Top Software Development Models(Not Just Agile
and Waterfall)
The software revolution began in the United States and soon became a worldwide
phenomenon. In the 90s, when software and modern computers were in the nascent
stage, it would take an average of three years for software teams to deliver a
software application.
Soon computers entered the mainstream business world, and the offer of a
promising future became all the more reason to why develop software. Eventually,
software development began to demand a more robust and systematic approach to
development.
From waterfall to agile, with time, different types of software development models
began to hit the software development landscape. Software development no longer
followed a fixed approach. Faster deployments, rapid releases, and improved
coordination and collaboration became the criteria for choosing the right software
development methodology.
As business outcomes are largely dependent on what software development model
you choose, here is our guide to acquaint you with various types of software
development models.
What is a Software Development Model?
A software development model is a series of processes that are carried out by
software development companies to develop software applications. Software
development models thus serve as a blueprint for managing the end-to-end software
development pipeline. Each methodology works against the constraints of cost and
resources, where cost refers to time and money, while resources reflect human and
infrastructural resources.
What is SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle)?
The framework that offers a systematic sequence of key stages for developing a
software application is termed the software development life cycle (SDLC). Planning,
Requirements gathering, Analysis, Design, Implementation, Testing (Quality
Assurance), Deployment, and Maintenance are elemental stages in SDLC. Each of
these stages adds value to the software development process, thereby aiding in
building the application from concept to program to usable application.
Types of Software Development Models
The field of software development has been consistently evolving and it’s no longer limited
to the Agile or Waterfall framework, as is commonly believed. Today, different types of
methodology in software development exist, each of which has been conceptualized with a
purpose. Here, we dive into the details of those various types of software development life
cycle models.
● Agile Software Development Model
● Extreme Programming (XP)
● Prototyping
● Rational Unified Process (RUP)
● Spiral Development
● Joint Application Development (JAD)
● Scrum
● Waterfall Software Development Model
● DevOps
● Lean Software Development (LSD)
● Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM)
● Feature-Driven Development (FDD)
● V-Model of Software Development
● Adaptive Software development (ASD)
● Big Bang
How do you choose the best software
development process model?
The software development model that you will choose will impact the product’s
success and ultimately the perception of the users about your business. So,
choosing the right software development model is not merely restricted to a software
development project’s success but extends right across to the business’s success.
To complement your strategies with a high-performance application and successfully
implement them, choosing the most appropriate software development model
requires you to diligently execute a series of steps, which are:
● Understand niceties of each software development model
● Collect the client and the project information
● Check which methodology would complement the requirements and meet the
budgetary constraints.
Bank on the right software development model
Each of the various types of software development models that we saw here is a
separate theory in itself. We have made a genuine attempt to best familiarize you
with each of these software development models within the confines of this blog.
The selection of software development process models will always be driven by your
software project goals. You must therefore map the goals with the model, as you
filter your choices.
As we saw, each model is peculiar in its own sense, and its applicability will depend
upon the project’s nature.
To know which model you should implement, consider seeking consultation from our
software development experts.
