ABSTRACT:
For the effective product based methodology and for the documentation of software based systems Agile modeling is the best practice. Whereas agile modelling is collection of the values and the practices of the software modelling which can he applied in a software development project in a most effective manner. I would like take this paper as medium and discuss the goals and the scope for the Agile modeling. The main concentrations is about the two approaches of software development i.e Agile Model driven development (AMDD) and the Test-Driven Development (TDD). And also the steps of the

This better communication leads for the good understanding in the modeling phase about the requirements of the customers. So, this will helps to meet the needs of the stakeholders. And having the feedback on the work is very important. And also humility by letting others also to add the value to the project efforts.
Principles:
• Modeling should be simple.
• Should be quick in changes because requirements of the customers will change over time.
• Changes should be made for enable agility.
• As mention above feedback should be taken on the work to meet the needs of the stakeholders.
• Start the model with a purpose and take and refer multiple models for the effective development.
• Representation is very important than content.
• Modeler should have knowledge about the tools.
• Focus is need for the better quality of work.
Practices:
• Several Models should be created parallel.
• Right artifacts.
• Small increments should be used in a model.
Goals of Agile Modeling:
• To define the model and put that model into practice, collections of the values, principles and practices and agile modeling should be light weight.
• To use the agile approach on applying the modeling techniques on the projects which are eXtreme programming (XP), DSDM or SCRUM.
• And to address an issue on how the model effectively made on a unified process (UP) project, and also includes the rational unified process and the enterprise unified process
The 'customer' hereon in was spoken to by different individuals from the gathering, enabling every part to give encourage knowledge into conceivable issues with a necessity, and propose increments or changes to the prerequisite or new sub-prerequisites to go about as a genuine client.Using all gathering individuals as the 'customer' enables every part to consider every conceivable road of a prerequisite and gives a greatly improved arrangement in general, viably going about as a pseudo chamber behind the façade of the customer. Each underlying necessity was then raised in the meeting and developed by discovering ambiguities and potential issues, which were then changed into assist useful and non-useful prerequisites to be recorded close by the current prerequisites where conceivable.
“Agile” was first introduced in 2001, by a team of software engineers looking to improve their adaptiveness and responsiveness to ever-changing requirements. Not knowing where to begin, the team began by formulating principles, which they would use to guide their new development process. Which, in turn, lead to the creation of the Agile Manifesto, and thus a new methodology was born.
Agile techniques should be used to solve the current issues faced by the company as agile techniques normally being used by the software industry help the business to act in response under the unpredictable situations faced. In Agile methodologies opportunities are been provided to evaluate whether the project is under the direction all through its development cycle. All this is being accomplished with the help of regular tempo kept in work, and the teams must show a product which is having the desired potential.
Agile is an iterative and incremental (evolutionary) approach to software development which is performed in a highly collaborative manner by self-organizing teams within an effective governance framework, with "just enough" ceremony, that produces high quality solutions, in a cost effective and timely manner which meets the changing needs of its stakeholders [1].
This paper discusses about Traditional Software engineering, Agile software development, the Waterfall software development model and also a new concept of Agile software engineering. After a thorough analysis of the paper, I could relate it to topics of Traditional Software Engineering (TSE) which is the process of developing software products. It deals with Cost estimation and budgeting, scheduling, Requirements analysis, Design, Implementation, Testing and Deployment, Measuring products and processes, Quality improvement, Maintenance and so on… Another concept that I could relate to was
“Agile Software Development is an umbrella term for a set of methods and practices based on the values and principles expressed in the Agile Manifesto. Solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams utilizing the appropriate practices for their context” (Agile Alliance, 2015).
Agile Development Model is also a type of incremental model with focus on process adaptability and customer satisfaction by rapid delivery of working software product. Agile methods break the product into small incremental releases with each release building on previous functionality.
Software quality is one of the most important concerns of software industry. Software testing helps in measuring and verifying quality of a software product. There are several methodologies followed by testing process for quality assessment. Each methodology has its own advantages and disadvantages. Agile testing follows agile software development principles in which software is tested for performance issues. In this paper we analyze quality assurance using agile processes and will demonstration how agile process achieves software quality assessment.
The basic idea of this agile software development life cycle is to develop a system or a process through repeated cycles with smaller portions at a time. This will help the software developers to have a good understanding of what they have learnt during the development phases than the earlier versions of the system. The possible advantage of the iterative and the incremental model combined is that with each and every iteration design modifications are to be made and new
Most of software houses use agile development methodologies such as XP and scrum to enhance its product quality, increase communication between teams, release products in short time and to participate its clients in software development life cycle. There are many problems usually occur, first problem the time spent between development of the software and to make it operational. Second problem is the difference between environments. There are two different environments; development environment is the first environment which is used to develop, build and deploy the software in development life cycle. This environment has no constrains. On the other hand, operation environment, which is usually called production environment. In operation
Agile software development is a collection of software development methods where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration among self-organizing and cross-functional teams. It promotes flexible planning, progressive development,
In agile development model, the development of software is in incremental, rapid cycles. It is building new features on previous functionality with each small incremental release. The software quality is maintained by rigorously testing each release. It is useful for time critical applications. The most well-known current agile development life cycle model is Extreme Programming (XP).
Software development is one of the highest demands in all over the world. We use software development techniques to solve the problems and to satisfy customers. Agile software development is a conceptual framework for software; it is also a group of software development methods based on iterative development. In 2001, agile software development was created by seventeen people with a desire to find alternative approaches to software development. The most important thing about agile methods are team work, conveying information to the team, face to face conversation, and satisfy the customer. There are various methodologies but I am going to describe the most popular ones.
Agile development is a relatively new management framework for knowledge work projects, focusing on the socio-technical nature of project teams and creative collaboration (Gandomani & Nafchi, 2016). Software development is at the forefront of the transition to agile methodologies (Lechler & Siwen, 2017) and I am currently studying for the PMI Agile
As we saw throughout the last forty or so years is that computer systems frequently evolve and that developmental change is inevitable and software development is no stranger to this, which is where agile development or the term that some use agile software development comes into play. This is a concept that searches for alternatives to the traditional way of managing a project and based on the foundation that change is essential to software development. Throughout this paper, we will look at the reasons that brought about the change in thinking with regard to software development, discuss some of the key principles of agile development, methods under agile development and the benefits of the use of agile development. Let’s begin this document with a discussion into what brought about the change in thinking.
