Introducing Agility in Cloud Based Software Development through ASD

Abstract

Cloud based development is a challenging task for several software engineering projects, especially for those which need change along with reusability. The present scenario of cloud computing is allowing new professional models to use agile software development. The expected upcoming trend of computing is assumed to be cloud computing as it ensures a lot of payback like no principal outflow, speed of application deployment, shorter time to market, lower cost of operation, and change at any level, reusability and easier maintenance for the tenants. Until Adaptive Cloud Development Model is considered a fundamental capability, predictable demand cannot be delivered to cloud users. This paper extends the traditional agile process model named Adaptive Software Development (ASD) and integrates interaction with the cloud provider to facilitate acceptance of cloud computing. In this paper, Adaptive Cloud Development Model has been proposed. Using the agile based cloud computing proposed approach, development cost can be minimized and customer satisfaction and reusability can be improved.
