I'm trying to determine some of the markers that indicate a project of limited resources. In my experience a project becomes a ‘limited resources’ project because someone was desperate to sell a solution to a client. The results is a tight budget, features are culled and SDLC processes are cut to a minimum. These short-cuts are taken so...
Both Microsoft's Team system and IBM's Rational Team Concert have similar features and functions. Both claim to be able to support either Java or .NET developers with their favorite IDE. Do you have any experience that shows one is better than the other for a one solution that works for all? Is there any key differences (features) be...
I'm in the process of developing several custom build scripts for TFS and I'd like to know if there are any best practices for developing, testing and deploying TFS build scripts. Do you setup development and QC environments that are seperate from the production build server? Are there other ways to isolate the process of developing the...

I'm not sure If any of you have encountered this scenario.We have small small projects or fixes that we need to push to LIVE every other day. There is one set of team that says "do a clean build and deploy on prod server". The other set says we don't have to do a full deploy we will just do a dll drop or aspx drop. They have listed ...

What is the industry standard break-up (man days effort) for the phases of the SDLC cycle(e.g. Analysis - 35%, Design - 15% etc etc). I beleive the most common phases are: Analysis Design Build and Unit Test Review and Unit Test Execution Assembly Test/Integration Test/UAT Production Deployment ...
I have created a PHP web-application. I have 3 environments: DEV, TEST, PROD. What's a good tool / business practice for me to move my PHP web-application code from DEV to TEST to the PROD environment? Realizing that my TEST environment still only connects to my TEST database; whereas, I need to PROD environment to connect to my PROD...
I have worked in environments where the QA team has been actively involved in the development process from the onset of a project through maintenance. I generally have found this to be effective as the QA team has an idea of what is going on from a business prospective early on in the process. They can start working on test scripts ver...
Are there any service oriented software development methodologies? ...
I am currently following a iterative V model (kind of hybrid) for the Automotive Electronics project that I'm working on. I don't understand if the SDLC model that we follow is really project specific, as I feel that we can also follow a different SDLC model with equal effectiveness. Also, which model is the best suited when it comes to ...
Being a senior of the development team, I've been asked to help generate a more refined process for our team, which right now vaguely follows the SDLC/waterfall method without standardization as to what the boundaries and outputs of each phase are ("here are some requirements, go code!"). Without getting into discussions of different m...
What are the different things that a developer (or a team of developer or the manager) needs to consider if the project they are working is now in the Implementation Phase. I am probably asking 'best practices' during the said phase. Maybe also the tools that should be made available and should be use by the developer. Thank you! I hop...
I've worked on several projects lately that have promoted the idea of shared code ownership. At times, this seemed to speed up code-improvement and enhancement. Other times, it seemed to become a ground of ego-jousting with changes being made to support individuals coding styles, favored technologies, or simply a demonstration of power...
A product is being developed and delivered as features rather than releases, meaning on completion of a feature, it's pushed to staging and then to production. There can be multiple features in development and overlapping the delivery timeline. So, at any point of time the dev database and source control has more than one feature in deve...

Hi i am making asp.net website and i am following SDLC Straitegy so which diagrams are required to draw. ...
We're working on a new ASP.Net site. The last major site we did was in classic ASP--the procedure we used there was to have the HTML completed first, then "bring it to life" with the ASP code. In the ASP.Net world, how does this work? I.e. how do the designers do their work if much of the mark-up is actually being generated by the ser...
What are different UML diagrams that I can use at different stages of SDLC? I am looking for a mapping of possible UML diagrams to each of the different stages in SDLC. ...
Hey guys, I'm sorry if this is a duplicate, but the question search terms are pretty generic. I work at a small(ish) development firm. I say small, but the company is actually a fair size; however, I'm only the second full-time developer, as most past work has been organized around contractors. I'm in a position to define internal pr...
