A Review of Metrics for Object-Oriented Design
The ever-evolving body of empirical results do confirmation on the theoretical perspective the validity of OOD metrics whose validity is determined by them demonstrating that [1] they measure what they purport to measure. Quite often OOD metrics have been used as indicators of both the internal and external behaviors in the software development process. Software metrics especially for Object Oriented Systems literature often describe complex models with the focus to help predict various properties of software products and processes by measuring other properties. Usually designers are met with challenges to work with these measures especially when and how to use them. The very process of collecting these measurements leads to a better organization of the software process and a better understanding of what designers do as long as they confine to measurements that are meaningful. To this end therefore, the initiation of these metrics during the initial software development process is important. This paper elicits an understanding of the OOD metrics used in OOS development.
A Review of Mobile Application Development in the Agile Software Development Environment
With the ever changing dynamic environment in mobile devices, mobile software applications need to cope with some particular performance environment that include the limited resources, high autonomy requirements and mark et regulations among other constraints [1]. To provide a software development process that responds to these challenges, adoption of Agile methodology that follows an iterative approach to build software rapidly where the entire software development lifecycle is brok en down into smaller iterations helps to minimize overall risk s. This allows software projects developed though agile methodologies to be easily modified rapidly to meet the users/customers’ requirements. This paper assesses the development of mobile applications in the agile software development environment.
Review of Various Encryption Algorithms
Advancement in technology dictates that information security, user data integrity and security be paramount to protect user information and data from vulnerabilities from malicious intruders- third parties. Need is therefore a factor for information systems to secure user data and information. The concept data encryption ensures that user data is unreadable to third parties keeping their information more safe and secure while using the internet. A lot information on security has been provided by both the physical security and operating system security but neither of these methods have successfully and sufficiently provided a secure mechanism and support on storing and processing of user data and information. This paper reviews the various encryption algorithms that are employed to protect user information and data against various vulnerabilities.
