Question 1

What are the steps in the engineering process model for developing MobileApps?

Answer 1

-Formulation
-Planning
-Analysis
-Engineering
-Implementation and testing
-User evaluation

Question 2

Explain what is wrong with the notion that computer software does not need to evolve over time.

Answer 2

Computer software must be revised as errors are discovered and corrected.Software must be updated to accommodate changes in the computing environment.Many times a customer will request changes to add new functions to an existing product or to accommodate changes in the business environment.Sometimes an older system will need to be reengineered to provide benefits to the user in a modern context.The bottom line is that software that does not evolve will eventually become unusable.

Question 3

Why are evolutionary models considered by many to be the best approach to software development in a modern context?

Answer 3

Because time lines for the development of modern software are getting shorter and shorter,customers are becoming more diverse (making the understanding of requirements even harder),and changes to requirements are becoming even more common (before delivery),we need a way to provide incremental or evolutionary delivery.The evolutionary process accommodates uncertainty better than most process
