PROCESS MODEL:
There are different types of models used by a software team to do their work systematic that is step by step. The original
process models have certainly given a guidance or roadmap for the whole software development process or software
engineering.
The process models are properly structured so that at least structure of the process can be understood. We have chosen the
Waterfall Model for development of our project.
Dredgehub
WATERFALL MODEL:
The waterfall model is a breakdown of project activities into linear sequential phases, where each phase depends on the
deliverables of the previous one and corresponds to a specialization of tasks. The approach is typical for certain areas of
engineering design. In software development, it tends to be among the less iterative and flexible approaches, as progress
flows in largely one direction (“downwards” like a waterfall) through the phases of conception, initiation, analysis, design,
construction, testing, deployment and maintenance.
