Process Model

The document outlines various software development models including Waterfall, Prototyping, Incremental, Iterative, Spiral, RAD, Timebox, V-Model, and Agile. Each model is characterized by its process, suitability for different project types, and remarks on its advantages and disadvantages. The information serves as a guide for selecting the appropriate model based on project requirements and conditions.

Process

Characteristics Suitability Remark


Model

Sequential, documentation-driven, Well-defined, stable Easy to manage but


Waterfall each phase completed before next; requirements; inflexible; no early working
feedback loops small/medium projects software

Complex/unknown Costly and time-consuming;


Build prototype first; users give
Prototyping requirements; large minimal documentation;
feedback; clarifies requirements
innovative systems several prototype types

System developed in increments;


Large systems needing Early usable software;
Incremental each increment adds features;
early partial delivery requires careful planning
iterative mini-cycles

Build basic version of all features Evolving requirements;


Better testing; requires
Iterative first; refine in cycles; feedback- user-feedback-heavy
customer involvement
driven projects

Risk-driven; iterative cycles: Complex and costly;


High-risk, large, expensive
Spiral planning → risk analysis → requires risk analysis
projects
development → evaluation expertise

Fast development; heavy Projects with clear, stable Needs skilled developers
RAD prototyping; short cycles; high user requirements; time-critical and active users; not good
involvement work for very large systems

Fixed time frames; parallel teams; Projects needing fast Not suitable if tasks can't be
Timebox stages of equal duration; delivery with many evenly divided; manpower-
overlapping iterations features intensive

Extension of waterfall; Well-defined, fixed


Rigid; no room for changing
V-Model verification/validation at each requirements; small stable
requirements
phase; strict sequence projects

Short iterations; incremental; Changing requirements; Requires frequent customer


Agile customer-driven; adaptive; fast-moving or dynamic involvement; flexible but
emphasis on working software projects less predictable
