Abstract:

Feature Driven Development is a model-driven short-iteration process for managing the analysis, design and construction phases of a software project. Feature Driven Development was developed in 1998 by Jeff De Luca following on the back of work by Peter Coad on Feature Lists. I was fortunate to have worked on the team, together with Stephen Palmer, Phil Bradley and Paul Szego, as we developed the FDD method and used it to deliver a very large project. So far the published material on FDD focuses on its use with the business layer piece of the system. Back in 1998 we also adapted the method to accommodate presentation and system interface layers. However, the early implementations for these other layers were never wholely satisfactory. Over the last 2 years I have continued to refine and develop FDD for use with presentation layers. This paper will set out my latest thinking on FDD for UI.
