The waterfall model is the earliest Systems Development Life Cycle approach used in software development. [ 3 ] The waterfall development model originated in the manufacturing and construction industries, [ citation needed ] where the highly structured physical environments meant that design changes became prohibitively expensive much sooner in ...
In software development, the V-model [2] represents a development process that may be considered an extension of the waterfall model and is an example of the more general V-model. Instead of moving down linearly, the process steps are bent upwards after the coding phase, to form the typical V shape.
The unified software development process or unified process is an iterative and incremental software development process framework. The best-known and extensively documented refinement of the unified process is the rational unified process (RUP).
A phase-gate process (also referred to as a waterfall process) is a project management technique in which an initiative or project (e.g., new product development, software development, process improvement, business change) is divided into distinct stages or phases, separated by decision points (known as gates).
The Dutch University of Groningen and the Swedish Linnaeus University offer students a collaborative course called ISEP (International Software Engineering Project) in which UPEDU is heavily used. The École Polytechnique de Montréal, alma mater of Robillard, features a course focused on software project management using UPEDU as a teaching tool.
The Waterfall model for software development is mistakenly attributed to Royce. Barry Boehm wrote in 1987: . Royce's 1970 paper is generally considered to be the paper which defined the stagewise "waterfall" model of the software process.
Big design up front (BDUF) is a software development approach in which the program's design is to be completed and perfected before that program's implementation is started. It is often associated with the waterfall model of software development. Synonyms for big design up front (BDUF) are big modeling up front (BMUF) and big requirements up ...
The spiral model is a risk-driven software development process model. Based on the unique risk patterns of a given project, the spiral model guides a team to adopt elements of one or more process models, such as incremental , waterfall , or evolutionary prototyping .
