The Spiral Model
• Spiral Model is a combination of a waterfall
model and iterative model.
• Each phase in spiral model begins with a
design goal and ends with the client reviewing
the progress.
• The development team in Spiral-SDLC model
starts with a small set of requirement and goes
through each development phase for those set
of requirements.

4
The Spiral Model
• The software engineering team adds
functionality for the additional requirement in
every-increasing spirals until the application is
ready for the production phase.

How it Works

7
Spiral Model Phases

Planning:
• It includes estimating the cost, schedule and
resources for the iteration.
• It also involves understanding the system
requirements for continuous communication
between the system analyst and the customer

8
Spiral Model Phases (Cont..)
Risk Analysis:
• Identification of potential risk is done while risk
mitigation strategy is planned and finalized
Engineering:
• It includes testing, coding and deploying software
at the customer site
Evaluation:
Evaluation of software by the customer. Also, includes
identifying and monitoring risks such as schedule
slippage and cost overrun
9
When to Use Spiral Model?

• When project is large


• When releases are required to be frequent
• When creation of a prototype is applicable
• When risk and costs evaluation is important
• For medium to high-risk projects
• When requirements are unclear and complex
• When changes may require at any time

10
Example of Prototype process

Microsoft Windows

11
Advantages of Prototype Model
• Additional functionality or changes can be
done at a later stage
• Development is fast and features are added
in a systematic way
• There is always a space for customer
feedback
• Cost estimation becomes easy as the
prototype building is done in small fragments

12
Disadvantages of Prototype Model
• Risk of not meeting the schedule or budget
• It works best for large projects only also
demands risk assessment expertise
• For its smooth operation spiral model protocol
needs to be followed strictly
• It is not advisable for smaller project, it might
cost them a lot

Advice

• Study these Lecture along with prescribed


Book for a better understanding as well as
preparation for Exam.
