Agile methods for cloud computing
Since agile development was invented in the mid-1990s, it changed the way of doing software development. The emphasis is placed on a short development cycles based on a feedback from customer. But, agile development was missing important component - development platform for supporting fast development cycles. That missing linking component can be recognized in a cloud computing, which eliminates major distribution requests which can downgrade agile development. The goal of this paper is to describe the connection of agile methods for software development with cloud computing platform. By describing that connection, benefits and improvements in whole software development process are being pointed out. As a practical part of this paper, the application for warehouse management is developed applying agile method called Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) on Google App Engine platform as a service. This development is compared with the development of the application for warehouse management by agile methods but in a traditional way.
