Learn how to apply agile methods in the development of real-time and embedded systems.
* Introduces the Harmony Process, the first agile method that fully reflects the unique challenges of real-time/embedded systems.
* Learn to continuously validate analysis and design models and optimize processes throughout project execution.
* Apply MDA in an agile fashion
* By Bruce Powel Douglass, a renowned expert on improving real-time and embedded systems development.
Real-time and embedded systems face the same challenges as traditional software development: shrinking budgets and shorter timeframes. However, these systems can be even more difficult to develop successfully, due to their additional requirements for timeliness, minimal resource usage, safety, and high reliability - and in some cases, their requirements to support rigorous industry standards. In Real-Time Agility , leading embedded systems consultant Bruce Powel Douglass reveals how to leverage the best practices of agile development to address all of these challenges. Douglass introduces the Harmony Process, a proven, start-to-finish approach to software development that can reduce costs, save time -- and most importantly, eliminate potential defects. Replete with examples, this book serves as an ideal tutorial in agile methods for real-time/embedded systems developers. It has been designed to serve equally well as a reference guide that professionals can rely on while they're 'in the heat of battle,' working to move a project forward to a successful conclusion.
