Software Processes

Structured workflows that transform raw requirements into working applications through defined phases of execution, monitoring, and completion.

Key Concepts

  • Defined phases: Initiation, Execution, Monitoring, Closure
  • Process metrics for performance tracking
  • Iterative improvements through retrospectives

Process Implementation

Process Class

class Process {
  constructor(id) {
    this.id = id
    this.state = 'pending'
    this.observers = []
  }

  // Subscribe to process updates
  subscribe(observer) {
    this.observers.push(observer)
  }

  // Execute process
  execute() {
    this.state = 'running'
    this.observers.forEach(obs => obs.update(this))
    setTimeout(() => {
      this.state = 'completed'
      this.observers.forEach(obs => obs.update(this))
    }, 3000)
  }
}
                        

Process Monitoring

class ProcessMonitor {
  constructor(name) {
    this.name = name
  }

  // Handle updates from process
  update(process) {
    console.log(`Monitor: Process ${process.id} is now ${process.state}`)
  }
}
