Open and Closed Software Development models - a Study and Application in Life

Abstract The design methods and software development lifecycle methodologies apply to areas outside the software environment. As a Technologies & IT head and Professor, I learn, implement and teach many software principles in day-to-day life both at the office and home. After knowing the power of Agile outside the software development environment, I often self-retrospect about how well I can make use of the computer science knowledge I am acquiring in my life. Hence for my analysis, I attempt to study different SDLC (Software Development Life-Cycle) processes that might be usable in life. I assume if the model such as Agile is a useful tool, then the others can also have room for application in my life. The software types I will study is open source. My work verifies open and closed software standards. To make my work brief and focused, I will focus primarily on Linux and Agile for Open Source (OS) and Closed Software (CS) models, respectively. Both open and closed software standards extensively impact on the software revolution. Especially closed software standards have famous beyond the software engineering environment. Before the research, I thought first to describe the commonalities that they have. During my study, I was able to identify the positive attributes of methods that define the open-source development model, which can help me to do productive things in my life. Software engineering standards, processes, guidelines, methods and tools and can be used as a catalyst to improve our daily lives.
