Hello:
I am in involved in the creation of a .NET application and was wondering if
there are any "rules of thumb" in terms of the percentage of time typically
required for each step in the development process? Are there any good
websites that discuss these types of issues?
We have logically divided our software lifecycle into the following stages:
1. Requirements Gathering (% time?)
2. Analysis/Design
a. Business Logic/Data Components (% time?)
b. Interface (% time?)
3. Coding
a. Business/DataComponents - including creation of unit tests (%
time?)
b. Interface - no unit tests created (% time?)
4. System Testing/Debugging (% time?)
Of particular interest is the typical ratio of back-end developers (middle
tier/database responsibilitie s) to front-end developers (interface
responsibilitie s). I realize these values can vary by project, but again,
just looking for estimates based upon the average project.
Thanks very much for any insight!

One more point I should have made. In addition to business/data access
component creation, back-end developers are also responsible for the
creation of database tables, stored procedures, etc.
Thanks again!

Chris,
There is no straight forward answer to your questions.
Time spent depends heavily on the complexity and quality of the application
you wand to develop.
Moreover it depends on your budget and schedule!!!
In my opinion you should spent more time in the first two steps.

The question is: What's the cost of having an existing (access) developer

experience.
I know it's not an easy question, and it's difficult to compare when bearing

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
