is a software development process which is a iterative and incremental development framework.
the Unified Process divided the the project into four phases:
- Inception : to set up the business and project goal
- Elaboration : find out risk factors and establish the system architecture
- Construction : system features are implemented for several iterations
- Transition : a system is deployed to target users
2. Characteristics of UP
- Iterative and incremental
- Use case driven : define the scope(inception), functionality
- Architecture aware : 3 tier architecture(presentation, application, services layer)
