Evaluation of agile software develeopment method for carrier cloud service platform development

Abstract

In this paper, we evaluate a method of agile software development for carrier Cloud service platform development. It is generally said that agile software development is suitable for small-scale development, but we adopt it for the development which has more than 30 members. We attempted to enable automatic regression tests for each iteration when we adopted agile software development, so that we could start our Cloud service sufficiently fast. We compared and evaluated software reliability growth curves, regression test efforts and bug causes with waterfall development.
