Question
Chapter 12, Problem 1RQ
Program Plan Intro

Waterfall model:

  • Waterfall model is the first process model in which each phase is completed before starting the next phase.
  • It is the first Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) approach used for developing the software.
  • It includes six different types of phases and they are as follows
  • Investigation
    • The clear understanding of the problems in a system and solving them is performed in investigation phase.
    • This helps in developing the project in less time.
  • Analysis
    • Gathering the data from the existing system and determining the requirements for new systems is done in analysis phase.
    • It defines the user requirements and expectations.
  • Design
    • The existing program or code is executed according to the required design.
    • It mainly depends on user requirements.
    • Its aim is to convert the user requirements to a complete system.
  • Construction
    • Construction phase is used to execute the code according to design.
    • It is managed by the group of programmers or developers called development team.
  • Integration and Testing
    • In integration and testing phase, the individual programs or codes are integrated together and tested as group.
    • It is used for finding the errors and solving them.
  • Implementation
    • It is the last phase of the project development process in which development of the project is implemented and maintained.
    • It includes user preparation, site preparation, installation and many such.
