A task specifies a part of the development work that a developer must carry out to build part of a user story. Each task has a title so you can easily consult it, an approximate description that contains details on how the development of that task should be carried out and an estimate. Requirements engineering is a broad domain that focuses on being the connector between modeling, analysis, design, and construction. It is the process that defines, identifies, manages and develops the requirements in a software engineering design process. This process uses tools, methods, and principles to describe the behavior of the system and the restrictions that accompany it.
It's not a good idea to sit at your desk and immediately start writing code to develop the software product. We need a lot of planning before we start development. We need to break up the entire project into smaller, more manageable parts. These fragments are known as tasks. We can also perform disaggregated tasks for other issues related to product management that are not directly related to product development, such as promoting the application, organizing technical support, configuring servers and collecting analytical data.
Its goal is to shorten the system development lifecycle and provide continuous delivery with high-quality software. In the initial phase, all the basic questions are asked about how to perform a task or the steps necessary to carry it out. Also in this case, risk assessment and the ISO 9126 standard (software quality) serve as the basis for a renewed perspective and for doing so in a pragmatic or agile way, that is, creating a software product can be overwhelming because it has a large number of functions and those functions require analysis, design, coding and testing to turn them into software. DevOps complements agile software development; several aspects of DevOps stem from agile methodology. Dividing a software product into smaller, more manageable tasks is the key step in creating and planning a software product.
The review team that works together and validates requirements includes software engineers, customers, users, and other stakeholders. It's much easier to estimate how long it will take for developers to complete smaller tasks and then analyze the project as a whole and guess how long it will take.
