Revised 4 - L1Module4Intro

Software process models are structured activities for developing software systems, encompassing specification, design, validation, and evolution. The two main categories are Waterfall, which involves pre-planned activities, and Incremental, which allows for flexibility in response to changing requirements. Both approaches can be combined in practical applications to enhance software development efficiency and quality.

Software Process Models

CSE 360: Introduction to Software


Engineering
What is a Process Model?

| A structured set of activities required to develop a


software system.

| Many different software processes but all involve:


- Specification – defining what the system should do;
- Design and implementation – defining the organization of the system
and implementing the system;
- Validation – checking that it does what the customer wants;
- Evolution – changing the system in response to changing customer
needs.

| A software process model is an abstract


representation of a process. It presents a description
of a process from some particular perspective
Waterfall vs Incremental Approaches

| Waterfall models are processes where all of the


process activities are planned in-advance and
progress is measured against this plan.

| In Incremental processes, planning is incremental,


and it is easier to change the process to reflect
changing customer requirements.

| In practice, most practical processes include


elements of both waterfall and incremental
approaches.

| There are no right or wrong software processes.

software development process with the intention of
producing high quality products on time and within
budget

| Two major categories: Waterfall and Incremental
