Rapid application development is another form of incremental model. It is a high speed adaptation of the linear sequential model in which fully functional system in a very short time (2-3 months). This model is only applicable in the projects where requirements are well understood and project scope is constrained. Because of this reason it [...]

Let’s now look at software engineering activities from a different perspective. Software development activities could be performed in a cyclic and that cycle is called software development loop. The major stages of software development loop are described below. Problem Definition: In this stage we determine what is the problem against which we are going to [...]

THE PARTS OF THE TABLE Give each table a number. Give each table a title, which names variables and provides background information Label the row and columns variables and give name to each of the variable categories. Include the totals of the columns and rows. These are called marginals.They equal the univariate frequency distribution for [...]

DATA PRESENTATION Tables and graphs (pictorial presentation of data) may simplify and clarify the research data. Tabular and graphic representation of data may take a number of forms, ranging from computer printouts to elaborate pictographs. The purpose of each table or graph, however, is to facilitate the summarization and communication of the meaning of the [...]

PILOT TESTING OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE Pilot testing also called pre-testing means small scale trial run of a particular component; here we are referring to pilot testing of the questionnaire.
