Abstract
Abstract
Existing software development methodologies were mostly focused on team-based development. Solo development presents its own challenges due to the lack of collaboration and resources. Existing solo development methodologies lacked efficiency, modularity, and revisitability, which become the values for the proposed RSSD (Rapid Solo Software Development) methodology. RSSD adopts the same main phases from the Agile methodology (meet, plan, design, develop, test, and evaluate), but with different subphases, values, and optimization measures. The efficiency value focuses on streamlining the planning process, including code structure planning and optimization strategies. Modularity focuses on dividing the codes into smaller functions and reducing dependencies. Lastly, revisitability focuses on improving the clarity of the diagrams, documentation, and code structure for easy revisits. The RSSD methodology was tested on 10 total projects, and respondents agreed that it was helpful to streamline the development process, with an average score of 4.19 out of 5.0. This study contributes to making a streamlined yet effective methodology that helps solo software developers to plan a project in a more structured manner.
