Software Process Model

Software process models are essential tools for developers to map project steps, aiding in planning, cost estimation, and communication. The linear model, also known as the waterfall model, emphasizes a systematic approach to software development through sequential stages, from requirements gathering to deployment. While it offers advantages like cost-effectiveness and customer satisfaction, it also has drawbacks such as rigidity and challenges in time management.

SOFTWARE PROCESS

MODELS
Software process models are convenient tools that developers use to map every step of
their projects. They help project managers plan their processes, estimate costs, identify
challenges and communicate with teams and customers. If you work in software
development, it might be helpful to learn more about process models and how they can
help you.

A software process is the development team's activities that lead to the final
development of their software program. Each of these activities relates to the other in
some way, forming a linear path the team follows from initial planning to final
deliverables.

A software process model is a digital or hand-written model that details the software
development process. Process models help provide a visual representation of the
development process for both the team and the customer to review.

LINEAR MODEL
 It is also called a linear sequential model, classic life cycle or waterfall
model. It suggests a systematic, sequential approach to Software
Development that begins at a systematic level and progresses through
communication, planning, modeling, construction, and deployment.
 The first and foremost step is to know thoroughly about the demands of
customers and other stakeholders. It is to assure all the necessary
information is gathered. The client is also made aware of the Software
Development Process. Penning down all requirements decides about the
specific development process.
 At this step, there is a need for a proper map to Project Development.
Having all requirements, info, and ingredients to construct the product,
then it’s time for you to have a timeline to better understand the demands
and design to achieve these requirements. This stage will help you to
choose the employment of the technologies and services you will be
needing

 The entire process is broken into sequential stages. It’s vital to finish each phase
successfully as a way to move onto the next one. All kinds of testing methods are
essentially carried out during the validation approach.
 Software Testing is a procedure of finding defects to guarantee that the system being
developed meet the requirements. This process assures quality and optimized
efficiency. You need to run tests on every form, every script, run a spell-checking
software to remove every possible typo. Use code validators to examine the code
follows the latest web standards. The valid code is important, for example, if cross-
browser compatibility is important for your website.
 Your website is more about service than the product. After the successful delivery and
execution of web application, it is the time to collect feedback, reviews and the
results. The feedback is very important to detect all possible problem at end-users
face. After then, the highest priority is to fix those errors as rapidly as they can be
removed.
Advantages: 1) COST EFFECTIVE, 2) SUITABLE FOR DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHICAL
POSITIONS
3) IT’S LINEAR, 4) LESS TIME TAKING, 5) MAXIMIZED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Disadvantages: 1) IT IS RIGID (slow development), 2) NO CENTRALITY OF THE CLIENT
3) THE ABSENCE OF THE CENTRAL AUTHORITY 4) TIME MANAGEMENT 5) NO EASY
