SOFTWARE
IMPLEMENTATION
TOPICS COVERED
• Introduction to Software Implementation
• Importance of SI
• Key Activities of SI
INTRODUCTION
The implementation phase is where the
system design is translated into a working
software product. It involves coding, testing,
integration, and initial deployment.
IMPORTANCE
• Its importance lies in translating theoretical
designs into functional, working software.
• Turning Ideas into Reality
• Ensuring Functionality
• Customer Feedback
KEY ACTIVITIES
The Implementation Phase of the
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
involves executing the plans and designs
created in earlier phases to build a functional
and deployable software product.
KEY ACTIVITIES - CODING
• Translating the design specifications and
requirements into actual code.
• Developers write, test, and integrate code
modules based on the chosen programming
language and development framework.
• Ensures adherence to coding standards, design
patterns, and best practices.
KEY ACTIVITIES - CODING
• Best Practices:
• Follow coding standards (e.g., naming conventions,
commenting).
• Use version control tools (e.g., Git) to track changes.
• Write reusable and modular code.
• Examples of popular languages used in implementation
(e.g., Python, Java, C#, etc.).
CODING STANDARDS
• Indentation: Proper and consistent
indentation is essential in producing easy to
read and maintainable programs.
CODING STANDARDS
CODING STANDARDS
• Inline comments: Inline comments analyze
the functioning of the subroutine, or key
aspects of the algorithm shall be frequently
used.
CODING STANDARDS
CODING STANDARDS
• Rules for limiting the use of global: These rules
file what types of data can be declared global
and what cannot.
• Structured Programming: Structured (or
Modular) Programming methods shall be used.
CODING STANDARDS
• Naming conventions for global variables,
local variables, and constant identifiers
• Error return conventions and exception
handling system
KEY ACTIVITIES - UNIT TESTING
It is necessary to write source code & test it so
that conformance of the code to requirements
specification can be easily verified.
Types of Tests can be performed: Functional Tests
and Edge case tests.
KEY ACTIVITIES - INTEGRATION
Objective of Integration is to Combine
individual modules to form a cohesive system.
This results in achieving the incremental
working software at the end of each iteration.
KEY ACTIVITIES - INTEGRATION
Challenges:
• Dependencies and Conflicts between
Modules
• Handling version mismatches
• API Handshaking
KEY ACTIVITIES - DEPLOYMENT
Delivering the running software to the end
user is the main objective of the deployment
phase.
KEY ACTIVITIES - DEPLOYMENT
• Steps:
• Create installation scripts or packages.
• Migrate data from old systems if applicable.
• Execute the scripts and packages based on
the implementation specification document.
KEY ACTIVITIES - DOCUMENTATION
• Preparing documentation for users, administrators,
and support teams.
• Includes user manuals, installation guides, and
technical documentation for future maintenance.
• Ensures stakeholders have the resources needed
to use and support the system effectively.
