KCard : Iterative processes

Iterative and incremental
Today's most advanced and efficient software
development processes are iterative and incremental. These processes attempt
to solve the software development issues by providing beta users versions of
the software incrementally (with more and more functionalities) on a regular
basis. The users in return provide regular and frequent feedback in order to
readjust the development as required. The two main different approaches to iterative and
incremental development are presented in additional KCards.
These two approaches seem quite different but they become very similar in
most cases (99%) and when applied in the most optimal fashion. Talking about processes, we use the term static to
refer to whatever constitutes the process independently from its application
and dynamic for the actual application of the process on a project. This
should not be confused with the Unified Process's tailoring which is a
customisation of the static framework to a given situation, which yields a
customised static framework which will then be applied on the project, this
later being the dynamic aspect. |
