Walking Skeleton

Slide 51

Slide 51 text

“A Walking Skeleton is a tiny implementation of the system that performs a small end-to-end function. It need not use the final architecture, but it should link together the main architectural components. The architecture and the functionality can then evolve in parallel.” Alistair Cockburn
