Iterative Development
This is a key technique to evolve ...
- from a high level idea
V1.0
- to a delivered product
- Incrementally.

What is a Prototype?
An incomplete part of the total solution
Used to learn more about what is required
Evolutionary (evolving into the final solution)
or disposable
V1.0
Evolutionary prototyping is the means of
developing the solution as a set of increments,
and learning by doing
The intent is to build something visible,
valuable and working as soon as possible

Iterative Development - Functional
Perspective
Focuses on functionality
V1.0
Developer demonstrates functional business
requirements
This checks developers understanding of user
requirements
Confirms building the right solution
IterativeDevelopment and Prototyping Topic 10 - 10.11
Iterative Development - Usability
Perspective
V1.0
Focuses on user interface
Illustrates solution ease of use
User tests ease of use of the solution
IterativeDevelopment and Prototyping Topic 10 - 10.12
Iterative Development - Non-
Functional Perspective
V1.0
Focuses on non-functional aspects (response time,
security etc.)
Solution developer tests that the solution meets
non-functional requirements

Capability/Technique Prototype
V1.0
Focuses on technical design options and functionality
Solution developer tests design approach and/or
development tool
This is often an Architectural Spike or Proof of Concept
