Software development has witnessed tremendous advances with the development of new and better tools and models for development. Businesses typically no longer use models with sequential phases and limited iterations. New development models, such as agile development, extreme programming (XP), and scrum, use teams with highly focused goals, clear deliverables, and iterative development cycles to improve the efficiency of development. These software development models also introduce new security risks in the development organization and the code that is produced.
For this assignment, you will continue development of your software assurance guidelines document to address security in nontraditional development models. This new section of your document will provide guidance to the company when it is using nontraditional development models to ensure that it follows processes and policies that will minimize the threat of security problems. The security development model will be used as the basis for your analysis.
The project deliverables are as follows:
