SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE

SDLC

PROTOTYPE MODEL

Prototype Model

Advantages
Early visibility of the prototype gives users an idea of what the final system looks like Encourages active participation among users and producer Enables a higher output for user Cost effective (Development costs reduced). Increases system development speed Various aspects can be tested and quicker feedback can be gained from the user

Disadvatages
Structure of system can be damaged since many changes could be made Not suitable for large applications Over long periods, can cause loss in consumer interest and subsequent cancellation due to a lack of a market May slow the development process, if there are large number of end users to satisfy.

SPIRAL MODEL

Spiral Model

Advantages Risk reduction mechanisms are in place. Supports iteration and reflects real-world practices Systematic approach. Disadvantages: Requires expertise in risk evaluation and reduction. Complex, relatively difficult to follow strictly. Applicable only to large systems

END USER DEVELOPMENT

Advantages
Functionality delivered by the technology Flexibility to respond to new requirements Usability of applications produced Overall quality of the applications produced

Disadvantages
Technical cost: the price of the technology and the effort to install it Learning cost: the time taken to understand the technology Development cost: the effort to develop applications using the technology Test and debugging cost: the time taken to verify the system
