There are frequently severe political repercussions when software requirements analysis (and/or system analysis) begins. For example, workers may feel that job security is threatened by a new automated system. What causes such problems? Can the analysis task be conducted so that politics is minimized?

Pair programming is an agile software development technique in which two programmers work together at one work station. One types in code while the other reviews each line of code as it is typed in. The person typing is called the driver. The person reviewing the code is called the observer. The two programmers switch roles frequently (possibly every 30 minutes or less). Suppose that you are asked to build a system that allows Remote Pair Programming. That is, the system should allow the driver and the observer to be in remote locations, but both can view a single desktop in real-time. The driver should be able to edit code and the observer should be able to “point” to objects on the driver’s desktop. In addition, there should be a video chat facility to allow the programmers to communicate. The system should allow the programmers to easily swap roles and record rationale in the form of video chats. In addition, the driver should be able to issue the system to backup old work.a) Draw a…

A safety-critical system is one whose failure or misuse may cause human injury or death. Given that an EHR system can be considered to be such a system, which tasks associated with software implementation deserve special attention?
To what extent does the waterfall model apply to the software development life cycle (SDLC), and what are its numerous steps? What does Barry Boehm have to say about spiral models, and what are his thoughts on them?
Check and illustrate with simulation examples the ability to determine schedulability of a set of tasks using the sufficient condition with task deadlines instead of periods. Show that such tests are rather pessimistic.

For system analysis and design, what are the benefits of object-oriented methods such as these?
Modern food production requires modern software solutionsDe Heus a.s. needed to build a system that would combine the possibilities of effective document management with the connection to other internally used systems (Integra, ABRA Gen). The flow of company processes was not defined, it was rather “customary” – electronically received invoices were printed and together with a paper shirt travelled on the desks of individual approvers in the same way as those delivered only on paper.It was common for invoices not to be approved on time or even to be lost, which caused delays, and also damaged De Heus’ reputation in the eyes of its suppliers. Data from received invoices were manually transcribed into the ERP, which in turn placed increased demands on the time and attention of the accountants. After signing, contracts were scanned and stored in a folder on a shared drive. In the case that someone forgot to scan a contract, it resulted in an often complicated process to trace it back…
