Question

Part I: Choose an industry, a company, a profession, and a specific job in that position within that company. Design and develop an effective performance appraisal system for that specific job. Upload an attachment of your performance appraisal to your discussion board. This attachment may be in either Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel. - 50 Points

Part II: Write about your process in designing your performance appraisal. Which performance measurement approach did you use? Why? If you used a rating scale, which type did you use? Why? Explain how and why you chose your specific metrics in the personnel assessment. What outside resources did you use? Federal regulations? State regulations?Industry regulations? Company standards?

Answer 1

Answer. System development: refers to a series of process or activities which consist of system analysis, modeling design, implementation, testing, and maintenance in order to produce information systems solution.

Object-oriented System Development: Object-oriented refers to where software is the collection of various discrete objects and it emphasizes its philosophy by allocating tasks.

UML: Unified Modeling Language refer to standard language to express the design of system architecture.

Here is what I believe:

• Object-orientation provides a higher level of abstraction to system development. Since, an object encapsulates both attributes and methods which leads to designing, coding, testing, & maintaining the system in a simpler way.
• The objective of UML is to use common terms of object-oriented and express in a diagramming technique which leads to a system development project
• In the object-oriented, the routines and attributes within a class are well-managed, they are grouped together but remain independent. Thus, this leads there impact is minimized.
• As UML can also helps in modelling of business process and constructing a use-case model for Object-Oriented Analysis. Software architecture is necessary for the system and UML is a well-known visual language

Here is why I believe:

• In the object-oriented approach, programs are well-organized and well-defined
• Objects promote reusability within a class and their functionality remains constant or unaffected.
• UML is extensible and scalable. Because it is known to be a set of specifications that are created by Object Management Group.
• UML models are portable.

Rebuttal:

• UML is not one of the Development lifecycle strategies. SDLC can perfectly work even without UML
• UML is not specific to any programming paradigm or software process.
• UML is known to be complex as it has 14 different types of diagrams.
• In some situation or scenario, UML is not required to communicate their designs. A software developer is known to be formal at the code level.
