+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.
