The process of incremental integrated system development

摘要

The author describes a generalized product framework and process currently being used to support development of integrated system and software products for generalized information management system solutions as applied to electrical distribution management systems for electric utilities. The process provides for iterative prototyping for refinement of incomplete and/or ambiguous system and software requirements, incremental development and delivery planning, and object-oriented design philosophies. It evolved to its current state over two and a half years of actual use.
