Coding
The coding process will change program logic into specific instructions that can be executed by computers. In small programs this work can be done by one or two programmer and in large programs this task may be divided into section that can be handled by different groups. If the program was carefully written this process should be a simple process where the logical functions are translated into program code. Other programs were written to tie our student user population into the Active Directory forest. Our department had also written some code to delete Windows profiles and install software packages. This activity went by pretty fast for us as most of the critical work was already done by Microsoft.
Testing
After the coding activity is complete the next process is to test the program and make sure it works correctly. First programs are tested in groups and then the entire system is tested as a complete unit (Shelly, Cashman & Rosenblatt, 1998). Our testing phase started with a few local computers that were set aside strictly for this purpose. As the project got further along other departments were brought into the picture. First they started with departments that were located at the main campus. Once those tests were complete they need to test department from off campus. The system needed to be check to make sure user records were shown so accounts could be tracked and reported if necessary. Other test included a network load test to insure it could handle the amount of computers that were going to be put on the system. Many other tests were most likely put into place before the system was offered to other departments like ours. Once the testing phase was complete it was time to move on.
Installation
The installation process is done by installing the new system and retiring the old system. The four methods in the installation process are direct cutover, parallel operation, pilot operation, and phased changeover (Wikipedia, 2006). In direct cutover they old system is instantly change from old to new. Parallel operation requires that both system run for a certain time period before the old system is turned off. Pilot operation and phased changeover fall in between the other two methods. All installation process have there benefits and disadvantages. In our situation with the old authentication system and the new authentication each department was able to run a parallel operation.
Christopher S is a 22 year old Caucasian male who voluntarily chose to attend the 31 day program at the Greenhouse American Addiction Center. The client was admitted to the facility dealing with opiate, cocaine, and alcohol use. His heavy drug use was compiled with feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression which stemmed from his childhood and adolescence. Over the course of his adolescence, he had many confrontations with the police and has now earned himself a pretty lengthy criminal background. He is currently facing many charges from forgery to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Christopher is about 5’5 with brown hair and brown eyes. Christopher reports “having a stable childhood only when he was living with his mother and stepfather, but he reports 8 years of molestation and abuse which was inflicted by his biological father which whom he had to visit in another state every summer” (personal communication,

Information Systems Engineering Command (ISEC) personnel were briefed regarding several areas that were a concern to Task Force Mercury (TFM) personnel. ISEC is assisting TFM in ongoing Special Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) projects for the Yongsan Relocation Program / Land Partnership Program (YRP/LPP). Areas of ISEC concern include security standards for SCIFs but also the obtainment of In Line Network Encryptors (INE)s. These items will be included in a future Augmentation to Table of Distributions and Allowances (AUGTDA) being prepared in support of new YRP/LPP requirements. ISEC personnel were also briefed on the future deployment of Common High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor (HAIPE) Interoperable Manager to Efficient Remote Administration (CHIMERA) in supporting the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet) and the Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System Korea (CENTRIXS-K) networks. They were also briefed on the possibility of the CHIMERA being used on the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications

The systems planning phase is the first phase completed in the SDLC. It encompasses evaluating the feasibility and the cost of the system, identifying the risks involved with implementing the system, and determining the responsibilities of each of the team members. To begin the planning phase, a systems request is submitted to the IT department, detailing the problems and changes to be made in a system. (Rosenblatt, 2014). It is important to note that the request may be a large, significant request, or it can be a smaller, more minor request; however, each request should be addressed using the systems development life cycle. After the request has been made, a feasibility study is conducted that determines the costs and benefits of the new or improved system. The study then recommends a strategy that is best for the system in terms of technical, monetary, and time factors.
According to Marianne Bradford, the definition of BPR is "the fundamental, radical redesign in business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in key measures of performance such as cost, quality, speed and service" (Modern ERP, 2nd Edition, 2010, p30). Basically, it is an operational strategy to overhaul core business processes within an organization in an attempt to improve performance and productivity.

...ill need to have a server operation system to house and configure the MHC-PMS software. On the client side, employees will need a computer with an operating system and an interface with the MHC-PMS. Other hardware beside the computer would be network cables to connect to router and the router will need to have secure connection to the central database. Once the hardware is setup and configured, employees will use their computers in the facilities to log into the server, and then log into the MHC-PMS software to access the information for their position. One login will be for the server to again access to network resources such as network drives and network printers and a second login will be needed to get into MHC-PMS with the user controls provided by management.
Compilers collect and reorganize (compile) all the instructions in a given set of source code to produce object code. Object code is often the same as or similar to a computer's machine code. If the object code is the same as the machine language, the computer can run the program immediately after the compiler produces its translation. If the object code is not in machine language, other programs—such as assemblers, binders, linkers, and loaders—finish the translation.
Imagine having a computer without running software. Computers would be slightly pointless without programs to run it. There would be no directions in the computer to tell it how to run, where to run, and what to do. A computer would have the ability to turn on, but a blank screen would be the only thing to appear on a monitor. I am sure that the question of "Who creates these programs?" has run through many minds in the past. These programs aid you in typing papers, connect you to the Internet, send information to other computers, or provide an interface for games that help to occupy your time. Computer programmers are the individuals that create and work with these programs. On a broad scale, computer programmers write the programs, test the programs, and then maintain the programs that millions of people use daily (Computer Programming 243-249). The every day duties of a computer programmer include investigating work requests from system analysts, understanding the problem and the desired resolution, choosing an appropriate approach, and planning an outcome that will tell the mechanism what to do to produce the desired results. Programmers must be experienced in high levels of mathematics, computer science, and programming languages. A programmer must also have experience with critical thinking, reading comprehension, and deductive reasoning. Programmers need to master these subjects, since they write in a language different from everyday English or French.
A computer is useless without an operating system and without it every program would need the full hardware specification to run correctly and perform tasks. An operating system, also known as OS, is a software on the hard drive that allows the hardware of a computer to communicate and operate with the computer software. The OS is the most important software running on a computer because it handles the memory, processes and all of its software and hardware (Operating Systems). The OS helps coordinate all the programs that can access your CPU, memory and storage so that each program gets what it needs. There are different types of operating systems that can be found in any computer devices that will be explained further later on.
The field of Computer Science is based primarily on computer programing. Programming is the writing of computer programs using letters and numbers to make "code". The average computer programer will write at least a million lines of code in his or her lifetime. But even more important than writting code, a good programer must be able to solve problems and think logicaly.
