Iterative-Model-in-Software-Engineering

The iterative model in software engineering is a development approach that involves repeating phases to enhance and refine the software incrementally. It emphasizes continuous improvement, testing, and customer feedback, while also presenting challenges such as scope creep and resource intensity. This model is particularly suitable for complex projects with evolving requirements and when early risk mitigation is essential.

What is the Iterative Model?
The iterative model is a software development approach. It involves repeating a cycle of phases. Each iteration builds upon the previous one.
The goal is to produce a refined version.

Phases of Iterative Model
The iterative model consists of several key phases. These phases are repeated in each iteration. They ensure continuous
improvement and refinement.

Benefits of the Iterative
Model
The iterative model offers many advantages. These benefits enhance project
success. They also improve software quality.

Reduced Risk Improved Quality


Risks are identified and Continuous testing ensures
mitigated early. higher quality.

Customer Satisfaction
Early feedback leads to better alignment.
Challenges and
Considerations
Despite its benefits, the iterative model has challenges. Addressing these is
crucial for success. Careful planning and management are essential.

1 Scope Creep
Managing changes can be difficult.

2 Resource Intensive
Requires significant time and resources.

3 Complexity
Can be complex to manage.
When to Use the Iterative Model
