Development methodology used in this textbook has many things in common with the Unified Process, Scrum, and Extreme Programming. In fact, our objective in this textbook is to teach you the principles common to all these methodologies without forcing you to accept only one.
Given these four methodologies-Satzinger-Jackson-Bird (SJB), UP, Scrum, XP-and what you now know about Agile and iterative development, do the following for the development of the On the Spot system:
1. Choose a single methodology. Why did you choose that one?
2. Mix and match practices from each methodology. Discuss which ideas you like from each methodology.
Given the trend in new technology, software availability, and the Web as an application platform, answer these questions:
1. What kind of equipment would be best and most stable for the truck drivers to use?
2. What would you recommend as the development approach and platform: a custom application using Visual Studio and .Net, a custom application using Java or similar language, a Web application using ASP.NET. a Web application using PHP and JavaScript, or some other combination. Discuss your recommendation.
