Agile methodology in SDLC

Agile methodology in SDLC


Meaning of Agile is 'moving quickly'. This software development methodology is based on iterative and incremental model of software development.
There were certain principles on which the agile model was to be based. The most important of the principles is customer satisfaction by giving rapid and continuous delivery of small and useful software. The delivery of the software happens at regular intervals as opposed to after a number of months, which is the case with the waterfall model.
There is a lot of scope for cooperation between the business people and the developers, as the requirements keep coming from the business people at regular intervals. There is a lot of emphasis laid on technical excellence and good design of the software. The software development team has to adapt regularly to the changing circumstances.
Agile modeling is a methodology, which makes use of practice for modeling and documentation of software based systems. Traditional modeling methods in software development projects have given way to these practices which are applied in a more flexible manner
Types of Agile Methodologies
o Scrum
o Extreme Programming (XP)
o Agile Unified Process (AUP)
o Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM)
o Essential Unified Process (EssUP)
o Exia Process (ExP)
o Feature Driven Development (FDD)
o Open Unified Process (OpenUP)
o Crystal Clear
o Velocity tracking

Above are the types but in that Scrum Methodology is very popular:
Scrum Methodology
There are different methodologies, which are a part of the agile model. The most famous one is scrum methodology. Like all the other agile computer programming, scrum is also an iterative and incremental methodology. This methodology is different than the other methodologies because, the idea of empirical process control was introduced in this process. As a matter of fact, scrum was introduced for software project management. However, it was eventually also used for software maintenance.
The best part of the scrum methodology is that it makes use of real world progress of a project, which is used for planning and scheduling releases. The entire computer software project is divided into small parts known as sprints. The duration of sprint can range from one week to three weeks. At the end of the duration of the sprint, the team members along with the stakeholders meet. This meeting helps in assessing the progress of the project and chalk out the further plan of action. This assessment helps in taking stalk of the current state of affairs and rework the line of work and complete the project on time and not just speculate or predict the further outcome.

Dealing with Passwords in Java Applications: 5 Best Practices You Should Follow

 In modern Java applications—whether core Java applications or enterprise-level web applications—working with passwords is inevitable. Passwords are sensitive pieces of information, just like Social Security Numbers (SSNs), and if you’re handling real human data in systems such as online banking or healthcare portals, it’s critical to implement best practices for dealing with passwords securely. Below, I’ll share five essential best practices that I’ve learned and recommend for managing passwords, particularly when you are handling authentication and authorization. While these tips are a good starting point, be sure to tailor them to your application’s requirements and security policies. 1) Use SSL/TLS to Transfer Username and Password When users send passwords over the network, it is crucial to use SSL/TLS to encrypt the communication. This ensures that sensitive information is protected from eavesdroppers. Tools like LDAP and Active Directory are commonly used for storing usern...

How does a hash map work internally in Java?

Hash map work internally in Java Basically, HashMap is an array of Entry class, a static inner class defined in HashMap is as below: static class Entry implements Map. Entry  { final K key; V value; Entry next; final int hash; //getters and setters } Each element in Hashmap stores in it a key, its value, a reference to next entry in case hash value is the same for two entries, in that case, a linked list will be formed. Default initial capacity of a HashMap is 16 i.e a HashMap is initialized with a default 16 sized array. Now, let us see what happens when we put an element into HashMap. Following is the code for put method in hashmap: public V put(K key, V value) { if (key == null) return putForNullKey(value); int hash = hash(key.hashCode()); int i = indexFor(hash, table.length); for (Entry e = table[i]; e != null; e = e.next) { Object k; if (e.hash == hash && ((k = e.key) == key || key.equals(k))) { V oldValue = e.value; e....

New Features in Java 11

  Java 11 introduced several new features and enhancements. Here are some notable features with examples: Local-Variable Syntax for Lambda Parameters: Java 11 allows var to be used in lambda parameters, which provides improved readability and conciseness. Example: java // Before Java 11   someList.forEach((String item) -> { System.out.println(item); }); // With Java 11   someList.forEach(( var item) -> { System.out.println(item); }) HTTP Client (Standard API): Java 11 introduced a new HTTP client API as a replacement for the deprecated HttpURLConnection . It provides a more modern and flexible way to send HTTP requests and handle responses. Example import java.net.URI; import java.net.http.HttpClient; import java.net.http.HttpRequest; import java.net.http.HttpResponse; public class HttpClientExample { public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception { HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient(); HttpRequest request = HttpReque...
