The development efforts in this chapter have been scattered all over the system's code-base, largely because of some requirement gaps or implementation needs and details that surfaced as specific functionality unfolded. Ideally, in a real-world effort, much of that would have surfaced considerably earlier, and been expressed as specific tasks that were attached to the stories in the iteration, though some might still have occurred—we've made some decisions, both in this chapter and the one before, that shaped how things needed to work, that might not have been captured in an initial story analysis exercise.
As a result, the code at this point is quite probably broken. Perhaps drastically broken. Still, there's been a lot of progress against the iteration's stories, even if none of them can be formally closed yet:
