Live Demo
Live Demo is a software development practice where developers or teams present a working, real-time demonstration of a product, feature, or prototype to stakeholders, clients, or users. It involves showcasing actual functionality in a live environment, often during meetings, reviews, or testing sessions, to gather feedback, validate requirements, or demonstrate progress. This approach emphasizes transparency, collaboration, and iterative improvement by allowing immediate interaction with the software.
Developers should use Live Demos during agile development cycles, client presentations, or user acceptance testing to provide tangible evidence of work and facilitate clear communication. It is particularly valuable for validating features with end-users, securing stakeholder buy-in, and identifying issues early in the development process, reducing misunderstandings and rework. This practice helps bridge the gap between technical implementation and business needs, fostering a feedback-driven culture.
