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.

    Louise Kapp Howe (b. 1934)

    AIDS occupies such a large part in our awareness because of what it has been taken to represent. It seems the very model of all the catastrophes privileged populations feel await them.
