Software Evolution


The process of developing a software product using software engineering principles and methods is referred to as Software Evolution. This includes the initial development of software and its maintenance and updates, till desired software product is developed, which satisfies the expected requirements.



Evolution starts from the requirement gathering process. After which developers create a prototype of the intended software and show it to the users to get their feedback at the early stage of the software product development. The users suggest changes, on which several consecutive updates and maintenance keep on changing too. This process changes to the original software, till the desired software is accomplished. Even after the user has the desired software in hand, the advancing technology and the changing requirements force the software product to change accordingly. Re-creating software from scratch and to go one-on-one with the requirement is not feasible. The only feasible and economical solution is to update the existing software so that it matches the latest requirements.

Facts about C

C was invented to write an operating system called UNIX.   C is a successor of B language which was introduced around the early 1970s.   The language was formalized in 1988 by the American National Standard   Institute (ANSI).   The UNIX OS was totally written in C. Today C is the most widely used and popular System Programming Language.   Most of the state-of-the-art software have been implemented using C.   Today's most popular Linux OS and RDBMS MySQL have been written in C.

What is java programming?

Java is a programming language that produces software for multiple platforms. When a programmer writes a Java application, the compiled code (known as byte code) runs on most operating systems (OS), including Windows, Linux and Mac OS. Java derives much of its syntax from the C and C++ programming languages. Java is Object oriented programming language. Java is a platform independent programming language. Java is use in most operating system and many application. Java provide JVM. That is call as java virtual   machine. That is java compiler. So that is java programming language.

What is Big Data?

Big data is the big amount of data in simple word. As one of the most “hyped” terms in the market today, there is no consensus as to how to define big data. The term is often used synonymously with related concepts such as Business Intelligence ( BI) and data mining. It is true that all three terms are about analyzing data and in many cases advanced analytics. But big data concept is different from the two others when data volumes, number of transactions and the number of data sources are so big and complex that they require special methods and technologies in order to draw insight out of data (for instance, traditional data warehouse solutions may fall short when dealing with big data). This also forms the basis for the most used definition of big data, the three V: Volume, Velocity, and Variety.  Volume: Large amounts of data, from datasets with sizes of terabytes to zettabyte.   Velocity: Large amounts of data from transactions with high refresh rate resu...
