Agile Software Development Life Cycle: Case Study

Learn more about our agile software development life cycle from our Mitsubishi case study.

Any software development project, either big or small, requires a great deal of planning and steps that divide the entire development process into several smaller tasks that can be assigned to specific people, completed, measured, and evaluated. Agile Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), is the process for doing exactly that – planning, developing, testing, and deploying information systems. The benefit of agile SDLC is that project managers can omit, split, or mix certain steps depending on the project’s scope while maintaining the efficiency of the development process and the integrity of the development life cycle. 

Today, we are going to examine a software development life cycle case study from one of Intersog’s previous projects to show how agility plays a crucial role in the successful delivery of the final product. Several years back, we worked with Mitsubishi Motors helping one of the world’s leading automotive manufacturers to develop a new supply chain management system. With the large scope of the project, its complex features, and many stakeholders relying on the outcomes of the project, we had to employ an agile approach to ensure a secure software development life cycle.

Business Requirements

Mitsubishi Motors involves many stakeholders and suppliers around the world, which makes its supply chain rather complex and data-heavy. That is why timely improvements are crucial for the proper functioning of this huge system and a corporation as a whole. Over the years of functioning, the old supply chain has been accumulating some noticeable frictions that resulted in the efficiency bottlenecks, and Intersog offered came ups with just the right set of solutions to make sufficient solutions that would help Mitsubishi ensure a coherent line of communication and cooperation with all the involved suppliers.

  • Pioneering the Future: AI Startups Leading Real-World Transformations

Previously, Mitsubishi used an outdated supply chain management system that involved a large number of spreadsheets that required a lot of manual input. Considering a large number of stakeholders, the problem of synchronization has been a pressing one as well – different stakeholders would input the data at different speeds and at different times of day, which created a degree of confusion among suppliers. Though the system has been sufficient for a long time, the time has come to eliminate all the redundancies and streamline data input. 

The legacy system has been partially automated and ran on the IBM AS400 server, which allows for impressive flexibility, but it no longer sufficed for Mitsubishi’s growing needs. The main requirement, thus, was to create a robust online supply chain solution that would encompass the entire logistics process starting with auto parts and steel suppliers and ending with subcontractors and car dealerships around the world. That being said, Mitsubishi did not want to completely change the system, they opted for overhaul, and we came up with the idea of an integrated web application that was meant to function in conjunction with a DB2 base that was already used on the IBM AS400 server. 

IT Architecture and Agile SDLC

Mitsubishi employs a series of guidelines and rules on how to build, modify, and acquire new IT resources, which is why Intersog had to be truly agile to adapt to the client’s long-established IT architecture. Adapting to the requirements of the client, and especially to the strict regulations of the IT architecture of large corporations like Mitsubishi requires knowledge, flexibility, and strong industry expertise. Each software development company has its own architecture standards and frameworks for building new systems but many face difficulties when working with the existing systems and modifying them to the new requirements.

Intersog has no such problems. We approached Mitsubishi’s case with strong industry expertise and flexibility to account for all the client’s needs and specifications of the existing system. Obviously, following the client’s architecture regulations requires a profound understanding of said regulations, which is why information gathering is an integral phase of the software development life cycle.

Requirements Gathering

The requirements gathering phase can take anywhere from just a couple of days to several weeks. Working with complex and multi-layered legacy systems like the one used by Mitsubishi requires serious analysis and information gathering. In the case of Mitsubishi, our dedicated team had to gain a clear understanding of how the legacy system functions, create new software specifications, map out the development process, gather and create all the necessary documentation, track all the issues related to the functioning of the legacy system, outline the necessary solutions, and allocate all the resources to achieve the project’s goals in the most efficient manner. 

Working on the Mitsubishi project, our team has been gathering all the required information for up to 4 weeks. This included a profound examination of the legacy system, mapping out all of its flaws and specifications, bridging the gaps between the current state of the system and the requirements of the client, and outlining the development process. 

software development a case study

  • Game-Changing Trends in Custom Software Development

The design stage includes all the integral decisions regarding the software architecture, its makeover, the tech frameworks that would be used in the system’s rework. During this stage, developers discuss the coding guidelines, the tools, practices, and runtimes that will help the team meet the client’s requirements. Working with large corporations like Mitsubishi, a custom software development team has to work closely with the company’s own developers to better understand the specifics of the architecture and create a design that reflects all the requirements. 

After all the requirements are gathered, we initiated the design stage based on all of the client’s specifications and came up with a number of solutions that matched Mitsubishi’s specs:

  • Convenient data model meant to optimize data duplication;
  • Permission system that differentiated the users by their access levels;
  • Appealing user interface mockup to improve the comfortability of user-system interaction;
  • Integration with the legacy RPG system;
  • Notifications for the partners to keep them up with the important activities.

This set of essential solutions has been discussed and approved in the course of the design stage that lasted for 2 months. During this stage, Intersog and Mitsubishi development teams worked closely to come up with the solutions that matched the client’s requirements to the tee. Proper functioning of the supply chain is vital for the entire corporation, which is why it was critical to do everything flawlessly. 2 months might seem like quite a timeline, but for this case study on software development life cycle, it was not that long considering how complex Mitsubishi’s legacy system was. 

Solution Development

After approving the solution design, the team can move to develop those solutions. That’s the core of the entire project, a stage at which the teams meet the goals and achieve the outcomes set during previous stages. The success of the development stage depends heavily on how good a job the teams did during the design stage – if everything was designed with laser precision, the team can expect few if any, surprises during the development stage. 

What happens during the development stage is the teams coding their way towards the final product based on decisions that have been made earlier. With Mitsubishi, we followed the guidelines we came up with earlier and implemented a set of essential solutions:

  • We built a convenient data model that minimizes the risk of human error by reducing redundant and repetitive data entry and duplication. 
  • Improved Mitsubishi’s security system to differentiate the users by their level of access and give them the respective level of control over the data.
  • Added the notifications for the users so that they could react to the relevant changes faster.
  • Designed an appealing and comfortable user interface using the AJAX framework to make the user-system interaction more comfortable and time-efficient. 
  • Deployed the platform running on the IBM AS400 server with the integration of DB2 databases.
  • Integrated the existing RPG software into the new system.
  • Migrated the existing spreadsheets and all the essential data into the new system.

All of these solutions took us 6 months to implement, which is rather fast for a project of such scale. Such a time-efficiency was possible only thanks to the huge amount of work we’ve done throughout the research and design stages. The lesson to learn from these software development life cycle phases for the example case study is that the speed of development would depend heavily on how well you prepare. 

Depending on the scale of the project, you might be looking at different timelines for the development stage. Small scale projects can be finished in a matter of weeks while some of the most complicated solutions might take more than a year to finish. In the case of the Mitsubishi project, it was essential for the client to get things done faster. Rushing things up is never a good idea, but you can always cut your development timeline by doing all the preparation work properly and having a clear understanding of what needs to be done and in which order.

Quality Assurance                   

Quality assurance is as vital for your project’s success as any other stage; this is where you test your code, assess the quality of solutions, and make sure everything runs smoothly and according to plan. Testing helps you identify all the bugs and defects in your code and eliminate those in a timely manner. Here at Intersog, we prefer testing our software on a regular basis throughout the development process. This approach helps us to identify the issues on the go and fix them before they snowball into serious problems. 

That’s it, quality assurance is a set of procedures aimed at eliminating bugs and optimizing the functioning of the software solutions. Here at Intersog, we run both manual and automated tests so that we can be truly sure of the quality of solutions we develop for our clients. With Mitsubishi, we ran tests throughout the development process and after the development stage was over. It took us an additional month to test all the solutions we’ve developed, after which we were ready for the implementation stage.

Integration and Support

Following the testing, and once we are sure all the solutions work flawlessly, the development team gets to the implementation stage. Also known as the integration stage, this is where we integrate the new solution into the client’s pre-existing ecosystem. Basically, you are putting new gears into a complex mechanism that has been functioning for many years, and it is essential to make sure all of those gears fit perfectly. 

With such a complex system as the one employed by Mitsubishi and a vast amount of accumulated data, our developers had to be incredibly precise not to lose anything. We are talking about surgical precision because Mitsubishi’s suppliers amassed thousands upon thousands of spreadsheets full of critical data on supplies, material and product deliveries, accounting data, and more. All of that had to be carefully integrated with the new automated solution. 

After 2 months, the solutions have been fully integrated with Mitsubishi’s existing ecosystem. Intersog usually backs the clients up by offering support and maintenance services to ensure flawless functioning of the system over time, but this time, our client was fully capable of maintaining the new system on their own. As said, Mitsubishi has its own development team that is able to take care of the system maintenance, so that our cooperation was finished after the integration stage. 

Final Thoughts and Outtakes

A software development life cycle depends on many factors that are unique for each company. In the case of Mitsubishi, we’ve managed to get things done in just under a year, which is rather fast for a project of such an immense scale. Different projects have different life cycles, and it depends on the scale, the client’s ability to explain their needs, and the development team’s ability to understand those needs, gather all the necessary information, design the appropriate set of solutions, develop said solutions, ensure their quality, and implement them fast.

Agile Case Study Examples

1. moving towards agile: managing loxon solutions.

Following is an Agile case study in banking:

Loxon Solutions, a Hungarian technology startup in the banking software industry, faced several challenges in its journey towards becoming an agile organization. As the company experienced rapid growth, it struggled with its hiring strategy, organizational development, and successful implementation of agile practices. 

How was it solved:

Loxon Solutions implemented a structured recruitment process with targeted job postings and rigorous interviews to attract skilled candidates. They restructured the company into cross-functional teams, promoting better collaboration. Agile management training and coaching were provided to all employees, with online courses playing a crucial role. Agile teams with trained Scrum Masters and Product Owners were established, and agile ceremonies like daily stand-ups were introduced to enhance collaboration and transparency.

2. Contributions of Entrepreneurial Orientation in the Use of Agile Methods in Project Management

This Agile project management case study aims to analyze the degree of contribution of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) in the use of agile methods (AM) in project management. The study focuses on understanding how EO influences the adoption and effectiveness of agile methods within organizations. Through a detailed case study, we explore the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and Agile methods, shedding light on the impact of entrepreneurial behaviors on project management practices.

A technology consulting firm faced multiple challenges in project management efficiency and responsiveness to changing client requirements. This specific problem was identified because of the limited use of Agile methods in project management, which hindered the company's ability to adapt quickly and deliver optimal outcomes.

Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) is a multidimensional construct that describes the extent to which an organization engages in entrepreneurial behaviors. The technology firm acknowledged the significance of entrepreneurial orientation in promoting agility and innovation in project management. 

The five dimensions of Entreprenurial orientation were applied across the organization.

  • Cultivating Innovativeness: The technology consulting firm encouraged a culture of innovativeness and proactiveness, urging project teams to think creatively, identify opportunities, and take proactive measures. 
  • Proactiveness: Employees were empowered to generate new ideas, challenge traditional approaches, and explore alternative solutions to project challenges. This helped them to stay ahead of the competition and to deliver the best possible results for their customers.
  • Encouraging Risk-Taking: The organization promoted a supportive environment that encouraged calculated risk-taking and autonomy among project teams. Employees were given the freedom to make decisions and take ownership of their projects, fostering a sense of responsibility and accountability.
  • Autonomy: Agile teams were given the autonomy to make decisions and take risks. This helped them to be more innovative and to deliver better results.
  • Nurturing Competitive Aggressiveness: The technology firm instilled a competitive aggressiveness in project teams, motivating them to strive for excellence and deliver superior results.

3. Improving Team Performance and Engagement

How do you ensure your team performs efficiently without compromising on quality? Agile is a way of working that focuses on value to the customer and continuous improvement. Integrating Agile in your work will not only make the team efficient but will also ensure quality work. Below is a case study that finds how agile practices can help teams perform better.

The problem addressed in this case study is the need to understand the relationship between the Agile way of working and improving team performance and engagement. We see that teams often face challenges in their daily work. It could be a slow turnover due to bad time management, compromised quality due to lack of resources, or in general lack of collaboration. In the case study below, we will understand how adopting agile practices makes teams work collaboratively, improve quality and have a customer-focused approach to work.

How it was Solved:

A number of factors mediated the relationship between agile working and team performance and engagement. 

  • Create a culture of trust and transparency. Agile teams need to be able to trust each other and share information openly. This will help to create a sense of collaboration and ownership. This in turn can lead to increased performance and engagement. 
  • Foster communication and collaboration. Effective communication within the team and with stakeholders helps everyone be on the same page.
  • Empower team members. Agile teams need to be empowered to make decisions and to take risks. 
  • Provide regular feedback. Team members need to receive regular feedback on their performance. This helps them to identify areas where they need improvement. 
  • Celebrate successes. By celebrating successes, both big and small, team members are motivated. This in turn creates a positive work environment. 
  • Provide training and development opportunities. help the team to stay up to date on the latest trends and to improve their skills. 
  • Encourage continuous improvement: Promoting a culture of continuous improvement helps the team to stay ahead of the competition and to deliver better results for their customers. 

It was concluded that agile ways of working can have a positive impact on employee engagement and team performance. Teams that used agile methods were more likely to report high levels of performance and engagement.

  • Agile Project Management Tools: The company implemented Agile project management tools and platforms to facilitate communication, collaboration, and transparency. These tools enabled real-time tracking of project progress, backlog management, and seamless coordination among team members.

9. Agile and Generic Work Values of British vs Indian IT Workers

Problem: 

In this Agile transformation case study, the problem identified is the lack of effective communication and alignment within an IT firm unit during the transformation towards an agile work culture. The employees from different cultural backgrounds had different perceptions and understanding of what it means to be agile, leading to clashes in behaviors and limited team communication. This situation undermined morale, trust, and the sense of working well together.

The study suggests that the cultural background of IT employees and managers, influenced by different national values and norms, can impact the adoption and interpretation of agile work values.

  • Leadership: Leaders role-modeled the full agile mindset, along with cross-cultural skills. They demonstrated teamwork, justice, equality, transparency, end-user orientation, helpful leadership, and effective communication. 
  • Culture: Managers recognized and appreciated the cultural diversity within the organization. Cultural awareness and sensitivity training were provided to help employees and managers understand and appreciate the diverse cultural backgrounds within the organization.
  • Agile values: The importance of agile work values was emphasized, including shared responsibility, continuous learning and improvement, self-organizing teamwork, fast fact-based decision-making, empowered employees, and embracing change. Managers actively promoted and reinforced these values in their leading and coaching efforts to cultivate an agile mindset among employees.
  • Transformation: A shift was made from a centralized accountability model to a culture of shared responsibility. Participation in planning work projects was encouraged, and employees were empowered to choose their own tasks within the context of the team's objectives.
  • Roadmap: An agile transformation roadmap was developed and implemented, covering specific actions and milestones to accelerate the adoption of agile ways of working. 
  • Senior management received necessary support, training, and additional management consultancy to drive the agile transformation effectively.

How to write effective case studies for your software product

How to write effective case studies for your software product

Case studies are one of the best ways to communicate product value to potential customers.

A well-done case study:

  • Creates trust (recommendations from third parties are always more reliable than what the company itself claims)
  • Provides social proof —in a situation where a potential customer isn’t sure what to do, they assume that others around them have more knowledge
  • Gives more information about the product—you can’t fit everything onto your features page
  • Creates a sense of “I can relate to this”, if the case study is for a company in the same space
  • Allows you to target your marketing better towards much narrower customer groups, meaning a much more personalized experience

However, good case studies take time and commitment. You can’t just put together a case study based on any customer, in any format, and at any time.

Here are some tips for effective case studies that you can use for targeting, marketing communications, customer success, search optimization, and more.

Create niche studies for separate target groups

Even if your business has one specific main target group, it still probably has different verticals of customers under it. At the very least, you definitely have various strong use cases for your product.

For example—if your main target group is SMBs, you still have:

  • SMBs that do retail
  • SMBs that do online sales
  • SMBs that do software

…and so on.

The effectiveness of case studies comes largely from the relatability aspect of them.

Imagine doing research for a software solution you need. If you immediately see a case study for another company with a use case nearly identical to yours, you will:

  • Get a lot of extra information without having to reach out to the company
  • Be immediately assured that the product is suitable for your specific use case

And, on the flip side, if you’re doing research and the available case studies are wildly different from what you need, it might be a red flag for you.

This means that the most effective case studies are the ones that are the most heavily tailored for your most desired target group(s).

There’s no point in doing a case study for edge case customers who you aren’t actively pursuing.

Try to figure out all the different main use cases that exist within your ideal customer target group, and build case studies for all (or most) of them.

This way, you can build the most in-depth rapport with your ideal customers. It’s great ammo for effective success/sales processes, and saves you time on tailoring communication on the spot.

Choose your case study candidates wisely

Besides making sure you have a good range of different case studies, it’s also important to be picky about who the selected ones are.

You obviously value all of your customers. However, some of them are definitely more useful than others when it comes to communicating your value.

After you have picked the target groups you’d like case studies for, make sure you pick customers who:

  • Use the product often and have used it recently. This guarantees that they’re up to date with any new features you have, the current design, recent changes, etc. Having an outdated opinion isn’t very useful.
  • Have seen solid results from using your product. Oftentimes, the customers who have been most impressed with your product will let you know about it by reaching out. Make a list of these people as soon as you communicate with them, for easy reaching out later.
  • Are truly enthusiastic about your product—again, these people usually reach out and express their joy.
  • Are at least relatively well-known in their space (if possible).

Whereas most users are efficient at being your customers, they might not be efficient at communicating your product value to the outside world.

Pick and choose the people who are most qualified, excited, able, and constructive, and you’ll be able to create the most informative and valuable case studies.

Focus on value first

Case studies communicate nothing if the only message is “yes, this product is “good””.

It’s important that your case studies focus on the value your product has offered a customer—and therefore can offer to others, too.

For example, Canny’s case studies consist of three parts—challenge, solution, and results.

Here’s what that looks like in the case study for ReadMe , one of our customers:

The challenge describes what the company was struggling with before they chose Canny.

software development a case study

The solution explains how Canny solved the issue they were having before.

software development a case study

The results highlight the real value the customer has seen from using Canny.

Case studies should be well structured

The most important thing here is, again, focusing on value. Value is what customers are signing up for and handing their money over to you for.

The more you can emphasize that in your case studies, the better. Ideally, you would be able to show clear ROI with actual numbers—e.g “increased conversions by x”.

It’s a simple principle of social proof—“If another company like mine is getting value from this product, so can I”.

Pay attention to formatting and design

Case studies are an excellent source of information, but they need to be easy to digest.

With the abundance of information already available for any product out there, nobody has time to read through pages of text walls in addition.

Try to format your studies in an easy-to-consume way:

  • As with any piece of content, use headings and bulleted lists to break up text
  • The three-step solution we mentioned above is a good start for sectioning your proof
  • Use as many easy-to-understand visuals as possible

A few additional tips

Since case studies are mostly meant for creating a feeling of recognition, add the company’s “profile” in an easy to spot place.

This way, people browsing the studies will know if they’re in a similar position as the highlighted company, even if they haven’t heard of it before.

Make browsing case studies easy

Make the most important things stand out for quick browsing. If someone is just glancing over the page, they’ll be drawn to the highlights of the case study.

This includes strong statements, direct quotes that make a point, and any other value “evidence” one-liners straight from the customer.

Highlight the important parts of your case studies

Add plenty of CTA’s—your case study pages should still be built for conversion.

Make sure to add plenty of CTA's to your case studies

Give your potential customers easy access to start a trial or use the product if they decide to.

Spend some time and effort on creating impactful case studies

As much as you would like to get some social proof out there ASAP, waiting a little and putting effort into case studies is worth it.

Mediocre studies on not-so-ideal customers aren’t going to be detailed or useful enough, nor provide the proof of value you’re looking for.

Focus on planning for and discussing your target audiences, providing a variety of cases, and optimizing design and copy.

You’ll have proof of value out there for everyone to see, and save some time for yourself and your potential customers.

Computer-aided software engineering (CASE) is the implementation of computer-facilitated tools and methods in software development. CASE is used to ensure high-quality and defect-free software. CASE ensures a check-pointed and disciplined approach and helps designers, developers, testers, managers, and others to see the project milestones during development. 

CASE can also help as a warehouse for documents related to projects, like business plans, requirements, and design specifications. One of the major advantages of using CASE is the delivery of the final product, which is more likely to meet real-world requirements as it ensures that customers remain part of the process. 

CASE illustrates a wide set of labor-saving tools that are used in software development. It generates a framework for organizing projects and to be helpful in enhancing productivity. There was more interest in the concept of CASE tools years ago, but less so today, as the tools have morphed into different functions, often in reaction to software developer needs. The concept of CASE also received a heavy dose of criticism after its release. 

What is CASE Tools?

The essential idea of CASE tools is that in-built programs can help to analyze developing systems in order to enhance quality and provide better outcomes. Throughout the 1990, CASE tool became part of the software lexicon, and big companies like IBM were using these kinds of tools to help create software. 

Various tools are incorporated in CASE and are called CASE tools, which are used to support different stages and milestones in a software development life cycle. 

Types of CASE Tools:

  • Diagramming Tools:  It helps in diagrammatic and graphical representations of the data and system processes. It represents system elements, control flow and data flow among different software components and system structures in a pictorial form. For example, Flow Chart Maker tool for making state-of-the-art flowcharts.  
  • Computer Display and Report Generators:  These help in understanding the data requirements and the relationships involved. 
  • (i) Accept 360, Accompa, CaseComplete for requirement analysis. 
  • (ii) Visible Analyst for total analysis.   
  • Central Repository:  It provides a single point of storage for data diagrams, reports, and documents related to project management.
  • Documentation Generators:  It helps in generating user and technical documentation as per standards. It creates documents for technical users and end users.  For example, Doxygen, DrExplain, Adobe RoboHelp for documentation.  
  • Code Generators:  It aids in the auto-generation of code, including definitions, with the help of designs, documents, and diagrams.
  • Tools for Requirement Management: It makes gathering, evaluating, and managing software needs easier.
  • Tools for Analysis and Design : It offers instruments for modelling system architecture and behaviour, which helps throughout the analysis and design stages of software development.
  • Tools for Database Management: It facilitates database construction, design, and administration.
  • Tools for Documentation: It makes the process of creating, organizing, and maintaining project documentation easier.

Advantages of the CASE approach: 

  • Improved Documentation: Comprehensive documentation creation and maintenance is made easier by CASE tools. Since automatically generated documentation is usually more accurate and up to date, there are fewer opportunities for errors and misunderstandings brought on by out-of-current material.
  • Reusing Components: Reusable component creation and maintenance are frequently facilitated by CASE tools. This encourages a development approach that is modular and component-based, enabling teams to shorten development times and reuse tested solutions.
  • Quicker Cycles of Development: Development cycles take less time when certain jobs, such testing and code generation, are automated. This may result in software solutions being delivered more quickly, meeting deadlines and keeping up with changing business requirements.
  • Improved Results : Code generation, documentation, and testing are just a few of the time-consuming, repetitive operations that CASE tools perform. Due to this automation, engineers are able to concentrate on more intricate and imaginative facets of software development, which boosts output.
  • Achieving uniformity and standardization:  Coding conventions, documentation formats and design patterns are just a few of the areas of software development where CASE tools enforce uniformity and standards. This guarantees consistent and maintainable software development.

Disadvantages of the CASE approach: 

  • Cost: Using a case tool is very costly. Most firms engaged in software development on a small scale do not invest in CASE tools because they think that the benefit of CASE is justifiable only in the development of large systems.
  • Learning Curve: In most cases, programmers’ productivity may fall in the initial phase of implementation, because users need time to learn the technology. Many consultants offer training and on-site services that can be important to accelerate the learning curve and to the development and use of the CASE tools.
  • Tool Mix: It is important to build an appropriate selection tool mix to urge cost advantage CASE integration and data integration across all platforms is extremely important.

Conclusion:

In today’s software development world, computer-aided software engineering is a vital tool that enables teams to produce high-quality software quickly and cooperatively. CASE tools will probably become more and more essential as technology develops in order to satisfy the demands of complicated software development projects.

DevOps Infinity Loop

What is software development?

Software development refers to the design, documentation, programming, testing, and ongoing maintenance of a software deliverable. The combination of these steps are used to create a workflow pipeline, a sequence of steps that when followed produce high-quality software deliverables. This pipeline is known as the software development lifecycle.

While there are many nuances, the software development lifecycle generally includes common elements, as noted below.

Steps in the software development lifecycle

Projects are envisioned, designed, and prioritized. A methodology such as agile helps to guide the work process for the project. Practices like DevOps guide practices during development and operations. Confluence is a great tool to develop product research documents and share design files during this stage.

Simple workflow

Stakeholders are identified, budgets set, and infrastructure requisitioned. Design documents from the concept phase are broken down into actionable tasks. Jira and Trello  manage, track, and organize these task lists.

Save code

Build and Test

Development teams work to build production-ready software that meets requirements and feedback. CI/CD pipelines ensure an efficient developer experience. Bitbucket offers collaborative code review tools and CI/CD pipelines  that plugin to the code review process.

Code release

With code written, tested, and merged, it’s time to ship it. Bitbucket's CI/CD pipelines make deployments as easy as clicking a button. The live production code will need a place to live. Consider using cloud hosting provided by Amazon AWS, Google Cloud Platform, or Microsoft Azure.

gears

Support and maintenance are required for active software projects. Jira Service Management  provides powerful tools to capture, triage, and resolve customer support requests.

error

Incident management is when Development and Operations respond to unplanned events and restore services using reliable methods for prioritizing incidents and getting to resolution fast.

Practices throughout the software development lifecycle

ci/cd

Continuous feedback

Teams should evaluate each release and generate reports to improve future releases, ask for customers to give input about the value and impact of product features, and share business-related outcomes with stakeholders. By gathering continuous feedback, teams can improve their processes, and increase value to customers.

Security

As software applications grow in complexity and scale, traditional Q&A and security that is “bolted on” at the end of a release cycle are no longer enough to keep software safe. Instead, testing should be included throughout the software development lifecycle in order to minimize bugs in software code.

Key features of effective software development

Agile is an iterative approach to project management and software development that helps teams deliver value to their customers faster and with fewer headaches. Agile methodologies are immensely popular in the software industry since they empower teams to be inherently flexible, well-organized, and capable of responding to change.

DevOps is a set of practices , tools , and a cultural philosophy that automate and integrate the processes between software development and IT teams. It emphasizes team empowerment, cross-team communication and collaboration, and technology automation.

Continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD)

Continuous integration is the practice of automating the integration of code changes into a software project. It allows developers to frequently merge code changes into a central repository where builds and tests are executed.

Continuous delivery expands upon continuous integration by automatically deploying code changes to a testing/production environment. It follows a continuous delivery pipeline , where automated builds, tests, and deployments are orchestrated as one release workflow.

Microservices

A microservices architecture , also simply known as “microservices”, is an approach to building an application as a series of independently deployable services that are decentralized and autonomously developed. These services are loosely coupled, independently deployable, and easily maintainable.

With a microservices architecture, developers can organize in smaller teams specializing in different services, with different stacks and decoupled deployments.

A microservices architecture, also simply known as “microservices”, is an approach to building an application as a series of independently deployable services that are decentralized and autonomously developed. These services are loosely coupled, independently deployable, and easily maintainable.

Software development tools

Software development tools can help with every step of the software development lifecycle including guiding agile and DevOps practices, code management, enabling automation through CI/CD, incident response, testing, and more.

Jira Software Logo

Jira is the #1 software development tool used by agile teams. Jira is a project management tool for agile teams to plan, track, and ship world-class software with confidence.

Bitbucket logo

Bitbucket is not only Git code management. Bitbucket gives teams one place to plan projects, collaborate on code, test, and deploy.

Compass Logo

Compass is a developer experience platform that helps you navigate your distributed architecture, bringing disconnected information about engineering output and the teams collaborating on them together in a central, searchable location.

Atlassian Open DevOps

Teams have everything they need to develop and operate software in Open DevOps, right out of the box. Open DevOps starts with Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and Opsgenie. Teams can easily add the tools they want, such as GitHub or GitLab, with a single click.

What Is a Full-Stack Developer? A Guide to Full-Stack Development

A little figure standing in front of large computer screens

If you’re bored in your current development role, transitioning into a full-stack development job might be the best thing you could do for your career.

According to LinkedIn’s 2020 Emerging Jobs Report, full-stack developer jobs are in 4th place on the list of growing jobs. Research from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) shows a similar trajectory, as they estimate that web development and design jobs will increase by 8%  by 2029.

But what is a full-stack developer, what do they do, and how do you become one? Read on, and we’ll tell you everything you need to know about being a full-stack developer.

Let’s dive in!

What Does “Full-Stack” Mean?

Before becoming a full-stack developer, you need to understand the term “full-stack.” Developers working in a “full-stack” capacity work on both frontend and backend development projects.

Frontend development (or client-side development) projects include anything that users see. It includes websites and web applications that customers interact with (like the interface of an ecommerce web application).

Backend development (or server-side development) projects include any behind-the-scenes part of a website or web app. Specifically, backend development focuses on three things:

  • The server:  The computer that runs the backend of the website
  • The database:  The space where the website stores its data
  • Application:  The tool that communicates with the server and database

As full-stack developers work on both frontend and backend projects, they need to use both frontend and backend programming languages  and tools in their work.

That includes languages like HTML , JavaScript , and CSS for frontend development and programming languages like Java, Python , and Ruby for backend development.

But aside from coding, what do full-stack developers do on a day-to-day basis?

What Does a Full-Stack Developer Do?

The everyday responsibilities you can expect as a full-stack developer will differ based on the company you work for, your industry, and your expertise. All these factors will influence the sort of work your employer gives you.

However, if you look at job postings for full-stack developers, you’ll notice that many positions share ten typical responsibilities. These include:

  • Designing the architecture of new websites and web-based programs.
  • Developing application programming interfaces (APIs). APIs are software intermediaries that help applications communicate with each other.
  • Working with users to understand their technology needs when designing new websites or programs.
  • Developing updates to enhance the usability and capabilities of the backend of a website.
  • Maintaining the frontend of a website to make sure it works.
  • Optimizing websites to make sure they’re mobile-friendly.
  • Working with graphic designers to develop attractive and functional websites.
  • Creating servers and databases for websites.
  • Overseeing a project through each phase of the systems development life cycle (SDLC).
  • Working with other professionals (including DevOps engineers , cybersecurity experts, graphic designers, and other web developers).

Naturally, as full-stack developers have an extensive range of responsibilities at work, they’re compensated reasonably well.

Let’s cover the average full-stack developer salary next.

How Much Do Full-Stack Developers Make?

Let’s look at some data for full-time positions in the U.S. specifically.

According to Glassdoor, the average full-stack developer earns $98,000 annually, and most developers earn between $63,000–$156,000 . Glassdoor’s average salary figure is based on reports from 3,372 salaries.

According to Payscale, the average base salary of a full-stack developer is $75,057, and many developers earn between $48,000–$113,000  annually.

According to Indeed, the average full-stack developer earns $104,396 annually . Their data is based on reports from 5,000 salaries.

Finally, according to Talent.com, the median full-stack development salary is $107,434, and the range is between $87,750–$144,754 annually. Talent.com’s average salary figure is based on 10,000 salaries.

There’s an extensive range of average salaries between these websites.

This deviation is due to several factors, including education, experience, job responsibilities, the company (and its profitability), the location of the job, and whether the position includes benefits.

So, how does the salary of a full-stack developer compare to other jobs?

According to our calculations, the average full-time WordPress developer salary in the U.S. is $63,348, the average web developer earns between $60,000–$75,000 , and the average PHP developer earns $63,000 (in a junior role) and $94,000 (in a senior position) .

That means that full-stack developers earn more — however, full-stack developers need to master a broader range of tools and technologies than other developers.

Let’s cover some of those tools now.

What Skills Do You Need to Become a Full-Stack Developer?

If you want to become a successful full-stack developer, there are ten frontend and backend development skills and abilities that you should build. These include:

1. The Ability to Code in Frontend Languages

As full-stack developers frequently work on the frontend of websites, you’ll need to master frontend development languages like:

Developers use Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to create the structure of websites. You’ll use HTML when you create web pages with distinct headings, tables, lists, paragraph boxes, and images.

Developers use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to create the stylistic parts of the website’s user interface.

As a full-stack developer, you’ll use CSS to add stylistic elements (like colors and fonts) and adjust the website for mobile and tablet devices.

Developers use Javascript to create the elements of a webpage that interacts with a user.

As a full-stack developer, you’ll use Javascript to build the functional parts and draw together elements from the frontend and backend.

For example, you might use Javascript when creating buttons for users to click.

2. Expertise in Frontend Frameworks and Libraries

During frontend development projects, full-stack developers use a range of frameworks and tools to work quickly. Naturally, it would help if you learned some of these frameworks and tools, including:

Bootstrap is an extensive code framework that offers HTML, CSS, and Javascript code. Bootstrap is currently the world’s most popular frontend framework, so it’s an excellent tool for your arsenal.

Bootstrap website homepage

jQuery and React

jQuery and React are both frameworks that developers use for JavaScript projects.

Angular is a platform and framework developers use to build websites and web-based applications. Angular is a very new tool, as Google’s Angular team only released it in 2016.

Angular is an excellent choice for developers who need to design a website or web app that works consistently across computers, phones, and tablets.

Angular website homepage

3. The Ability to Code in Backend Languages

As full-stack developers also work with the backend of websites, you’ll need to master backend development languages like:

Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) is an all-purpose scripting language used for web development.

PHP was first released in 1995 and has been reasonably popular ever since, as 79.1%  of all websites with known languages use it. People often compare PHP to Angular  (though Angular is for frontend development).

Python is a programming language that dates back to 1991. Python is particularly useful when working with databases or building a web app.

Java is an object-oriented programming (OOP) language based around objects. It was first released in 1995, and 40.2%  of software developers now use it.

Ruby is another all-purpose programming language that full-stack developers use. Ruby is an open-source language that’s very easy to pick up. 5% of all websites with a known server-side programming language use Ruby.

4. Expertise in Backend Frameworks and Libraries

Like with frontend development, full-stack developers use a range of frameworks and tools to work on backend projects quickly.

Naturally, you’ll need to learn some of these tools and frameworks, including:

The Laravel Framework

The Laravel framework is a PHP framework that gives developers access to an extensive library of pre-written code. The Laravel framework is open-source and follows the MVC architectural pattern (MVC stands for “Model, View, Controller”).

Laravel framework on Github

Spring is an open-source framework that developers use to build projects with Java quickly.

Spring uses aspect-oriented programming (AOP). AOP is a programming paradigm that uses cross-cutting to create a flexible program that adjusts to changes quickly.

Django is a scalable, secure, and fast framework developers use to build projects with Python. Django is perfect for website-building, as it can help you create any website and works with most client-side frameworks.

5. Database Skills

During backend development projects, full-stack developers need to build and manage databases. Naturally, you’ll need to learn to use some of the most popular database tools, including:

MySQL is a free and open-source database system developers use to store web databases.

It’s a relational database management system that orders data into tables. MySQL is also part of the LAMP software stack (which we’ll cover in the next section).

MySQL website homepage

Oracle is a database management system popular for large projects and complicated databases. Oracle also uses a relational database approach, though Oracle designed its system to function specifically with complex databases.

If you want to get the most from MySQL and Oracle, you’ll also need to learn to use structured query language (SQL). SQL will help you communicate with the tools to update and retrieve data quickly.

MongoDB is a database tool developers use for web apps. Unlike Oracle and MySQL, MongoDB doesn’t use SQL, so you won’t need to learn how to use SQL to use MongoDB.

6. Expertise in Popular Stacks

As a full-stack developer, you’ll need to learn to use popular tech stacks.

A tech stack is a collection of software used to produce web applications, projects, and websites. While the stacks you use will depend on your employer and team, you should familiarize yourself with popular stacks before becoming a full-stack developer.

Some of these popular stacks include:

  • The LAMP stack :  Includes Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP
  • The MEAN stack : Includes MongoDB, Express.js , Angular.js, and Node.js
  • The MERN stack:  Includes MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js
  • The SERN stack : Includes SQL, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js
  • The Django stack:  Includes Django, Python, and MySQL
  • The Ruby on Rails stack:  Includes Ruby, SQLite, and Rails

7. An Understanding of DevOps

Depending on your organization, you may need to work with DevOps engineers in your full-stack developer role. DevOps engineers apply a combination of tools, practices, and ideas to projects to help them move from concept to release quickly.

Naturally, you should understand the DevOps framework if you need to take a DevOps approach.

The DevOps approach uses a modified version of the SDLC that guides developers through building and releasing updates and projects incrementally (DevOps engineers refer to this as “Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery” or CI/CD).

DevOps life cycle graphic

Once you understand what DevOps is, you’ll want to learn how to get the most from the approach. That means mastering tools like:

  • Atlassian Bamboo and Jenkins,  which automate repetitive tasks
  • Puppet and Chef, which help DevOps engineers configure different elements of systems so that they’re consistent
  • Nagios and Raygun, which allow developers to track a project’s performance after deployment
  • Docker and Kubernetes,  which help developers package code and deploy it in containers

8. An Understanding of UX Design Principles

As full-stack developers build many websites, you’ll need to learn how to design a great website using User Experience (UX) Design principles. These principles include:

  • Focus on the user
  • Use consistency
  • Structure your website with hierarchy (i.e., put the essential elements first)
  • Design your website for mobile and desktop devices
  • Give the user control over their experience on the website
  • Make your website accessible for all users (i.e., make sure people who are blind, deaf, and colorblind can interact with your website)
  • Test the usability of your website before you release it

9. Experience With Developer Tools

If you have a development background, you may already know how to use essential developer tools like BitBucket, GitHub, and Git. However, as you’ll do a lot of web development as a full-stack developer, you should also learn to use web development tools  like:

  • Invision Studio

You may also need to learn how to use WordPress development tools like DevKinsta . DevKinsta is a free suite of tools that will help you build, develop, and test WordPress websites.

Over 10,000 professionals currently use DevKinsta, including web designers, freelancers, and developers.

DevKinsta website homepage

10. Great Soft Skills

Finally, any developer needs fantastic soft skills. While full-stack development is a technical job, you need to work with colleagues and users to deliver each project.

Naturally, you will need:

  • Excellent active listening skills: To help you understand other people’s perspectives
  • Excellent teamwork skills:  To help you work with others
  • The ability to take constructive feedback: You’ll need to adjust your work based on feedback from colleagues and users
  • The ability to mentor other developers:  Your employer may expect you to lend your expertise to junior developers who are still building their skills
  • Time management skills:  You may need to juggle multiple projects simultaneously

So, assuming you have all of 10 of the skills we’ve discussed, why should you apply them to full-stack development?

Why Become a Full-Stack Developer?

As most full-stack developers earn $75,000+ a year, full-stack development is a lucrative career. But it also offers other benefits.

As a full-stack developer, you’ll bridge the disconnect between frontend and backend development. That will give you a unique approach to web development, as you’ll work on every aspect of a project (rather than just a tiny part).

Many developers find this part of the role gratifying as you take a project from concept to release.

Full-stack development is also an excellent career for professionals who like flexing different muscles at work. Full-stack developers use numerous tools and skills and work on a diverse range of projects — meaning your work will be highly engaging.

As you’ll learn many skills as a full-stack developer, you’ll also become a great asset to your employer. Naturally, if you’re interested in progressing into a management role, full-stack development could be the perfect stepping stone (depending on your company).

So, how do you start down the full-stack path?

How to Become a Full-Stack Developer

As you’ll need strong software development skills to succeed in a full-stack developer role, most full-stack developers transition into the position after working in another software development job.

If you haven’t worked as a developer before, you may want to consider pursuing a web developer, java developer , software engineer, frontend developer , or backend developer job first.

Once you have some experience, you can transition into a full-stack role with these steps:

Step 1: Master the Basics

First, you’ll need to improve your programming skills. Although you don’t need to be an expert in every language, we recommend improving your skills in:

There are many resources you can use to build your development skills. For example, you could use resources like The Odin Project , which will teach you the basics of full-stack development and how to develop with Ruby on Rails and Javascript.

The Odin Project website homepage

As WordPress now powers 40%  of all websites on the internet, you should also learn how to use WordPress to manage a website, develop a theme, and use plugins.

Although you could learn through trial-and-error, the best way to learn WordPress is through an online course.

If you haven’t used PHP before, you should familiarize yourself with it as you learn WordPress.

As WordPress is primarily built on PHP, you may need PHP for backend development. Taking a course is a great way to learn PHP . You can also  install PHP , and build your skills over time.

Step 2: Enhance Your Knowledge

Once you’ve mastered the basics, you should prepare for your new full-stack development role by enhancing your knowledge and building your skills. There are many ways to do this, including:

  • Identifying gaps in your knowledge and filling them through practice or tutorials
  • Asking a full-stack developer at your workplace to mentor you and give you feedback on your preparedness for the job
  • Upskilling through a coding boot camp or online certification, like LinkedIn’s Full-Stack Web Developer Learning Course or IBM’s Full-Stack Cloud Developer Professional Certificate .

Screenshot of LinkedIn Learning's full-stack developer course

You should also join the online full-stack development community through websites like StackOverFlow and subreddits like r/fullstack. Joining the community will help you learn by watching others, as you can see how they solve problems.

r/fullstack subreddit page where developers talk online

Step 3: Create a Portfolio and Apply For Jobs

Next, you should build a digital portfolio to show your full-stack development skills. Ideally, your portfolio should document two to four of your web development projects.

The best portfolios are pretty straightforward, as they include:

  • A link to each website or project
  • A detailed explanation of the tools and processes you used for each project
  • Any reflections you have on the process (i.e., what worked well, any challenges you faced, what you learned from it)

Once you’ve finished your portfolio, add it to your resume and start applying for full-stack jobs. You can find full-stack positions on websites like:

Tips to Help You Land a Job

Searching for a full-stack development job when you’re still entering the field can be daunting. Here are some tips to help you land the perfect role:

  • Don’t worry about mastering every tool or language, and prioritize the ones that will serve you best in the job you want
  • Consider adopting a niche based on your skills (for example, brand yourself as a full-stack WordPress developer).
  • Attend full-stack conferences to network and find a mentor
  • Speak to your manager about taking on more full-stack developer responsibilities in your current job if possible, as this will help you transition into a full-stack role easier
  • Develop your portfolio website from scratch to show off your skills

If you’re a developer looking for a challenge, transitioning into a full-stack development job could be an excellent move for your career.

Full-stack development positions are demanding but rewarding as you get to take a project and build it from the ground up.

Becoming a developer is also a great long-term career move, as the BLS estimates that software development jobs will grow by 22%  from 2019–2029.

To succeed as a developer, you’ll need to master programming languages like HTML, CSS, Javascript, Python, Java, and Ruby. You’ll also need to learn to use frameworks like Spring, Laravel, Bootstrap, and web development tools like DevKinsta.

EASE '24: Proceedings of the 28th International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering

ACM Digital Library

Software development is essentially a collaborative, socio-technical endeavor where the interplay between stakeholders and technical elements is integral. This synergy becomes particularly crucial in the context of geographically dispersed teams, a practice that is becoming more prevalent. Despite the ubiquity of this nature, the current body of research in Global Software Development (GSD) encounters limitations, rendering the attained results less accessible for practical implementation by industry professionals. Moreover, the role of social debt, the additional cost derived by adopting socio-technical anti-patterns, in GSD still needs to be deepened. This Ph.D. research project aims to surmount these challenges by constructing a robust theoretical foundation for effectively managing socio-technical aspects—particularly in the form of factors related to social debt—in software development, with a keen focus on their correlation with cultural differences within software teams. The framework systematically captures and examines cultural differences, investigating their ramifications on various facets of software development while exploring practical strategies employed by practitioners to navigate these influences. Furthermore, the project aspires to make substantial contributions to the professional software development realm by translating research findings into tangible tools for practitioners. This framework is designed not only for immediate application but also to facilitate project success through heightened cultural awareness and adaptability. Ultimately, it strives to enhance the well-being of developers working in inclusive and culturally diverse environments.

Understanding on-premise software and cloud computing

Understanding On-Premise Software

On-premise software refers to applications and programs that are installed and run on a company’s own servers and infrastructure. Here, the company is responsible for the entire setup, management, and maintenance of the software and hardware.

Advantages of On-Premise Software

  • Control and Customization : Companies have complete control over their software environment, allowing for extensive customization to meet specific business needs.
  • Security : Since data is stored on local servers, it can be protected by internal security measures, reducing reliance on external providers.
  • Compliance : On-premise solutions can be beneficial for businesses with strict regulatory requirements, as they offer greater control over data handling and storage.

Disadvantages of On-Premise Software

  • High Initial Costs : The upfront investment for hardware, software licenses, and setup can be significant.
  • Maintenance and Upgrades : Companies are responsible for ongoing maintenance, updates, and security patches, which require dedicated IT resources.
  • Scalability Limitations : Scaling on-premise infrastructure can be challenging and costly, requiring additional hardware and resources .

Understanding Cloud Computing

Cloud computing involves delivering computing services – such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics – over the internet (“the cloud”). Cloud providers host and manage the infrastructure, allowing businesses to access resources on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Advantages of Cloud Computing

  • Cost Efficiency : Cloud computing eliminates the need for significant upfront investments in hardware and software. Instead, companies pay for what they use.
  • Scalability and Flexibility : Cloud services can be easily scaled up or down based on demand, providing flexibility to businesses.
  • Accessibility and Collaboration : Cloud-based applications can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection, facilitating remote work and collaboration.

Tethys Logo: Environmental Effects of Wind and Marine Renewable Energy

Impact of Wave Energy Converters and Port Layout on Coastal Dynamics: Case Study of Astara Port

In the face of depleting fossil energy and the imperative of sustainable development, there is a compelling drive towards advancing renewable energies. In this context, sustainable and predictable alternatives, like marine energy, gain prominence. Marine energy presents a cleaner option devoid of the adverse effects associated with fossil fuels, playing a crucial role in environmental sustainability by safeguarding coastlines against erosion. This study focuses on Astara Port in the Caspian Sea, exploring the utilization of wave energy converters (WECs). The originality of this study’s research lies in exploring WECs’ dual role in energy generation and coastal protection. Using MIKE21 software simulations, the impact of number, location, arrangement, and orientation of WECs across various scenarios was investigated, including two WEC number scenarios (11 and 13), three structural placement scenarios (north, front, and south of the port), two structural arrangement scenarios (linear and staggered), two port layout scenarios (original layout and modified layout), and two orientation scenarios for the structures (facing north-east, which is the dominant wave direction, and facing southeast). The results show a remarkable decrease in the significant wave height behind WECs, notably with 13 staggered devices facing dominant waves (from northeast), reducing the significant wave height Hs by 23–25%. This setup also shows the highest wave height reduction, notably 36.26% during a storm event. However, linear WEC setup offers more extensive coastline protection, covering 47.88% of the model boundary during storms. Furthermore, the 11 staggered WECs facing southeast (SE) arrangement had the lowest sediment accumulation at 0.0358 m over one year, showing effective sedimentation mitigation potential. Conversely, the 13 linear WECs facing northeast (NE) had the highest accumulation at 0.1231 m. Finally, the proposed port design redirects high-velocity flow away from the port entrance and removes rotatory flow, reducing sediment accumulation near the harbor entrance.

Hackathons started as software events nowadays are applied in many different branches and industries. Educational hackathons are held in schools, Higher Education Institutions, nonprofit organizations as an innovative problem- and action-based pedagogical method that prepare students for future carrier in innovative sphere. Focusing on learning outcomes, most educational hackathons are isolated from innovation process: developing the entrepreneurship among students is not the primary considered goal of educational hackathons. Despite several researches highlight that hackathons offer the possibility to faster development of new ideas or to transfer ideas from product development into a prototype, they also agree that transfer hackathon outcomes into marketable products cannot be done by hackathons. Other researches investigate connections between participation in hackathon and startups founding. The goal of our research is to evaluate the potential of educational hackathons in terms of developing entrepreneurship among students different areas including business informatics and to find factors that will improve entrepreneurial outcomes of educational hackathons. The paper reports a case study of educational healthcare hackathon hold by a non-profit organization for HEIs students in April 2023 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. As organizers, we present hackathon process description, target audience and lessons learned based on participant observation and their feedback. Case study results confirm that the outcomes of educational hackathons lie beyond learning outcomes and under certain conditions can become a driver for the development of technological entrepreneurship among students. We propose a set of recommendations based on which hackathons can be integrated in university startup studios as a continuous process of innovation creation. Applying this set of recommendations will improve the effectiveness of the educational hackathons results in the context of the development of student entrepreneurship, which will favorably affect the increase in the number of high-tech startups.
