Operating Systems Question

Answer carefully and completely for a thumbs up

I know part (a), need help with other parts.

Question3 (a) Imagine you are training an inexperienced software developer. Your trainee is trying to decide whether to do Java development in a full IDE like intelliJ IDEA or whether to stick with a regular text editor, and they have asked you for your advice What points would you make to them about the advantages and disadvantages of using a full IDE in a software project? (b) You are inspecting the work of the trainee developer from (a) and you discover that they have created a number of different directories called Versionl, version2, Version1-noDatabase, their approach to source code management, they reply with "it works for me- Version2-experiment, etc. When you quiz them about don't see why it's worth the effort to learn a version control system." What could you say to your trainee to persuade them that their approach is flawed and that using a version control system is worthwhile? (c) A textbook on software development tools states that "branching is one of Git's most important features for supporting collaboration within a team of developers". Explain, with reference to project workflow, the reasoning behind this statement. (d) When developin g in teams, why is it considered essential to have an automated build process, managed by version-controlled build scripts?

Answer 1

b. I will explain the trainee the advantages of using version control system such as

backup and recovery of the older versions,

synchronization of the updated shared data

Undo short changes

Tracking the changes done to the project

Branching and merging the code

So if the trainee will use the version control system then the project will be well organized and changes in the project can be done very easily and accurately.

c. In Branching the object is duplicated under revision control in version control system so that the modification can be performed parallel.

Large project will require many people to work on different modules and complete the project. Branching help in sharing the code with the developers and team leads and facilitate the development of the various project module parallaly. It will isolate the changes in project without destabilizing the codebase, and if testing is done then the code is added to the project codebase.

d. Automatic build will generate artifacts about the project by compiling and linking source code. The automated build can be scheduled or triggered to execute. The advantages of the automated build are as follows

1. continuous integration of the project code

2. improved software development quality

3. Eliminate the redundant task by automatically integrating the source code

4. Investigate the project code using build history

5. Enhance the build time

6. Reduce the overall project development time by reducing the bugs, bad builds, redundant task
