Version 1.0 FUP Framfab Unified Process From a technical perspective...

Agenda What does FUP do for us? Classical problems in software development Best practices in software development How does FUP help us with this? Other Project Deliverables FUPs technical workflows FUP vs. RUP A few practical things...

Classical Problems in Software Development Inaccurate understanding of end-user needs Inability to deal with changing requirements Modules dont fit together Software thats hard to maintain or extend Late discovery of serious project flaws Poor software quality Unacceptable software performance Framfab: Deployment

Best Practices for Successful System Development Develop Iteratively Manage Requirements Use Component-based architectures Model Software Visually Verify Software Quality Control Changes to Software

The Practice The Foundation The Toolbox FUP Roles and Deliverables to help: Manage Requirements Verify Software Quality Control Changes to Software Manage the Deployment Process Iterative Development Suggests visual modeling with UML How does FUP help us with this?

Iterative Development What does it mean? Divide development into increments Correct problems in earlier iteration in next iteration Build the most critical functions first

Example We want to build a system with the functions A, B, C, D, E and F A and D are essential (essential functions or essential to architecture) B and F are important C and E would be nice to have… We plan three iterations: #1: A and D #2: B and F #3: C and E Build the most critical functions first Correct problems in earlier iteration in next iteration

Example, continued... Create a description of what Create a description of how Build the function Test the function What? (A-F) How? (A-F) Build! (A-F) Test! (A-F) Waterfall A-F ADAD ADAD ADAD ADAD BFBF BFBF BFBF A,D B,F CECE CECE CECE A-F Iterative (Evolutionary)

Iterative Development System Analysis & Design Implementation & Integration Test Requirements Planning & Administration Client Analysis & Strategy Development Preliminary Iteration(s) Iter. #1 Iterations Iter. #2 Iter. #n Iter. #n+1 Iter. #n+2 Iter. #m Iter. #m+1 Acquisition: Demonstrate feasibility - sell! (Definition +) Elaboration: Find a sound architecture! Production: Build critical functions first Transition: Correct problems DefinitionElaborationProductionTransitionAcquisition

Iterative Development Attacks the Risks Early... Find problems in architecture early Find problems in requirements early Test the development cycle early Avoid big-bang integration Continuously test Possibly skip late iterations Iterate!

FUP vs. RUP The Practice The Foundation The Toolbox FUP FUP: Strategic roles added FUP: Communicative roles added FUP: Technical roles simplified FUP: Deliverables simplified FUP: Deliverables attached to milestones RUP: Workers = FUP: Roles RUP is not described in three levels RUP: Inception = FUP: Acquisition + Definition RUP: Construction = FUP: Production FUP: The Strategic Workflows added FUP: The Communicative Workflows added RUP: Strongly related to UML RUP: Workflows described in detail

A few practical things from a technical perspective... All projects need a person Responsible for Project Technology For smaller projects, this person can act as Responsible for Quality Assurance, Responsible for System Environment and Responsible for System Design as well Develop and follow an Iteration Plan Try to have at least two iterations during Production All deliverables should have one person responsible for it Responsible for establishment, approvals and updates Use versioning Plan for Testing and Deployment early Prove your architectural concepts! (Use component architectures and model visually)

Iterate!
