Assessment Instructions

In this assessment, you will articulate the roles played by team members in a software development project. You will explain how the Java programming language and development environment enable you to perform your role as a software programmer/developer in a development project.

In software development projects, a team is formed to carry out the project. The team is made of several members, each with a distinct role and responsibilities. Examples of these roles include the client, the project manager, the software architect, and the software programmer/developer roles.

Please refer to the resources of this assessment to learn about the software development process and the roles played in a typical software development project.

You may wish to reference these resources in your assessment.

Follow these steps to complete this assessment:
