	INCREMENTAL DEVELOPMENT AND DELIVERY COMPARED WITH OTHER MODELS
		Incremental development is the development of a system in a series of partial products, generally with increasing functionality, throughout the project timescale; incremental delivery gives those increments to the users when they are completed.
		Incremental development is the construction of a software system in a series of small mini-life-cycles, rather than construction in one large monolithic life cycle.
		Incremental development is not an alternative to applying life cycle discipline; the phases of the life cycle still need to be followed in the right order and with all of the associated controls.

	Incremental Development
		Software development projects of any size are always implemented in a progressive and incremental manner.
		While this detracts somewhat from the "ideal" of progressive development, because backtracking to a previous step may be needed, it still enormously better than the alternative method of dealing with all of the code (and all of the bugs and interactions) in one huge, and usually unsuccessful, step.
		In other cases, the developer might decide to master the high risk parts first to gain confidence that unknown difficulties in these parts will arise late in the project when changes to large parts of the already developed code might have to be made to accommodate the components that involve the high risk.

	Incremental Development
		Incremental Development is based on use cases or use case flows which define working pieces of functionality at the user level.
		In an increment, the models required to develop a working software increment are each incremented until a working, tested executing piece of software is produced with incremental functionality.
		Allows risks to the project to be addressed incrementally and reduced early in the lifecycle.

	Software Craftsmanship Inc.: Incremental Development
		Once the development team has managed to release something, the people who use the application on a daily basis are in an ideal position to guide the evolution of the application.
		When it comes to developing high priority items, efficient use of developer resources is not the driving goal, shortening the elapsed time from request to release is the driving goal.
		This means that developers have to use incremental development before the initial release to the users.

	Cleanroom Software Engineering
		Incremental development as practiced in Cleanroom provides a basis for statistical quality control of the development process.
		Each increment is a complete iteration of the process, and measures of performance in each increment (feedback) are compared with preestablished standards to determine whether or not the process is "in control." If quality standards are not met, testing of the increment ceases and developers return to the design stage.
		In a large project, multiple small teams may be formed, with one for the development of each subsystem, thus enabling concurrent engineering after the top-level architecture has been established.

	Incremental development with Ant and JUnit
		Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) now display errors as you type your code, have intel-sense for quick look-up of a method in a class, use syntax coloring, and have many other features.
		This point alone is reason enough to require that the developer responsible for writing the target class be responsible for developing the test, and not someone else.
		This separation also helps eliminate the temptation of developers to take advantage of internal class features that may not be there in the future.

	SC.2 Incremental Development
		The incremental procedure is based on the basic idea that a system is planned as a whole but realized in parts-with a constant, step-by-step increase in functionality.
		The incremental procedure expects that the essential aspects of the user requirements can be collected at the beginning of the development, and that it is possible to design, develop, introduce and to use the entire system in various subsections or increments (builds).
		The sequence of the SD activities in an incremental development is illustrated in Figure SC.1.

	GameDev.net - Incremental Development (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The whole idea behind incremental development is to keep the time between compiles as short as possible.
		Obviously incremental development emphasizes constant compiles, but the problem is deciding when to compile.
		There is a point where incremental development can actually become time inefficient, and that's when you spend more time compiling than coding or debugging.

	Demonstrating Incremental System Development with Professional Tools
		The tools are intended for professional development of real-time systems, and are particularly powerful in their support for design modeling.
		While the toolset had been initially developed with that application area in mind and matches its requirements very well, the fact that students were concurrently learning the modeling domain and modeling tools introduced too much uncertainty into the learning process.
		In developing a simple system model, powerful high-level design tools do not offer enough advantage over direct modeling in a familiar programming language, in which the students are already proficient, and the main point of the exercise could be missed.

	Iterative, Incremental Development (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		It already focuses on incremental analysis and design to avoid the high complexity that is introduced by a large upfront analysis and design phase and to allow the adoption to changing requirements.
		Later, within each development cycle, the conceptual model is incrementally refined and extended for the requirements under consideration within that cycle.
		The disadvantage of the incremental process are the too high expectations of the customer and managment because of early visibile (user interface) prototypes or releases created.

	JOT: Journal of Object Technology - Incremental Development Using Object Oriented Frameworks: A Case Study
		We show how such an incremental approach to implementing GA systems not only leads to code reuse but also to reuse of the effort involved in reasoning about the behavior of such systems.
		Thus the framework implements behavior that is common to the various applications that may be built on it, and the individual application enriches the common behavior as appropriate to the particular application by defining the hook methods appropriately.
		Developing ways to reason about probabilistic behavior will, we believe, become increasingly important as such algorithms are more widely used.

		Both agile and plan-driven developers might agree that the question of system performance under load is an important MFI issue, and so both might agree to spend money early to build a simple system simulator and load generator to stress-test the design.
		A team of developers charged with creating a proof-of-concept system does not have to worry about the damage caused by a system malfunction in the same way that a team charged with developing a final production system to be produced in vast quantities does.
		Many of the best developers are very disciplined in their actions without using formal methods or documents.

	History Of Iterative (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Although evolutionary, iterative and incremental development (IID) in software is in the ascendance as the ‘modern’ or ‘agile’ approach to replace ad hoc or waterfall (sequential lifecycle) development, its practiced and published roots go back surprisingly far.
		Clearly, Mills suggests iterative refinement for the development phase, but there is no mention of avoidance of a large up-front specification step, length of iterations, or an emphasis on feedback and adaptation-driven development from each iteration.
		Each iteration was analyzed from the both the user’s and developer’s point of view and the feedback influenced both the language requirements and design changes for future iterations.
