Waterfall Model Certification
About Waterfall Model
The Waterfall model is a linear, sequential approach to software development, in which the development process is divided into distinct phases and each phase must be completed before the next one begins. The phases of the Waterfall model are typically:
Requirements gathering and analysis: Gathering and documenting the requirements for the software, including what the software will do and how it will be used.
Design: Creating a detailed design for the software, including the architecture, user interface, and algorithms to be used.
Implementation: Writing the code for the software and testing it at the module level.
Integration and testing: Integrating the different modules of the software and testing the software as a whole.
Deployment: Installing and deploying the software to the customer.
Maintenance: Providing ongoing support and making changes to the software as needed.
This model is also known as a "Linear-Sequential Life Cycle" model as it follows a linear progression and it does not allow for much iteration or reworking. It is most appropriate for smaller projects and projects where requirements are well understood, with little or no change.
