Agile Method
The agile model focuses on process adaptability and customer satisfaction by rapid delivery of working software product
Every iteration involves cross functional teams working simultaneously on planning, requirements analysis, design, coding, unit testing, and acceptance testing
Design: This is the phase in which a team will begin to design the programs needed to complete the user stories that are to be finished during that specific sprint. With Agile methodology, the design phase will be returned to many times during the Sprint after testing and development continues to improve.
Test: Testing is the phase in which the developers test what they currently have done for the sprint to see where to go from their current position. Again, with the Agile methodology, testing will be continuously done throughout the sprint to ensure that the program being created works smoothly throughout the sprint, not just at the end as in the Waterfall methodology.
Develop: The development phase is done after testing and is done to critique and improve what has been tested thus far in the sprint. Like the other phases, development will also continually be referred back to and improved upon as the sprint continues.
Integrate: After unit testing is done, the integration phase of the Agile methodology to have the program improved upon and added to. As the sprint continues on, there will be more integration along with all of the other phases in the Agile lifecycle.
