BUT  the tasks (and degree of rigor) for each activity will vary based on:  the type of project (an “entry point” to the model)  characteristics of the project  common sense judgment; concurrence of the project team

They are then defined in a manner that is understandable by both users and development staff. This phase can be divided into: Feasibility study (often carried out separately) Requirements analysis Requirements definition Requirements specification

(Written specifically, acquired from elsewhere, or modified.) Individual components are tested against specifications.

Maintenance: Errors and problems are identified and fixed. Evolution: The system evolves over time as requirements change, to add new functions or adapt the technical environment. Phase out: The system is withdrawn from service.

Pressman & Associates, Inc., copyright © 1996, 2001and revised by Ayşe Bener Discussion of the Waterfall Model Advantages: Process visibility Separation of tasks Quality control Cost control Disadvantages: Each stage in the process reveals new understanding of the previous stages, that requires the earlier stages to be revised. The Waterfall Model is not enough!

Vaporware: user interface mock-up Throw-away software components Dummy modules Rapid prototyping Successive refinement Get something working as quickly as possible!

Pressman & Associates, Inc., copyright © 1996, 2001and revised by Ayşe Bener Observations about Software Processes Completed projects should look like the Waterfall Model but... the development process is always partly evolutionary. Risk is lowered by: Prototyping key components Dividing into phases Following a visible software process Making use of reusable components Conclusion It is not possible to complete each step and throw it over the wall.
