Agile Technology 2
Introduction
From the last two decades, agile methodologies have used for the maintenance of software. In
addition, it is the flexible and iterative approach for the maintenance of the software in a
software life cycle. This report will analyze the article based on various factors and provides a
research report on it. The article was based on the agile mythologies, which has used in software
development. There are various other methods for the management of the software life cycle.
However, not all those traditional approaches have used properly to improve the performance of
the software. Besides, agile methodology has provided better results in the maintenance of
software. The authors have provided a deep analysis of software maintenance. This is the most
expensive phase of SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle)1.
This report will provide a review and critique of the article, which has provided reviews on
several papers and case studies to evaluate the agile methodologies and its performance and
quality. The article has conduct investigation on agile methodology based on various things, such
as tools, datasets, and different techniques. This article provides better results and improvement
of various methodologies for software maintenance.
Critique on Agile methodologies
In this article, less amount of data has included, which is necessary for understanding the role of
agile methodologies. The authors have not provided a proper framework and the working of
agile tools and techniques. In addition, the authors have not mentioned the proper direction of
research in this article.
The article has described about the various methods of software methodologies using case
studies and other things. The article has described about the software maintenance. In addition, it
is a difficult task for the developers to manage all the things based on the budget of the project.
Moreover, many other costs have included in the project, which makes a huge impact on the
budget of the projects. Besides, there is a need for minimization of various costs from the project
phases. In the case of the waterfall approach, most of the software has required changes in the
software that requires huge cost2.
