Spiral Development Activity

1. Conceptual specifications are partitioned into functional subsystems capable of carrying out a workable portion of the concept. Conceptual specifications always deal in "what must be accomplished," never in "how we accomplish something." Such "conceptual integrity provides a major enabler for reuse." [Schultz 9406]
   
2. Dependencies (or responsibilities) between these subsystems are identified, constrained by the minimum necessary integration with existing systems.
   
3. Individual subsystems are prototyped in dependent order, so that each one can be tested independently.
   
4. After prototyping, new concepts and possible subsystems are identified, which are rapidly accepted and are integrated, or rejected, or partially accepted.
   
5. Certain commonality is identified (subject to time constraints), and the resulting subsystems are contracted into common reusable units.
