A NEW MILESTONE BASED METHOD FOR CLIENT/SERVER SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT

From the viewpoint of software engineering, traditional software developing life cycle （SDLC） is divided into several phases, such as user definition, requirement analysis, system design, system testing, etc.. This is a proper way for the design of standalone systems. But, in the developing environment of client/server systems, there are many components, which can be developed concurrently and interactively. Traditional methods can’t fully fit the features of client/server environments. A new developing method for client/server systems——the MILESTONE based procedure model is introduced.
