-00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,430

-The next process model I want to discuss is evolutionary

-

-2

-00:00:02,430 --> 00:00:05,786

-prototyping, which works in four main phases. We start

-

-3

-00:00:05,786 --> 00:00:08,393

-from an initial concept, then we design and implement

-

-4

-00:00:08,393 --> 00:00:11,509

-a prototype based on this initial concept, refine the prototype

-

-5

-00:00:11,509 --> 00:00:14,002

-until it is acceptable, and finally we complete and

-

-6

-00:00:14,002 --> 00:00:17,550

-release the prototype. Therefore, when developing a system using

-

-7

-00:00:17,550 --> 00:00:22,330

-evolutionary prototyping, the system is continually refined and rebuilt.

-

-8

-00:00:22,330 --> 00:00:25,340

-So it is an ideal process when not all requirements

-

-9

-00:00:25,340 --> 00:00:28,330

-are well understood. Which is a very common situation. So, looking

-

-10

-00:00:28,330 --> 00:00:30,370

-at this in a little more details, what happens is that

-

-11

-00:00:30,370 --> 00:00:33,760

-developers start by developing the parts of the system that they

-

-12

-00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,690

-understand, instead of working on developing a whole system, including parts

-

-13

-00:00:37,690 --> 00:00:40,520

-that might not be very clear at that stage. The partial

-

-14

-00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,900

-system is then shown to the customer and the customer feedback

-

-15

-00:00:43,900 --> 00:00:47,480

-is used to drive the next iteration, in which either changes

-

-16

-00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:50,340

-are made to the current features or new features are added.

-

-17

-00:00:50,340 --> 00:00:53,060

-So, either the current prototype is improved or the

-

-18

-00:00:53,060 --> 00:00:56,270

-prototype is extended. And finally, when the customer agrees that

-

-19

-00:00:56,270 --> 00:00:58,980

-the prototype is good enough, the developers will complete all

-

-20

-00:00:58,980 --> 00:01:01,410

-the remaining work on the system and release the prototype

-

-21

-00:01:01,410 --> 00:01:03,930

-as the final product. So let's discuss as we did

-

-22

-00:01:03,930 --> 00:01:06,780

-for the previous process models, what are the main advantages

-

-23

-00:01:06,780 --> 00:01:10,580

-and disadvantages of evolutionary prototyping. In this case, the main

-

-24

-00:01:10,580 --> 00:01:15,440

-advantage is the immediate feedback. Developers get feedback immediately as

-

-25

-00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,560

-soon as they produce a prototype and they show it to

-

-26

-00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,050

-the customer and therefore, the risk of implementing the wrong system is

-

-27

-00:01:21,050 --> 00:01:25,150

-minimized. The main negative is the fact that it's difficult to plan.

-

-28

-00:01:25,150 --> 00:01:29,070

-When using evolutionary prototype it is difficult to plan in advance how

-

-29

-00:01:29,070 --> 00:01:31,240

-long the development is going to take, because we don't know how

-

-30

-00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,550

-many iterations will be needed. And another drawback is that it can

-

-31

-00:01:34,550 --> 00:01:37,120

-easily become an excuse to do kind of do cut and fix

-

-32

-00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,530

-kind of approaches in which we hack something together, fix the main

-

-33

-00:01:40,530 --> 00:01:43,640

-issues when the customer gives us feedback, and then continue this

-

-34

-00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,780

-way, until the final product is something that is kind of

-

-35

-00:01:46,780 --> 00:01:49,830

-working, but it's not really a product of high quality. Something

-

-36

-00:01:49,830 --> 00:01:51,910

-else I want to point out before we move to the next

-

-37

-00:01:51,910 --> 00:01:54,490

-software process model is that there are many different kinds of

-

-38

-00:01:54,490 --> 00:01:56,700

-prototyping, so evolutionary prototyping is just

-

-39

-00:01:56,700 --> 00:01:58,010

-one of them. For example, throwaway

-

-40

-00:01:58,010 --> 00:02:02,100

-prototyping is another kind of prototyping in which the prototype is

-

-41

-00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:05,580

-just used to gather requirements, but is thrown away at the end

-

-42

-00:02:05,580 --> 00:02:08,710

-of the requirements gathering, instead of being evolved as it happens here.
