UNIFIED PROCESS VARIATIONS

What is it?

• The Unified Process (UP), or Unified Software Development Process, is an iterative and incremental software development framework form which a custmized process can be defined. The framework contains many components and has been modified a number of times to create several varations.
• CHARACTERISTICS:
• * It is an iterative and incremental development framework.
• *Is is architecture-centric with major work being done to define and validate an architectual design for most coding is done.
• *It is risk-focused and emphasizes that highets-risk factors be addressed in the aerliest deliverables possible.
• *It is use-case and UML model driven.

Slide 3

• THOSE BEST PRACTICES ARE:
• 1.- Develop Software Iteratively.
• 2.- Manage Requirements.
• 3.- Use Component-based Architectures.
• 4.- Visually Model Software.
• 5.- Verify Software Quality.
• 6.- Control Changes to Software.
• HISTORY:
• UnifiedProcess began with work Ivar Jacobson did at Ericsson in the 1960's.
• In 1996 Rational Software acquired the Objectory Process and company.
• In 1998, Rational changed the name from the Rational Objectory Process to the Rational Unified Process.
• By 1999, the first book to describe the generic Unified Process was written by Jacobson, Booch, and Rumbaugh.

Slide 4

• The Unified Process framework is made up of the following components:
• *Cycles.
• *Phases.
• *Iterations.
• *Disciplines (also known as Workflows)
• *Activities.
• *Artifacts.
• *Workers.
• The disciplines are:
• *Business Modeling.
• *Requirements.
• *Analysis and Design.
• *Implementation.
• *Testing.
• *Deployment.
• *Configuration and Change Management.
• *Project Management.
• *Environment.
