Abstract

With the increase in use of web based applications in different fields, the competition for providing secure efficient and quality software increases with a demand for decreased cost of the product. To improve the product development process in environment of the ever dynamic customer requirement and to meet the quality parameters of the software products many in the industry, have adopted agile software development. Although the nuances of agile methods like iterative development existed decades back the term Agile software development was coined in 2001 in a small group industry meet. In this paper we have tried to scan the literature for any correlation between the agile development methods and software quality. We have conducted a survey to understand how one of the major factors of agile development i.e. iterative development influences the quality of the software.
