Introduction – Highlights of project "Zamger":
Started out as an application for personal use in teaching Becomes interesting to other colleagues Used in implementation of institutional QA policies Iterative and incremental approach used during development

Iterative and incremental approach
Iteration – development in steps, gradual product improvement Increment – independent part of product that is developed separately (e.g. by a team)

Iterative and incremental approach
Frequent confusion between terms "iterative" and "incremental" For successfull software development both are needed!
(Cockburn, 2008; Patton, 2007)

IID vs. Waterfall
"The attraction of [waterfall] is its simplicity" (Cauwenberghe, 2002) Waterfall makes it hard to make mistakes; IID requires training, both of managers and programmers (Larman, Basili, 2003)

Feature Driven Development (FDD)
Project is divided in parts (classes) by user functionalities, or features Each class has an owner
(Coad et al., 1999 *)

Open Source Software Development (OSSD)
Release early. Release often. User is involved in development process Developers are involved in all aspects of the project First iteration in a project is the most important one
(Raymond, 2002)

Overview of Zamger architecture
Each module is a rounded whole Registry.php – list of modules with access rights Framework deals with security, among else Library modules – offer features for other modules Core database structure is common, individual modules may have own tables (which simply remain empty if module isn't used)

Zamger development specificities
Relatively low urgency In-house development Some modules are mid-term / graduate student papers Web application

Zamger development specificities
Web app advantages: Deployment is practically free Bugs fixed "on the fly" Centralized data (backup!)

Zamger development lifecycle
1. User requirements gathering2. Requirements analysis and planning3. Module development4. "Live" system installation and incremental improvements

Zamger development lifecycle
3. Module development (e.g. by a student) a. detailed user requirements b. interface and interaction design c. functional prototype d. module development (coding) e. testing f. detailed documentation g. fixes and suggestions from project leader

Zamger development lifecycle
Average iteration lenght: 6 months Relatively long, but there are good reasons (and it wasn't a problem)
De-facto ownership of modules, but developers fix bugs everywhere

Analysis of IID approach in Zamger development
Each iteration is "final" release Bugs and features arise from usage ("instability" is an aftermath) Module = feature, completed within one iteration Core features in early iterations Unexpected changes and new features happen all the time – schedule extra time!

Conclusions and future work
A new reading of literature is offered Zamger project continues... Iteration planning process needs to be elaborated, with emphasis on the first iteration and its importance
