SOFTWARE ENGINEERING METHODOLOGY 2
Introduction
Software engineering is an approach which contains various activities and methods for
monitoring the development of software involving requirement collection, coding, testing and
analysis process. The uses of software engineering methodologies are growing rapidly because
of their ability to enhance the efficiency of the developed software and web servers. The
objective of this paper is to describe the significance of software engineering methodology and
analyze a journal article constructed on the chosen topic. The title of the adopted article is
“Software prototyping: A case report of refining user requirements for a health information
exchange dashboard” that was written by Scott and other researchers in the year 2016 [1]. This
research paper will contain numerous points including the intention of the article, adopted
research methodologies, findings and issues tinted by the investigators.
Intentions of the article
The chosen article is based on the health information exchange dashboard where the authors
provided their views on software design, user computer interface and medical informatics.
According to the researchers, health information exchange between PCCs and EDs may enhance
the care of poisoned patients [2]. The key objective of this paper is to demonstrate the design on
an HIE console and the modification of consumer requirements through a rapid prototyping
process. It is observed that poisonings are major causes of unintentional deaths in the US and
poison control centres provided a stage for regulatory and reducing the rate of poisonings in the
patients [3].
This paper highlighted the significance of poison control centres (PCCs) and emergency
departments in the reduction of poisoning related issues. For facilitating the consumer centre
design, the users adopted rapid prototyping which provided feedback from the target consumers
based on the HIE software. The researchers also reviewed the advantages and disadvantages of
HIE software in the context of poisoning related issues faced by the consumers. It is argued that
the utilization of rapid prototyping technique for electing consumer requirements and HIE
dashboard engaged consumers and helps for controlling the information related to the patients
suffering from poisoning related issues [4].
