| Summary: | The major sources of revenue for any telephone company (eg. Telekom
Malaysia) is the selling of ads in their directories (ie. Yellow and White Pages). At
first glance, this may seem like a simple process - go to a company, ask them if they
would like to purchase an ad in the Yellow Pages, and if so design an appropriate ad
and place it in the proper section. In reality, however, this process can be enormously
complex, with various factors needing to be taken into account. They include the size
of the ad, the number of colors it has, its position on the page, the size of the text, the
number of lines that the buyer can specify text for, and number of different fonts it
contains. When I joined net-linx and involved in nxApex project I was introduced to
new methods in software development. The nxApex project team worked in an
Extreme Programming (XP) environment one of agile methodology. So in this
technical report I will discuss a little bit on XP practice and the different between this
still evolving methodology and traditional methodology. Here I found that this XP
methodology is a discipline of software development based on values of simplicity,
communication, feedback, and courage. The different between traditional
methodologies and agile methodologies is similar to the different between the
situation when you are traveling by plane and traveling by your own car. In this
writing I also talk about the project that I am involved with – nxApex. Here I will
focus for the user story that been assigned to me, the System Administration. As
conclusion, I found that using agile methodology is more reliable to this kind of
project where involvement of customer in all phases is essential. |
