Spiral lifecycle model

Spiral model is an evolutionary version of incremental prototyping, developed by Boehm in 1988. Each iteration of the prototype represented as a cycle in the spiral. The Spiral software development model is a risk-oriented.
Spiral software development model may be applicable to projects where:
  • The projects requirements are very difficult
  • Where new technologies are used
  • Spiral-model The aim of customer communication is to establish effective communication between developer and customer.
    The planning objectives are to define resources, project alternatives, time lines and other project related information.
    The purpose of the risk analysis phase is to assess both technical and management risks.
    The engineering task is to build one or more representations of the application.
    The construction and release task to construct, test, install and provide user support (e.g., documentation and training).
    The customer evaluation task - to obtain customer feedback based on the evaluation of the software representation created during the engineering stage and implemented during the install stage.
    Advantages
    Disadvantages
    • High amount of risk analysis
    • Good for large and mission-critical projects.
    • Software is produced early in the software life cycle.
    • Can be a costly model to use.
    • Risk analysis requires highly specific expertise.
    • Project's success is highly dependent on the risk analysis phase.
    • Doesn't work well for smaller projects.
    Software Lifecycle Selector

    Lifecycle selector saves your time and money!

    Success or failure of the software projects greatly depends on right chose software development lifecycle model. Many software developers make the big mistake of using only one software development lifecycle model (SDLCM) for all software projects. Our tool helps avoid this problem.
    Lifecycle Selector is a absolutely free, very useful and easy to use software engineering and software project management tool. Only answer Yes or No for some questions you can to select Software Lifecycle model maximally preferable for the project. more
