Software development processIn software engineering, a software development process is a process of planning and managing software development. It typically involves dividing software development work into smaller, parallel, or sequential steps or sub-processes to improve design and/or product management. It is also known as a software development life cycle (SDLC). The methodology may include the pre-definition of specific deliverables and artifacts that are created and completed by a project team to develop or maintain an application.
Processus unifiéLe processus unifié (PU), ou « unified process (UP) » en anglais, ou « Unified Software Development Process (USDP) » est une famille de méthodes de développement de logiciels orientés objets. Elle se caractérise par une démarche itérative et incrémentale, pilotée par les cas d'utilisation, et centrée sur l'architecture et les modèles UML. Elle définit un processus intégrant toutes les activités de conception et de réalisation au sein de cycles de développement composés d'une phase de création, d'une phase d'élaboration, d'une phase de construction et d'une phase de transition, comprenant chacune plusieurs itérations.
Agile modelingAgile modeling (AM) is a methodology for modeling and documenting software systems based on best practices. It is a collection of values and principles, that can be applied on an (agile) software development project. This methodology is more flexible than traditional modeling methods, making it a better fit in a fast changing environment. It is part of the agile software development tool kit. Agile modeling is a supplement to other agile development methodologies such as Scrum, extreme programming (XP), and Rational Unified Process (RUP).
Rational unified processThe rational unified process (RUP) is an iterative software development process framework created by the Rational Software Corporation, a division of IBM since 2003. RUP is not a single concrete prescriptive process, but rather an adaptable process framework, intended to be tailored by the development organizations and software project teams that will select the elements of the process that are appropriate for their needs. RUP is a specific implementation of the Unified Process.
