Features: Is the Unified Process the only process and standard process for object-oriented, component-based software development? This book is the first volume of a four-volume series that critiques the Unified Process. The author introduces alternative software processes and integrates the Unified Process with other software processes to form a more complete and robust process for handling real-world software development and product needs. After elaborating on a more complete Unified Process, each volume focuses on the experience and wisdom of master practitioners in implementing the various phases of the Unified Process (Inception, Elaboration, Construction, Transition, and Production). Gathering the collective wisdom of industry luminaries. Articles from Ellen Gottesdiener, Larry O'Brien, Steve McConnell, Larry Runge, Karl Wiegers, and others provide readers with insights on the following topics:
● How to develop and maintain large-scale, mission-critical software.
● How programming fits into the overall software development lifecycle.
● Techniques and skills to enhance your role (career).
And adopting best practices to address the details of implementing software processes in areas such as requirements, managing project risks, testing and measuring inputs, and selecting and configuring the right tools. Ensure project success with the right business use cases. Build a solid foundation for the project in the initial phase with effective architecture, realistic project plans, and a dedicated professional team. This book introduces the best practices your team can follow:
● Justify the system and development methodology.
● Identify the initial requirements of the system.
● Define the scope of the system.
● Determine the people, organizations, and external systems that interact with the system.
● Conduct initial risk assessments, scheduling, and system evaluations.
● Customize the Unified Process initially to meet your specific needs.
The content of this book is provided by the U.S. Software Development magazine. This four-volume set combines the rich software process experience of the two authors, the firsthand insights of over 10 industry luminaries, and excellent articles from Software Development and Computer Language magazines, proposing best practices for software development processes to guide readers in executing these processes effectively and efficiently. At the same time, the authors integrate the Unified Process with other software processes to form a more complete and robust Unified Process for handling real-world software development and product needs. This four-volume set introduces best practices corresponding to the four phases of the Unified Software Process: Inception, Elaboration, Construction, Transition, and Production. This book is the first volume, focusing on the best practices related to the Inception phase of the Unified Software Process. This book can serve as a reference for software project managers, software development engineers, process engineers, system engineers, and other professionals, as well as for students in computer-related fields at universities and colleges.
