RUP

RUP

1. Use-case and requirements driven

   • Development process initated by use cases
   • Designs are developed from use cases
   • Test cases are derived from use cases

2. Architecture centric

   • Baseline Design
     • E.g. user-interface standard or error processing
     • Transcends all the use cases
     • Further refined to accommodate major use cases

3. Iterative and incremental

   • 1st Iteration: Include all use cases or requirements
   • 2nd Iteration: Handle all the most important risks in chosen increment
   • Successive Iterations: Build upon results of prev iterations

4. Phases

   • Inception
     • Objectives
       • Establish scope and clarify goals of software project
       • Establish critical use cases and major scenarios that will drive architecture and design
       • Establish some architecture and early design alternatives
       • Establish schedule and required resources
       • Plan the implementation, testing, integration and configuration methodologies
       • Estimate the potential risks
   • Elaboration
     • Formulate use cases
     • Objectives
       • Establish all major and critical requirements for the system
       • Establish and demonstrate the baseline design
       • Establish the implementation, test, and integration platforms and methodologies
       • Establish the major test scenarios
       • Establish the measurement and metrics for the agreed-upon goals
   • Construction
     • Build, code and test
     • Objectives
       • Complete implementation in a timely manner within estimated cost
       • Achieve version of the code that is releasable to restricted set of Alpha test sites
       • Establish the remaining activities that need to be completed to achieve goals of project
   • Transition
     • Release for alpha testing
     • Objectives
       • Establish the final software product for general release
       • Establish user readiness and acceptance of the software
       • Establish support readiness
       • Gain concurrence for release and deployment
