From page 52...
... APPENDIX C Software Development in Evolutionary Acquisition Software development is a natural area for evolutionary acquisition; in fact, it has been noted that the concept came from this area. Given the increasing and important role of software in complex defense systems, evolutionary acquisition should take advantage of and be consistent with current best practices in this area.

... Testing and certification activities begin early in the development cycle. Incremental development as practiced in cleanroom also provides a basis for statistical process control.

From page 54...
... Most crucially, in the context of evolutionary acquisition, incremental development allows systematic accommodation of inevitable changes in system requirements and the project environment. At the completion of each increment, the impact of accumulated changes in system requirements can be assessed in terms of current specifications and increment designs.
