Software does not wear out:

1 While in the spiral model, the customer is made aware of all the
‘happenings in the software development, inthe waterfall model the
customer fenot involved.
2 This often leads to situations, where the software is not developed
according tothe needs tothe customer.
8. Inthe waterfall mode, when the development process shifts tothe next
stage, there is no going back
4. Thinsiteu leads to roadblocks, eapecally during the coding phase
5. However, in the spiral model, since there are different iterations, it is
rather easier to change the design and make the software feasible
6 Inthe spiral model, ne can revisit the different phases of software
‘development, as many times as one wants, during the entire development
proces,
‘This alse helps in backtracking, reversing or revising the process.
‘8 However, the same s not possible in the waterfall model, which allows
ro auch scope,
Often people have the waterfall mode or spiral mode confusion due to
{Ue fact that the spiral mode seems tobe a complex model
10. Itcambe attributed tothe fact that there are many iterations, which go
into the model
1, Atthe same time, often there is ne dacumentation involved in the spiral
‘model, which makes it dificult to keep a tack ofthe entire process
12, On the other hand, the waterfall model hae sequential progression,

‘Significance of requirement engineering:
1. Requirement engineering is the procossof determining user expectations
for anew or modified product.
2 These user expectations, called requirements, must be quantifiable,
relevant und detailed,
8. Insoftware engineering, such requirements are often ealled functional
specifications
