Agile Development with Stepwise Feature Introduction

Abstract

The paper evaluates the Stepwise Feature Introduction paradigm, an organised method for constructing layered, reusable, object-oriented software systems. Based on our research adapted the paradigm to construction of large-scale software systems. In particular, we added a dedicated, agile development process to the paradigm and examined strategies for execution and testing. Correctness concerns of the produced system are also covered in this paper. We also briefly analyse the impact of the paradigm on the quality of the developed software.
