SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY COMPARISON REPORT2
Introduction
Development of software, even when it is associated with the updating procedure of
an existing website is associated with the accepting of a proper methodology for which the
system would have a standardized procedure to follow. The organization has been thinking
about implementing the same for the updating procedure for the information system. The
implementation would be done throughout the entire enterprise. This is why, the system has
also been thinking about the proper inclusion of the accession ability for the intranet of the
organization with a web-enabled front end and at the same time develop a Microsoft SQL
Database for the storage and the manipulation of the organizational data regarding the policy
document and reports (Soni & Kohli, 2017). The development procedure would begin within
the organization with in-house resources. At the same time, the system development
methodologies would also be kept into consideration to find out which of them would be the
most appropriate of all of them for the project. The considerations, in this case, are about the
two methodologies that are being thought about, the DevOps methodology and the RAD or
Rapid Application Development methodology. The following would be a comparison report
based on the consideration of both these with a proper investigation and critical analysis for
both of them. In the end, there would be a proper representation of both the methodologies
where the recommendation of the most appropriate amongst the two would be identified and
the reasons for the same would be shared.
Investigation for the DevOps as a system development methodology
DevOps is regarded as one of the most popular integrated systems methodologies as
per the recent practices. The set of practices that help in the systems development is built
with the development of the software and the information technology operations. The name
of the systems development methodology has also been derived from the combination of the
set of practices (Francis, Nunez Lloyd & Torres, 2019). The procedure has the ability to
shortening the life cycle for the systems development where the continuous delivery of the
development procedure as well as increasing the quality of the software.
This methodology allows both the personnel or engineers for the operations and
development for the system to participate in the service lifecycle together. The involvement
of both kinds of engineers are involved throughout the development procedure and the
support after the production even. The methodology has been identified as a mindset that an
organization can develop during the system development methods and procedures. The

amalgamation of both aspects of operations and development are seen to be present in the
DevOps development methodology. When an organization is looking forward to
implementing the DevOps technique of methodology for the development of a system,
therefore, it can be regarded as the specific mindset of an organization to reach several
identified goals. These can be listed as follows:
 The planning of the system is being looked forward to through the
implementation of DevOps only for the inclusion of the value stream and the
development of the automated and continuous pipeline for development.
 The organization must be looking forward to increasing its frequency and the
deployment quality from the existing ways in which it was carried out
previously through the DevOps development methodology.
 The way by which the organizations are trying out to implement the DevOps
development methodology might mean that the organization is looking
forward towards the application of innovations towards the approaches of the
safer environment for performing any experiment (Erich, Amrit & Daneva,
2017).
 The organization might implement the DevOps development methodology as
it has understood the importance of the utilization of a faster market approach
and how to make a better move at being in synchronization with the same.
 The organization must be looking forward to having a better implementation
of the quality of time to be invested in the solution of any problem arising at
the juncture throughout the development procedure, which is why the
organization has been looking forward to implementing the DevOps
development methodology.
 The urge of an organization to have a better aim at reducing the severity and
the failure issues might be another goal for which the organization have been
looking forward to the implementation of DevOps development methodology
for the development of the organizational systems.
 The organization might be reached at the goal to improve the Mean Time to
Recovery or the MTTR for which they have been looking forward to the
DevOps development methodology for the development of their systems.
These reasons, as well as the urge of a business to share a business environment of an
associated culture involving people from a different department to have a collaborative work
