Construction

The purpose of the construction phase is:

· To incrementally develop a complete software product that is ready for transition to the user community

· To assess releases

· To manage change

· To perform resource management and process improvement

Products of the construction phase are:

· Executable releases of increasing functionality

· Models of the system’s design and behavior

· User documentation

· Deployment documentation

· Evaluation criteria for each iteration

· Release descriptions, including quality assurance results

· Updated development plan

Evaluation is based on:

· Stability and maturity of product releases

· Readiness of stakeholders for transition to user community

· Actual expenditures versus planned

Symptom

Response

The trend of open defects is reaching near-zero towards the end of each construction iteration.

Development is stabilizing the product by the end of each construction iteration. This is good!

The number of open defects increases during each iteration.

Testing is finding defects and we’re fixing them.

Symptom

Response

LOTS of code was added at the beginning compared to the end.

This is good! The trend is that change is reducing during construction.

Symptom

Response

Requirements weren’t validated until the End!

This indicates a waterfall development process, not an iterative process!
