Software Development Methodologies

What is a benefit of the waterfall model?

• Clear responsibilities for each person on the project

• Continuous feedback from the client

• Emphasis on the quality of the finished code

• Risk management at the heart of the model

What is a drawback of the waterfall model?

• Misunderstanding the requirements can lead to an unsuitable product

• Efficiency of the code may not be prioritized

• Risk analysis is a highly specialized and expensive skill

• Requires a team of programmers working in close collaboration

When is the waterfall model most suitable?

• For projects with well-understood requirements and low risk

• For projects where the initial requirements are not fully understood

• For large-scale development projects

• For projects with a high level of risk or unknown factors

What is a benefit of rapid application development?

• Excellent usability due to continuous feedback from the client

• Clear responsibilities for each person on the project

• Risk management at the heart of the model

• Emphasis on the quality of the finished code
