Consider the following illustration: You have been charged as a software engineer with creating a hospital patient control application. Everything is explained immediately, and a high degree of reliability is required of the system. Which process model would you recommend for this kind of software, in your opinion? In addition to providing persuasive arguments in favor of your chosen process model, its explanation should be accurate, concise, and supported with an image.
Consider a system that produces inventory reports at a local retailer. Alternatively, consider a system that produces student academic records for the records office at a university. For whichever system you choose,answer the following design questions: Whowill use the output? What is the purpose ofthe output? When is the output needed, andwhen is the information that will be usedwithin the output available? Where does theoutput need to be delivered? How many people need to view the output?
Consider the following hypothetical situation: As a software developer, you have been tasked with developing a hospital patient control program. Everything is outlined in advance, and the system requires a high level of dependability. Which process model, in your view, would you propose for this kind of software? Along with giving compelling reasons in favor of your suggested process model, the description of the recommended process model should be precise and succinct.
