Capstone: Shipping Your Product

10 Lektionen in dieser Stufe

1. Freezing Scope and Planning the Release
   Fix the feature set, define done and plan the remaining work with risks. · Lab: Create a release plan with milestones, a risk list and acceptance criteria.
2. Firmware Architecture Review and Refactoring into Modules
   Check the code structure against the requirements and clean up before integration. · Lab: Draw the module diagram, remove dead code and resolve all static-analysis findings.
3. Integrating Sensors, Communication, Storage and Power Management
   Combine all subsystems on the real hardware and resolve their interactions. · Lab: Bring the complete firmware up on a pilot unit and run it for 24 hours.
4. Deriving a Verification Test Plan from the Requirements
   Trace every requirement to a test with method and pass criterion. · Lab: Write the traceability matrix and automate as many tests as possible.
5. Environmental and Soak Testing
   Expose units to temperature, humidity, vibration and long run times within safe home-lab means. · Lab: Run a week-long soak with temperature cycling and log every anomaly.
6. Validating Power, Range and Performance Against Targets
   Measure the key figures and compare them with the specification. · Lab: Measure battery life projection, radio range and response times and record pass or fail.
7. Security Review and Release Signing
   Re-check the threat model, close findings and produce the signed release build. · Lab: Walk through the threat model, fix open items and build the signed release in CI.
8. Pilot Production Run and First-Article Inspection
   Build the batch with your documentation and jig and inspect the first unit in detail. · Lab: Assemble and test five units and record yield and assembly time.
9. User Documentation, Support Channels and Warranty Basics
   Prepare what customers need to install, use and get help. · Lab: Finalise the manual, a quick-start card and a support and returns procedure.
10. Launch Retrospective and Planning Revision B
    Evaluate the project honestly and plan the next hardware and firmware revision. · Lab: Write a retrospective and a prioritised change list for revision B.
