实践：演化设计

This practice describes an approach to design that assumes that the design will evolve over time, minimizing documentation while still providing guidance for making design decisions and communicating those decisions.

The Evolutionary Design practice reduces time-to-market for agile teams by incrementally formulating the design while implementing the software. It improves productivity, innovation, and time-to-market by leveraging refactoring and patterns to improve quality and maximizing reuse opportunities.

背景

The application of evolutionary, iterative, and incremental development methods for software dates back to the 1950s. Evolutionary development is an alternative to a waterfall process. In the waterfall process, each past step or phase in the process was considered complete before moving on to the next. The waterfall implies it is not possible to re-enter previous phases to perform rework on any part of the project. The evolutionary design process realizes a solution by enhancing and changing its structure and capabilities incrementally. This practice fits well within the framework of an incremental, iterative or spiral development process, but can be used in any methodology.

主要描述

The Essence of Evolutionary Design

During each pass of the design, you will add, refine, and refactor your solution. The following steps summarize the evolutionary design practice:

Understand new requirement details
Identify design elements
Determine how elements collaborate to realize the scenario
Refine design decisions
Design internals
Communicate the design
Understand the architecture
Evaluate the design

如何读取该实践

Become familiar with its overall structure. Be sure that you understand what it is in it and how it is organized.

Review all of the key concepts to understand the terminology used in this practice, including:

Read the Task：设计解决方案 to understand what needs to be done. Finally, review the associated guidelines for more information on the overall workflow.
