Disadvantages of Agile
In developing the software quickly and continuously
developers totally forget about the nonfunctional
requirements.
Speed
Persistence
Ease of use
Reliability
Load balancing (for servers)

Introduction to Dual Application

Model

Introducing the Dual Application Model(DAM)

The problems of traditional and agile software methodologies are

handled
Its Mix of both traditional and agile
Best practices from both the traditional and agile are combined
Takes less time than traditional models and more time than agile
model

Dual Application Model(DAM

approach)
Logical Application

Physical Application

Designing the user interface

Capturing non functional requirements or implementing
technologies
Designing test cases for all the non functional requirements like
memory, one tier or multi tier applications
Architecture for mobile or web or desktop or embedded platform

Deciding the technologies for building and maintenance

Implementing version control tools to track the changes
Using optimized algorithms while development to achieve the best
results.

Logical Application
( Domain experts or product
owners )

Domain solution through software product

Decision of requirements, languages, models are made
Consider only the functional requirements
Developing of blue print and making decisions on
blueprint
Modelling the requirements and developing test cases
Designing the interphases and all the abstract modules
required for physical Application

Physical Application(for
software developers)
Design and develop the functional requirements or
visible functionalities.
The decisions made in Logical Application becomes
inputs for the development of Physical Application.
Develop functionalities such that Logical Application
aims are met.
Develop a loosely coupled structure such that Logical
Application features can be tested individually in each
module
Consider all the non functional requirements

Advantages of DAM Approach

Higher Quality when compared to agile or
Traditional methods
Over all productivity which out weights the
extra efforts
Developed software is consistent and
complete

Disadvantages of DAM
Approach
Takes more time then Agile and less time than
Traditional approach or waterfall approach
Need Expertise in making decisions for better
understand and estimation of the non
functional requirements
Need Skilled software developers to provide
quality and adapt to changes
