The Most Important UP Idea: Iterative Development
5 important questions on The Most Important UP Idea: Iterative Development
What is the primary best practice promoted by UP?
- Short, fixed-length mini-projects called ITERATIONS
- Each iteration leads to a tested, integrated, and executable system
- Activities include requirements analysis, design, implementation, and testing
What does feedback from iteration N contribute to the next iteration N+1 in software development?
- Refinement of the requirements
- Adaptation of the design
- Improved functionality in the next iteration
What key activities are performed in a two-week iteration during a project?
- Distributing and clarifying tasks
- Reverse-engineering last iteration's code
- Pair design work and creating UML diagrams
- Implementation and testing (unit, acceptance, usability)
- Integration and system stabilization
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
How does the iterative and incremental development process manage the growth of a system?
- Implementing features incrementally
- Working in fixed-length iterations
- Allowing for adjustments based on feedback from previous iterations
What is the outcome of each iteration in the iterative and incremental development process?
- An executable but incomplete system
- Not ready for production deployment
- Requires multiple iterations (e.g., 10 to 15) for readiness
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
