Hardware and software platforms

Planning

·         The planning phase entails the determination of the objective of the system and requirements for producing the product (Morris & Media, 2015).

·         It will entail the determination of the resources required to set up the Internet in the new home including costs and personnel. There is also the preparation of the concept of the new Internet connection.

·         There is also in this phase the consideration of the various alternatives to creating ten new projects. In case there is no viable alternative then there will be the assembling of the information into a project plan.

·         The alternatives for consideration in this particular project are the different Internet service providers.

·         There will also be ten carrying out of the feasibility study to determine if the project will be feasible in light of the resources available (Radack, 2009).

Analysis

·         It is the phase that entails a determination of the end-user requirements.

·         It involves gathering factual; data, comprehending processes involved, identifying problems and then making a recommendation for feasible suggestions for system functionality.

·         It takes place with the help of the client focus groups that offer an explanation of their needs and expectations from the new system for the new system and how it will perform.

·         “The major objectives that this phase will accommodate include, giving answers to the following questions. What is taking place? How is it taking place? Who are doing it? When are they doing it? Why are they doing it? How can it have improvement?” (Radack, 2009).

·         The requirements of the user of the Internet connection swill have documentation and get a sign-off from the user and management to move forward with the design of the system.

Design

·         In the design phase, there is the translation of the logical system design into and architectural view of the system (Kay, 2002).

·         It entails drawing interconnections of the Internet in all the rooms of the new houses, where cables will be in placement and how data will be flowing between various devices.

·         It is the most crucial phase of system development life cycle.  It is where the system development process continues to move from the 'what' questions of the analysis phase to 'how'.

·         There will be turning the logical design of the Internet connection into a physical design. That is normally a detailed description of the requirements for solving the original problem.

·         There will be a decision of the hardwareand software platforms in which the new Internet connection will run.

·         There will also be tools and techniques description including data flow diagram, structured English, and data dictionary decision tree and decision table.

Construction

§  The construction phase of the system development life cycle is where there will be executing of the laid down plans for the design phase.

§  In this phase, there will be configuration and enablement of the new Internet connection features, and installation of the system (Kay, 2002).

§  There will also be testing of the components during the system construction before the actual testing takes place.  All the components such as cables, network devices and other peripheral devices and software should work correctly.

§  The new Internet connection should meet the required security specifications before it comes into operation.  There should also be the inclusion of additional controls to support the system and then testing of those controls to ensure they do not invalidate or conflict with the existing controls.

Testing

§  During the testing phase of SDLC, there is testing of the system for functionality and performance (NIOS, 2015).

§  The setup network should undergo testing top ensure all the components and interconnections are working as desired and there is no problem accessing Web.

§  The intercommunications between the various devices must work correctly and should be compatible with software in the entire system.

§  The core element of this phase is to verify that the new Internet connection contains all the end-user requirements outlined in the analysis phase. It is also to determine if all the functions are accurately processing data, and that the new system meets all the quality standards. 

§  When there is proof that the Internet connection if running properly, the working should have a demonstration for the house owner to see if it is meeting his requirements.

 Rollout

§  The rollout phase is when the then system comes to live, and the owner begins to work with the new Internet connection.

§  When the rollout begins, there is also the beginning to receiving the feedback from the house owner and other users. There can then be a resolution of any performance issues that may arise or the mishandling of data and components.

§  During this system, there will be loading of system programs into the user’s computer, and then the user will undergo training to understand how to work with the system.

§  The major training topics will entail how to execute the package, enter data, process data, and how to take out reports.
