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. |
2) [DISPLAY7]<FileSystem_File.FullName>[ENDDISP8]
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! |
