The Software Process

Process Models
Definition of Software Process
• A software process is a set of related activities
that lead to the production of software.
– • Includes specification, design, implementation,
testing, and maintenance
Waterfall Model
• Sequential process model with distinct phases.
– • Requirements → Design → Implementation →
Testing → Maintenance
– • Easy to manage but inflexible to changes
Incremental Model
• Develops software in increments or partial
products.
– • Each increment adds functionality
– • Faster delivery of core features
Spiral Model
• Risk-driven model combining iterative and
waterfall.
– • Emphasis on risk analysis
– • Suitable for large, complex projects
V-Model
• Validation and verification model.
– • Testing phases correspond to development
phases
– • Rigid but ensures quality
Agile Model
• Iterative, customer-focused model.
– • Adaptive planning and delivery
– • Embraces change and stakeholder collaboration
Comparison of Models
• Selection depends on project size, complexity,
and requirements volatility.
– • Waterfall: Structured, low flexibility
– • Agile: High flexibility, frequent delivery
Conclusion
• Understanding process models helps in
selecting the right approach for software
development projects.
