    Is Extreme Programming methodology and Incremental development methodology same? Are both of them considered as a agile methodology? Can i use term agile methodology for incremental development approach or not? I am confused about one thing. In XP, a prototype is build over n over until its complete. Where as in incremenatl development, each module/prototype is developed seperately and added together by the end. So which one is it really. Quite confused about these. I think they both are same. Please let me know the right answer. Thank u Julia :)

        Have you thought of using Google. They do have a rather good search engine able to find almost anything you ask of it. If your exam is coming up, you had better get your skates on, and google is awaiting your key presses. Unless you need a tutorial on how to use google.

          I don't get it. Why are you so hung up on terminology? All of these terms get used for different things by different people, and the only thing that's consistent is that none of them are a panacea for producing a quality product on-time and under-budget. It's worth remembering that all of these concepts are applied upon tasks that are incredibly malleable, and can generally be accomplished in any number of ways by someone with skill and understanding.

            you are not getting my point. I know it depends upon individual which method he wants to follow. I am just asking if i say incremental development, does it also refer to extreme programming or agile methodology. Or is it completely different. Like i can say waterfall model and incremental model is completely different approach. And i know difference between them and here i just want to know the difference between incremental development and extreme programming(if there is any). I hope you got my point. thanks

              No google is not helping me out. :( I cant find difference between incremental development and extreme programming. I think both are same and both are part of agile methodology. They just have two different name and what do you think gentleman ? thanks

                Basically, it boils down to this, Vista is the birth of a new version of Windows. Natal, as you may know, refers to a birth. Increment means go to the next. So Incremenatal Programming is done for Vista, while we continue to use XP for Windows XP. Good luck on the exam.

                  You can say waterfall doesn't include incremental development. You might be wrong though. Nothing stops you from combining the two.

                    Let's say for instance, the development was done in modules. Each module was done seperately with different time scale n etc.and later they were combined together. So after looking over the development method..can i can say this "I have used agile methodology, and xp is a type of agile methodolgy which includes incremental development. And this is what i followed" Please comment on above. Thank you very much dear shog :)

                      You can say it. Depending on who you're talking to, they might believe you. But there's a lot more to agile than incremental development and orthogonal (modular) design. If you were talking to a gung-ho Agiler, they probably wouldn't buy it, pointing to things like trying to keep a working system available in all but the earliest stages of development, or the importance of bringing customers in early and often to collect feedback.

                          of course the real test is how many people notices the difference in the same paragraph between "agile" and "Agile". I program agile, not Agile, because my business is agile; now I could have done Agile, but that wouldn't be as agile in an agile developement, because Agile isn't agile enough for truly agile environments. BTW, anyone feel free to quote me to your professor if you don't mind him assigning you extra revenge work. :laugh: :laugh:

                                Exactly. I think some of these terms were really geared to non-technical managers who have a clouded illusion that having a quality product and coming in under budget and on time is a possible feat. In my 15+ years of programming/developing, I have never heard of a high quality product be on time and under budget together.

                                  Julia - I'm going to give you one piece of advice here. Stop thinking of methodologies as discrete items that actually mean much. Frequently, these methodologies are just subtle variations of another methodology, with new terminology thrown in to hide the fact that there's not much new in there at all. In my company, we don't practice methodologies. We design and develop software using the quickest methods we can that include full documentation and development consultation. Blind adherence to methodologies tends to get in the way of actually delivering software.

                                      It depends what she was putting in. If she wanted information about incremental versus iterative development and put in "nice red shoes" then she was never going to get help.

                                        Yes, obviously she can't figure out to put in the same words she put into her post here. That was my point. :doh: It seems to me that anyone wanting to know anything about Agile and has not yet found Amblers site just isn't looking.

                                          Hell - even Wikipedia has an article or two.
