Waterfall Model - Model

Model

In Royce's original waterfall model, the following phases are followed in order:

  1. Requirements specification
  2. Design
  3. Construction (implementation or coding)
  4. Integration
  5. Testing and debugging (validation)
  6. Installation
  7. Maintenance

Thus the waterfall model maintains that one should move to a phase only when its preceding phase is completed and perfected. Various modified waterfall models (including Royce's final model), however, can include slight or major variations on this process.
