The document discusses different software development models including the linear sequential/waterfall model, prototyping, RAD model, and evolutionary software process models. It provides details on each model, including their advantages and disadvantages. Specific evolutionary models covered are the incremental model, spiral model, WINWIN spiral model, component assembly model, and concurrent development model.

MMooddeell
 The Waterfall Model was originally developed in the
early 1970s in an attempt to provide some structure to
large-scale software development
 The mother of all software engineering models
 Divided into distinct phases
 Recognizes the importance of backtracking (feedback)
and iteration in the software process

6. LLiinneeaarr SSeeqquueennttiiaall//WWaatteerrffaallll MMooddeell
Problem encountered:
• Real projects rarely follow the sequential flow
that the model proposed
• It is often difficult for the customer to state all
the requirement explicitly
• The customer must have patience

8. AAddvvaannttaaggeess
 It is easy to identify milestones
 It is easy to separate one stage from another
November 5, 2014 8

9. DDiissaaddvvaannttaaggeess
 Implies that any stage should be frozen before continuing
with the later stages (resulting in premature requirements,
design, coding etc)
 Assumes that user requirements can be precisely
specified.
 Requires customer to be patient as no way they can
assessing how far the development process has got until
they sees the nearly-finished product
 Unrealistic.

10. PPrroottoottyyppiinngg
 Suitable for unclear projects.
 Pros:
· identifying requirements
· users get a feeling for the system
· developers get to "do something"
 Cons:
· customer demands working product too early
· bad solutions will remain: throw-away or not?

12. Prototyping Paradigm
November 5, 2014 12

13. Types of prototyping
Evolutionary prototyping

November 5, 2014 13

14. Evolutionary Prototyping
Starts with those requirements that are
well understood
November 5, 2014 14

15. Throw away prototyping
Starts with those requirements that are
poorly understood
November 5, 2014 15

16. Prototyping techniques
High level languages
Executable specification languages
Composition of reusable components
Application generators and forth-generation
languages
November 5, 2014 16

17. Advantages of prototyping
Changing the system early in its
development
Scrapping undesirable systems
Designing a systems for user’s needs
and expectations
November 5, 2014 17

18. Disadvantages of prototyping
Managing the project
Adopting an incomplete system as
complete
November 5, 2014 18

19. RRAADD MMooddeell
 Suitable for projects with low technical risks
 Emphasize on an extremely short development cycle.
 RAD is a methodology for compressing the analysis, design,
build, and test phases into a series of short, iterative
development cycles
 Pros:
· Speed.
· Reuse.
 Cons:
· Requires many developers.
· Requires committed developers.

22. TThhee IInnccrreemmeennttaall MMooddeell
 Suitable for products that can be developed in increments.
 Combines elements of linear sequential model with the iterative
philosophy of prototyping
 Pros:
· resolves changing/unclear requirements
· possible to meet business deadlines with little staff
· management of technical risks
 Cons:
· untried?
· building in bad solutions

·risk reduction as risk analysis is performed
at each phase of system development
·Increases the quality of the software
developed

Elaboration
Construction
Transition
November 5, 2014 34

35. Phases, Workflows
and Iterations
Within each phase activities are grouped
into workflows
The balance of effort spent in each
workflow varies from phase to phase
Within phases there may be more than
one iteration

37. Difference from
Waterfall Life Cycle
 In a waterfall life cycle project the phases and
the workflows are linked together
 In the Requirements phase, only Requirements
workflow activities are carried out
 All Requirements activity should be completed
before work starts on Analysis
 In an iterative life cycle project it is recognised
that some Requirements work will be
happening alongside Analysis work
