EBSCOhost Books

EBSCOhost supplies eBooks and audio books for many institutions’ online libraries to help out both the teachers and students. A broad assortment of eBooks and audio books has made EBSCOhost an eminent industry as far as the online academic library is concerned. In the technology community, EBSCOhost has brought a new revolution to fulfill the requirements of the customers. EBSCOhost eBooks and journals are essential for academic perspective. By following the guidelines, EBSCOhost presents a large collection of online books and journals important for academic readers (‘eBooks on EBSCOhost’, 2012). The eBooks of EBSCOhost have included many divisions such as art, science, and technology to provide a variety of collection to the users. To continue the topics with EBSCOhost eBooks, some APA functions can be required to discuss that have been efficiently utilized by EBSCOhost. To make the eBooks and journals more useful, EBSCOhost has technically followed the APA guidelines for the eBooks. The eBooks have indeed designed in such a way that one can easily make out the points and the underlying theme of a topic. In case of technology, the presentation, data, theories, and parameters have been critically analyzed and discussed to put more importance on a given topic (Latham, 2008). The user-friendly eBooks and journals can certainly used to determine any knowledge in an easy process. The APA function of ultimate understanding of topic discussion has been depicted in all the books. The services are technically followed to get the best results for the users.

Furthermore, the design of the writing is critically based on the topic to make more sense to the users. EBSCOhost has put more essence on subject-based theories in the books to make it more knowledgeable. Whenever a reader has searched for a book on a given topic, the diversification of EBSCOhost has enabled the reader to collect some books on the same subject. The eBooks of eminent writers and researchers have certainly its value within the readers. EBSCOhost has adequately supplied books that can create knowledge on the basis of data and research work of distinguished authors. Meanwhile, EBSCOhost eBooks have produced enough resources to the reader to enhance the experience or complete a task on a given subject successfully. Following the guidance of APA, proper strategies, methodologies, review of literature and discussion can be found on the eBooks of EBSCOhost. Systematic process and regulations to complete a project can also be learned from the books (Gorrell, 2011).  Arguably, EBSCOhost has presented a vast field of knowledge in an academic fashion for its users to gather successfully knowledge. The prospects of the books are endless. In case of research-oriented books and journals, proper model and methods have been efficiently presented following the APA guidelines. Such models and methods can be effectively followed by the users for research perspective (‘New RANZCP Member benefit – EBSCOhost databases’, 2012). Eventually, the resources produced in the EBSCOhost eBooks can certainly help to identify the missing links in case of research work as far as research papers are concerned.

SDLC Methodologies

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Models and Methodologies are implemented in the software industry to perform different processes such as software analysis, software development, software maintenance and software publication (Cobb, 2011). The SDLC methodologies can also be applied in the case of software services that include training and credentials. In the below section, four specific SDLC Methodologies have been presented that can be purposely utilized in diverse software development approaches (Lewis, 2008).

1. Waterfall Methodology

Waterfall Methodology is a linear chronological flow chart procedure. In this model, the flowing of the progress has been presented in a step by downward step order like a waterfall. By using this particular methodology, a phase has begun with the ending of the previous period. The usage of this particular method can be seen in such projects that do not focus on requirement alteration (Davis, 2005). For instance, request proposal responses projects are most suitable for this type of Methodology. The method is very useful to explain a structure of an approach in proper order. On the other hand, in this methodology the requirements needed to be constant that is a drawback of such model.

2. V-Shaped Methodology

V-Shaped Methodology can be presented as an extension of Waterfall model. The V-shaped model can be represented to define the steps required after the coding stage that can adjusted as a V-shaped model. Whenever the software prerequisite is identified and evidently determined, the V-Shaped methodology can be considered as ideal as far as SDLC Methodologies are concerned (Kaur & Kaur, 2015). Also, in case of established software development technologies, such model can be effectively utilized. The methodology is very simple and efficient to use. At the same time, the method has a significant drawback such as rigidity. In case of any problems, phases cannot be altered in V-Shaped methodology.

3. Spiral Methodology

The Spiral model can be used for large and complicated project works where large systems have to be developed following some small build up segments. The spiral model can successfully help to assess the risk of a project development using the prototypes significantly. By following the spiral model, the project estimates such as schedule and budget can be defined more evidently. On the other hand, cost and time can be higher to perform such model adequately. At the same time, special skills are required to identify the risk attached to the project using the model.

4. Iterative and Incremental Methodology

Iterative and Incremental Methodology can be defined as a compact summary of some Waterfall models. In Iterative and Incremental Methodology, the drawback of Waterfall models can be eliminated. The method has been developed through the repetitive cycle and small time frames. In case of large software development, such Iterative and Incremental Methodology can be applied efficiently (McMurtrey, 2013). The Iterative and Incremental Methodologies can efficiently calculate the business value at the early development stages. On the other hand, substantial documentation resources have been required to complete the model effectively. Defined processes and functions with a lot of distinct features must be applied to organize the project in a perfect way. Such functions and different features can be time-consuming and create some problems as far as integration and iteration are concerned.
