Note: the sample project is
at the end of the second of three construction iterations. The chart discussed below will not be
particularly useful until the project is in transition.
The purpose of the
transition phase is:
·
To transition the
software product to the user community
·
To create a number of
releases including
1. Beta releases
2. General availability releases
3. Bug fix and enhancement releases
·
To train users,
technical support, etc.
·
To assess against the
acceptance criteria for the product
The products of the
transition phase are:
·
Executable releases
·
Updated system models
·
Release descriptions,
including quality assurance results
·
Updated user manuals
·
Updated deployment
documentation
·
Project Close-Out Plan
portion of the Software Development Plan
Evaluation is based on:
·
Satisfaction of user
·
Actual expenditures
versus planned
1) [DISPLAY2]<FileSystem_File.FullName>[ENDDISP3]
Symptom |
Response |
We will hope to see a leveling-off of new defects found during transition. |
This will indicate that most defects were found during earlier iterations. |
2) [DISPLAY7]<FileSystem_File.FullName>[ENDDISP8]
Symptom |
Response |
The trend of open defects should decrease during transition. |
You are nearing release. |
3) [DISPLAY12]<FileSystem_File.FullName>[ENDDISP13]
Symptom |
Response |
An externally found defect was filed during the Construction phase! |
Good. This indicates that development is getting early exposure to real customers. |
