Technical standards are important to ensure that all development staff utilize the same technologies for consistency, maintenance, and support. By ensuring that all individuals follow a specific set of standards, development processes can be efficiently completed by many different individuals rather than having the dependency on a few.
In this assessment you complete SDP Section 6, Standards and Procedures, which is intended to provide developers a high-level view of technologies to be used.
Preparation
Review the CapraTek Overview found in the assessment Resources.
Save a new version of your SDP document using this assessment number and use it to complete the assessment.
Directions
Consider the CapraTek scenario and address the items below in Section 6 of the CapraTek SDP document:
Create a technology stack component diagram showing where each technical operation is performed.
Describe the following components and justify why each is important for solving the identified technical challenges:
Servers: Describe the various types of servers that are appropriate for integration with the identified applications.
Development Software: Identify four development and support tools needed for software development that both address identified technical challenges and interoperate with Java and .NET operations. Justify your choices.
Save and submit your SDP.
