoint) – Having gained an understanding with
respect to the topic, this sections expects you to pen down key points about the topic
from your perspective on the impacts of the topic in the software industry.
Each section expects to have minimum 90 words.
Title each of your section accordingly.
The points included in the report are expected to be technical and relevant to the chosen topic.
Also, the links / names of the source are expected to be acknowledged in the appropriate
sections.
Note:
– The students are requested to choose a topic and enter the topic in the shared excel.
– There happens to be abundance of topics in both the domains, hence each student is expected
to choose a unique topic. So, make sure you check everyone’s topic before entering yours in
the shared excel.
– If more than two students have the same topic, all of them who chose the topic will have to
submit a new assignment.
