Analysis of software development life cycle models

Abstract

Software development life cycle is key technology to create a sound product on basis of Cost, Accuracy, and Quality. There are several types of models given to us with different scenarios. It is important to choose the best methodology according to our objective. There are two types of methodologies, traditional and agile. Each and every model aims to minimize anomalies that came in previous one. There are two framework linear and iterative used in different models. The model like waterfall use linear type of strategy that’s why they are less flexible and on the other handremaining models use iterative framework which provide flexibility to use at each and every stage. In this paper, various characteristics of different models are discussed and comparison is being made on basis of aspects.
