Software Development Risk Aspects and Success Frequency on Spiral and Agile Model

Abstract

Software companies face a lot of difficulties in choosing a correct development model when projects have to confront a lot of risk factors ranging from low to high. When software development becomes complex in nature due to risk, companies usual practice is to switch over to the only risk detection traditional model-the Spiral. Spiral model is considered to be the best conventional model for risk analysis. But in modern developmental style, all the development cycles around a single trend-the Agile. The main objective of this paper is to make a study on these two models and to get a conclusion on the impact of risk assessment and its success factors on complex software developmental projects.
