In This Lecture You Will Learn:
 About the Unified Software Develop-
ment Process
 How phases relate to workflows in an
iterative life cycle
 An approach to system development
 Major activities in the development
process

 Unified Software
Development Process
 Developed by the team that created
UML
 Embodies best practice in system
development
 Adopts an iterative approach with four
main phases
 Different tasks are captured in a series
of workflows
© Bennett, McRobb and Farmer 2002 3
 Best Practice
 Iterative and incremental development
 Component-based development
 Requirements-driven development
 Configurability
 Architecture-centrism
 Visual modelling techniques

© Bennett, McRobb and Farmer 2002 4

 Four Phases
 Inception
 Elaboration
 Construction
 Transition

© Bennett, McRobb and Farmer 2002 5

 Phases, Workflows
and Iterations
 Within each phase activities are
grouped into workflows
 The balance of effort spent in each
workflow varies from phase to phase
 Within phases there may be more than
one iteration

 Difference from
Waterfall Life Cycle
 In a waterfall life cycle project the phases and
the workflows are linked together
 In the Requirements phase, only
Requirements workflow activities are carried
out
 All Requirements activity should be completed
before work starts on Analysis
 In an iterative life cycle project it is
recognised that some Requirements work will
be happening alongside Analysis work
