Also known as Linear Sequential Life Cycle Model, is a popular version of the Systems Development Life Cycle Model. Is often considered as the traditional model for software development. In the Waterfall Model, each phase must be completed in order t move to the next step. Usually applied to small projects with o uncertain requirements; there is no overlapping between the phases. At the end of each phase, a review takes place to determine if the project is in the right path.<\/p>\n

These are the steps of the Waterfall Method:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Requirements:<\/strong> requirement are gathered and documented<\/li>\n
  2. Analysis:<\/strong> Analyzed whether the requirements are valid or not<\/li>\n
  3. Design:<\/strong> Determines the architecture of the software<\/li>\n
  4. Implementation:<\/strong> Coding<\/li>\n
  5. Testing:<\/strong> Testing each component for making sure it works as expected<\/li>\n
  6. Deployment:<\/strong> Sending the program to the users<\/li>\n
  7. Maintenance:<\/strong> Fix the problems found in the future<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
