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 the ...
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).
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 ...
In software engineering, a software development process or software development life cycle (SDLC) is a process of planning and managing software development. It typically involves dividing software development work into smaller, parallel, or sequential steps or sub-processes to improve design and/or product management .
Cap Gemini SDM, or SDM2 (System Development Methodology) is a software development method developed by the software company Pandata in the Netherlands in 1970. The method is a waterfall model divided in seven phases that have a clear start and end. Each phase delivers subproducts, called milestones.
The process of identifying, modelling and documenting the data requirements of the system being designed. The result is a data model containing entities (things about which a business needs to record information), attributes (facts about the entities) and relationships (associations between the entities).
The SDR was originally defined in the Air Force's MIL-STD-1521. [ 1 ] The SDR is a technical review conducted to evaluate the manner in which a project's system requirements have been allocated to configuration items , manufacturing considerations, next phase planning, production plans, and the engineering process that produced the allocation.
COCOMO II is the successor of COCOMO 81 and is claimed to be better suited for estimating modern software development projects; providing support for more recent software development processes and was tuned using a larger database of 161 projects. The need for the new model came as software development technology moved from mainframe and ...
