«An agile method is an iterative and incremental approach, handled in a collaborative spirit with the minimal formalism required.

It generates a product with high quality while taking into account the evolution of customer need.»

Working Software:

• Testable

• Excutable

Test early

fail fast

•Agility believes that requirements are difficult for users.

•Users cannot articulate or define and may not even know what they want.

• Partial delivery can stimulate more and better requirements (in evolutionary fashion).

• Facilitate the change in the expression of needs

•Changes should be able to be made without interrupting the operation of the system.

•New types of data should be able to be added in a dynamic manner at execution.
