When development and evolution are integrated within the same team, what does change implementation essentially become?

An entirely separate discipline requiring different programming languages

A process that requires complete suspension of all customer feedback

A purely manual process with no design or testing activities

Simply an iteration of the development process, where revisions are designed, implemented, and tested

Correct Answer

Simply an iteration of the development process, where revisions are designed, implemented, and tested

Explanation

When development and evolution are integrated, change implementation is simply another iteration of the development process. Revisions are designed, implemented, and tested in the same way as the original system, with the addition that customer feedback after delivery must now be considered.
