Chapter 66:
Q1: By linking the generation together to form a family tree to give structure to it.
Exercises:
1. a) This is where the stages of software development are not completed in a linear
sequence, with different parts being developed/tested at the same time. Prototypes are
built which are evaluated and improved until customer satisfaction.
b) This allows for improvements to be easily made and is more efficient as non-vital features
are not implemented which distracts time and energy.
2. a) How many courses will be used within the system, who are the primary users of the
system and how is the system is expected to grow?
b) Requirements are gathered, a prototype is built, the prototype is evaluated and refined,
this process repeats until the prototype satisfies the customer, the final system is then
created.
