Significance of Software Engineering Phases in the Development of a Software Application

Abstract

Software engineering is the extensive study of how to build a software product using software development life cycle stages, beginning with requirement analysis phase to the last phase of testing and maintenance. This approach in the development of software application ensures completion of the project within the stipulated period without compromising quality of the software with effective utilization of resources. The most important is to develop a quality product. Case studies make readers understand the concept in a more impartial and tactile manner; one can make use of this experience in real-life circumstances for providing solutions to the complex problems. The significance of this case study is to represent the authors' experience of developing software by using method of software engineering, understanding how to apply them to build an application. This chapter gives a holistic review of the development of an Android application titled Vaccination Management System (VMS) “Vacc-IT” as a comprehensive case study.
