Question

I just seen a job advert ask for "UP development methodologies"

What is it?

Or has the HT department got the job spec wrong.

Was it helpful?

Solution

I think it is referring to the "Unified process" set of methodologies. Check out this link.

Small summary taken from link:

The Unified Process is an iterative and incremental development process. The Elaboration, Construction and Transition phases are divided into a series of timeboxed iterations. (The Inception phase may also be divided into iterations for a large project.) Each iteration results in an increment, which is a release of the system that contains added or improved functionality compared with the previous release.

OTHER TIPS

There is no mistake ... UP means Unified Process..

UP is a genaral process framework...It should be customized/make it to be more concrete before to use it...Think it as an abstract class in object oriented programming :-)

People takes this "abstract" process framework, make it more concrete and adapt it to their situtaion...As a convention you put some prefix on it to show that this is customized version of that process framework...Rational as firm create this abstract process framework and then make their own concrete framework from it, put their firm capital letter R on it...So we get RUP :-)...To make analogy think RUP (Rational Unified Process) as a concrete subclass of abstract UP class :-)

But in practice Unified Process [UP] itself is so abstract that unless you are so experienced process guy or you have curiosity about "processes" you not bother with it...Generally you bother with its concrete implementation RUP etc...In practice so UP and RUP mean same thing...but in theory they may not...

Here is some UP development methodologies:

  • RUP ( Rational UP )
  • EssUP ( Essential Unified Process ) [ Ivar Ivar Jacobson]
  • AgileUP [ Scott W. Ambler ]

And maybe in the future you will create IUP which is Ian Ringrose^s UP :-)

Typo for Rational Unified Process (RUP) maybe?

I would guess UP means RUP - Rational Unified Process.

UP is a generic way of saying RUP (Rational Unified Process)

Check:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Process

UP, the Unified Process, is the process-side companion to UML.
