feature-driven development (FDD)

Question 21

The_ is an approach to continuously improving a concept, design, or product. Creators produce a prototype, test it, tweak it, and repeat the cycle with the goal of getting closer to the solution.
Iterative model is an alternative to the Waterfall approach, which relies on sequential steps.

Answer 21

Iterative process

Question 22

The iterative process refines a product through repeated adjustment cycles. In math, an _ identifies the solution to a problem based on an initial guess. Then, you introduce a sequence of algorithms to find the answer.

Answer 22

Iterative Procedure

Question 23

Here are some of the specific benefits of Iterative Process:

Answer 23

It’s efficient
It’s timely
It’s cost-effective
It’s collaborative
It improves usability
It eliminates confusion
It’s easier to manage risk
It offers continual improvement

Question 24

You can build your product step-by-step, rather than having to rework an entire plan as changes occur. In addition, the workload of the team is spread out more effectively throughout the project’s development lifecycle.

Answer 24

It’s efficient

Question 25

The first iteration allows you to develop the top priority in functionality. Each iteration is based on any improvements identified in the past cycle, and continual testing gives you a clear picture of the status of your project. You can see the results early and often because each iteration is a managed milestone.

Answer 25

It's timely

Question 26

Any changes to the project's scope or requirements, which are common in most projects, are less costly than with a Waterfall approach.

Answer 26

It's cost-effective

Question 27

You can present the results of each iteration to stakeholders and clients. They can see the evolution of the project and ensure that you are meeting their requirements.

Answer 27

It's collaborative

Question 28

Testing and debugging are easier with smaller iterations, as you can identify defects early in the process and users and customers are involved with each iteration.

Answer 28

It improves usability

Question 29

You can detect inconsistencies or flaws in requirements, design, code, and other implementations with each iteration, so you can avoid misunderstandings.

Answer 29

It eliminates confusion

Question 30

You tackle the high-risk portions of a project first, and every iteration lets you identify and resolve risks.

Answer 30

It's easier to manage risk

Question 31

Each iteration allows the team to easily incorporate any lessons learned from previous runs and continually improve the development process.

Answer 31

It offers continual improvement

Question 32

How Does the Iterative Process Work?

Answer 32

Step One: Planning and Requirements Step Two: Analysis and Design Step Three: Implementation Step Four: Testing Step Five: Evaluation and review

Question 32

In this stage, map out the initial requirements, gather the related documents, and create a plan and timeline for the first iterative cycle.

Answer 32

Step One: Planning and Requirements

Question 33

Finalize the business needs, database models, and technical requirements based on the plan. Create a working architecture, schematic, or algorithm that satisfies your requirements.

Answer 33

Step Two: Analysis and Design

Question 34

Develop the functionality and design required to meet the specifications.

Answer 34

Step Three: Implementation

Question 35

Identify and locate what’s not working or performing to expectations. Stakeholders, users, and product testers weigh in with their experience.

Answer 35

Step Four: Testing

Question 36

Compare this iteration with the requirements and expectations.

Answer 36

Step Five: Evaluation and Review

Question 37

Iterative Development Process

Answer 37

Step One: Requirements Step Two: Analysis Step Three: Design Step Four: Coding

Question 38

Because you are working on one section — or iteration — of the product, you need to identify the software or hardware requirements for this section. Be clear about who is going to use the system and how will they use it. Identify the objective or task of the product you’re developing, especially if you are working from a project control list. Define what qualifies as a successful outcome for this new section of software.

Answer 38

Step One: Requirements

Question 39

Review the requirements to identify and resolve any incomplete, ambiguous, or contradictory expectations. Know what data you should include to produce the software and what data the software will output.

Answer 39

Step Two: Analysis

Question 40

Use the final requirement specifications to design the software. Construct the schematics that describe the software behavior, business process, interface layout, and functionality.

Answer 40

Step Three: Design

Question 41

Using the software design documents, produce the code that creates the output you identified in the requirements and analysis.

Answer 41

Step Four: Coding

Question 42

Iterative Design Process

Answer 42

Step One: User Observation and Research. Step Two: Ideate. Step Three: Prototype. Step Four: Analyze.

Question 43

The first question designers ask: "What is the problem we are trying to solve?" You must understand users and analyze their habits to know what you will design and develop.

Answer 43

Step One: User Observation and Research

Question 44

In this phase, you and your team can start generating ideas that address the problem you identified through your research.

Answer 44

Step Two: Ideate

Question 45

In this "build" phase, your team creates an early example of your product. You will use this to test concepts or systems that you are considering for the final design.

Answer 45

Step Three: Prototype

Question 46

It's time to gather feedback about your design. Ask users to test the prototype, gather feedback on what works and what doesn't, and evaluate how well your assumptions met their needs.

Answer 46

Step Four: Analyze

Question 47

Many software and web applications rely on the iterative _ process because it gives developers more flexibility. Typically, the system development life cycle (SDLC) uses iterative development alongside incremental development. As the system is developed, SDLC becomes increasingly complex.

Answer 47

Iterative Development Process

Question 48

A variation of the iterative model, the iterative _ process allows designers to create, test, analyze, and refine ideas quickly during any phase of the design process. This process, called rapid prototyping or spiral prototyping, allows designers to find success more quickly and involve stakeholders and clients more effectively.

Iterative Design Process
