Iterative Model
WHAT IS ITERATIVE MODEL? Iterative development is a way of breaking down the software development of a large application into smaller chunks. In iterative development, feature code is designed, developed and tested in repeated cycles. With each iteration, additional features can be designed, developed and tested until there is a fully functional software application ready to be deployed to customers. Typically iterative development is used in conjunction with incremental development in which a longer software development cycle is split into smaller segments that build upon each other. Iterative and incremental development are key practices in Agile development methodologies. In Agile methodologies, the shorter development cycle, referred to as an iteration or sprint, is time-boxed (limited to a certain increment of time, such as two weeks). At the end of the iteration, working code is expected that can be demonstrat...
