Incremental Model in SDLC: Use, Advantage &

Disadvantage
What is Incremental Model?
Incremental Model is a process of software development where requirements are broken down
into multiple standalone modules of software development cycle. Incremental development is
done in steps from analysis design, implementation, testing/verification, maintenance.

Each iteration passes through the requirements, design, coding and testing phases. And each
subsequent release of the system adds function to the previous release until all designed
functionality has been implemented.

The system is put into production when the first increment is delivered. The first increment is
often a core product where the basic requirements are addressed, and supplementary features
are added in the next increments. Once the core product is analyzed by the client, there is plan /
development for the next increment.

Characteristics of an Incremental module includes

System development is broken down into many mini development projects

Partial systems are successively built to produce a final total system
Highest priority requirement is tackled first
Once the requirement is developed, requirement for that increment are frozen

Incremental Phases Activities performed in incremental phases

Requirement Analysis
Requirement and specification of the software are collected

Design
Some high-end function are designed during this stage

Code
Coding of software is done during this stage

Test
Once the system is deployed, it goes through the testing phase

When to use Incremental models?

Requirements of the system are clearly understood

When demand for an early release of a product arises
When software engineering team are not very well skilled or trained
When high-risk features and goals are involved
Such methodology is more in use for web application and product based companies

Advantages and Disadvantages of Incremental Model

Advantages Disadvantages

/
 The software will be generated quickly It requires a good planning designing
during the software life cycle

It is flexible and less expensive to change Problems might cause due to system
requirements and scope architecture as such not all requirements
collected up front for the entire software
lifecycle

Thought the development stages changes Each iteration phase is rigid and does not
can be done overlap each other

This model is less costly compared to Rectifying a problem in one unit requires
others correction in all the units and consumes a
lot of time

 
A customer can respond to each building

 
Errors are easy to be identified
