Software Process Models - Easy Explanation

Child-Friendly Explanation

Waterfall Model

Imagine building a LEGO castle step by step. You plan first, gather pieces, then build. You can't go back.

Good: Simple. Bad: Hard to fix mistakes.

Incremental Model

Build a LEGO castle room by room. You show your friend each time. Good: Fast feedback. Bad: Might not fit

perfectly later.

RAD Model

Build fast with friends using pieces you already have. Good: Fast. Bad: Needs lots of friends.

Prototyping Model

Make a small model first, show it, improve it. Good: Early feedback. Bad: People may keep the first one!

Spiral Model

Build bit by bit in circles. Each time you plan, build, and check. Good: Fix problems early. Bad: Needs talking

a lot.

Concurrent Model

Everyone builds different parts at the same time. Good: Fast. Bad: Needs teamwork.
Software Process Models - Easy Explanation

Formal Explanation for Students

1. Waterfall Model: A linear software process model where each phase (requirement, design, implementation,

testing) is completed before the next begins.

- Advantages: Simple, clear steps.

- Disadvantages: Difficult to handle changes, late feedback.

2. Incremental Model: Software is developed in parts (increments). Each adds more functionality.

- Advantages: Early working software, easy updates.

- Disadvantages: Architecture issues may arise if not planned.

3. RAD Model: Focuses on rapid development using component-based construction.

- Advantages: Fast development, reuse.

- Disadvantages: Needs large teams, not ideal for complex systems.

4. Prototyping Model: A prototype is built first to understand requirements better.

- Advantages: Better requirement clarity, early feedback.

- Disadvantages: Risk of using low-quality initial versions.

5. Spiral Model: Combines iterative development with risk analysis. Goes in cycles.

- Advantages: Handles risks and changes well.

- Disadvantages: Needs good planning and communication.

6. Concurrent Model: All tasks can happen at the same time in different states (e.g., under review, in

progress).

- Advantages: Efficient, real-time status visibility.

- Disadvantages: Requires strong coordination.
