FAQPage Schema

What is a spike in software development and when do I need it?▼

A spike is a disposable experiment used to validate ideas before committing to full development. You need a spike when conducting exploratory research, feasibility studies, or comparing approaches to determine the best solution.

How do I create a throwaway prototype to test a new technical approach?▼

To create a throwaway prototype, run the command `spike new <name> <description>`. This initializes a disposable experiment framework for quickly testing and validating new methods or technologies.

Do I need any specific dependencies to run feasibility tests for my project?▼

No specific dependencies are required to run feasibility tests. You only need basic research and development skills, along with familiarity with project decomposition and iterative testing.

What is the best way to compare different libraries before full development?▼

The best way to compare different libraries is by creating a spike project. This allows you to build disposable experiments for direct comparison, helping you determine the best approach before investing in full development.

Why use disposable experiments instead of building a minimum viable product?▼

Disposable experiments save time and resources compared to building full-fledged solutions or minimum viable products. They allow you to quickly test feasibility and validate ideas without the overhead of production-ready code.

When should I avoid using a spike for exploratory research?▼

You should avoid using a spike if your project requires production-ready code or long-term maintenance, as spikes are throwaway experiments designed solely for quick validation and feasibility testing.
