| 19 | | Sophie2's development process will take about 1 year. This period is split into 12 shorter ones, called "iterations" (each iteration lasts about a month). The first five iterations' names begin with PRE, and this is the time when the project structure and its core are formed. The next 3 iterations begin with ALPHA, the next 3 with BETA, and then is the FINAL release. During this 1 year are scheduled totally 2000 tasks, which are rather part of the development process. |
| | 19 | Sophie2's development process will take about 1 year, starting from October 2008. This period is split into 12 shorter ones, called "iterations" (each iteration lasts about a month). During this time, more than 1500 tasks are going to be done. Every task has 3 major phases: analysis (defining what will be done), design (defining how to be done) and implementation (the actual work). The release schedule of the project is defined as follows: |
| | 20 | * '''pre''' - iterations 1-5. At the end of this phase, the product must have stable internal architecture (this includes mainly the plugin decomposition). |
| | 21 | * '''alpha''' - iterations 6-8. Massive changes are expected here, but only external ones. After the end of the alphas, we will stop adding new features. |
| | 22 | * '''beta''' - iterations 9-11. All the features included until this period will be finished here. Most of the bugfixing will be done, too. |
| | 23 | * '''final''' - iteration 12. Final bugfixing. |
