Waterfall Model
- Phases: Requirements, Design, Implementation, Testing, Deployment
- Linear: Progresses sequentially through each phase
- Fixed: Requirements are fixed at the beginning
- Advantages: Predictable, easy to manage
- Disadvantages: Inflexible, difficult to manage changes, high risk of failure
Agile Development Models
- Scrum: Iterative and incremental development with short sprints (usually 2-4 weeks)
- Kanban: Focuses on continuous improvement and workflow optimization
- Extreme Programming (XP): Emphasizes customer involvement, feedback, and testing
- Lean Development: Aims to deliver value with minimal waste
- Advantages: Adaptable, flexible, reduces risk of failure
- Disadvantages: Can be less predictable, requires experienced teams
Spiral Model
- Phases: Planning, Risk Analysis, Engineering, Evaluation
- Iterative: Cycles through the phases multiple times
- Incremental: Releases smaller, usable versions of the product
- Advantages: Manages risk effectively, adapts to changing requirements
- Disadvantages: Can be complex and time-consuming
V-Model
- Phases: Requirements, Design, Implementation, Testing (Verification and Validation)
- Linear: Similar to Waterfall model, but adds a testing phase for each development phase
- Advantages: Focuses on testing, helps ensure quality
- Disadvantages: Can be inflexible, difficult to manage changes
Other Models
- Big Design Up Front (BDUF): Emphasizes designing the entire system before implementation
- Rapid Application Development (RAD): Uses tools and techniques to accelerate development
- Feature-Driven Development (FDD): Breaks down features into smaller, manageable modules
- Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD): Automates the build, test, and deployment process
