Document Summary
Chapter 2 - iterative development and the unified process. 2. 1 what is the up: the unified process (up) is an iterative process. Iterative development influences how this book introduces ooa/d, and how it is best practiced: up practices provide an example structure for how to do and thus how to explain ooa/d. That structure shapes the book structure: the up is flexible, and can be applied in a light weight and agile approach that includes practices from other agile methods (such as xp or scrum)more on this later. A key practise in both the up and most other modern methods is iterative development. Each set of mini projects are called iterations and each iteration has its own requirements analysis, design, implementation, and testing activities. After multiple iterations, there is will be also cyclic feedback and adaptions. Early iterative process ideas were known as spiral development and evolutionary development. As the system grows incrementally it is called iterative and incremental development.
