1. Waterfall model:
a. Concept:
Waterfall model, aka linear-sequential life cycle model, is a system development
life cycle (SDLC) model in which each phase of it must be completed before
begin the next phase and there’s no overlapping in the phases
The waterfall model describes the software development process in a linear
sequential flow, which means you have to complete the previous phases before
moving onto the next phase.
If you got any problems with the present phase which related to the previous
phase, you have to stop everything and go back to check them, if those problems
didn’t occur in the previous phase, you have to go back to the previous phase of
that phase, keep going until you solved the problems and than you can continue
with the next phase, keep fixing until you reach the present phase.
b. Design:
The following illustration is a representation of the different phases of the
