SDLC Overveiw A framework that describes the activities performed at each stage of a software development project. Software lifecycle: Set of activities and their relationships to each other to support the development of a software system Software lifecycle modeling: Attempt to deal with complexity and change

Waterfall Model overview
Waterfall approach was first Process Model to be introduced and followed widely in Software Engineering to ensure success of the project. In "The Waterfall" approach, the whole process of software development is divided into separate process phases. The phases in Waterfall model are: Requirement Specifications phase. Software Design. Implementation . Testing Maintenance. All these phases are cascaded to each other so that second phase is started as and when defined set of goals are achieved for first phase and it is signed off, so the name "Waterfall Model". All the methods and processes undertaken in Waterfall Model are more visible.

History of Waterfall (it was not waterfall)
The waterfall development model originates in the manufacturing and construction industries In 1970 Royce proposed what is now popularly referred to as the waterfall model as an initial concept, a model which he argued was flawed (Royce 1970). In Royce's original waterfall model, the following phases are followed in order: Requirements specification Design Construction (AKA implementation or coding) Integration Testing and debugging (AKA Validation) Installation Maintenance
9
How does it work(which most Activity involved)
The project moves forward in a linear fashion just as you would paddle down the stream. A preceding phase must be completed before the next starts. And, once you go over a waterfall (i.e., complete a phase) you can't go back. This is the earliest method of structured system development.
10
How does it work(cont…)
System Conceptualization. System Conceptualization refers to the consideration of all aspects of the targeted business function or process, with the goals of determining how each of those aspects relates with one another, and which aspects will be incorporated into the system. Systems Analysis: This is the second phase refers to the gathering of system requirements, with the goal of determining how these requirements will be accommodated in the system. Extensive communication between the customer and the developer is essential. System Design: Once the requirements have been collected and analyzed, it is necessary to identify in detail how the system will be constructed to perform necessary tasks. More specifically, the System Design phase is focused on the data requirements
11
How does it work(cont…)
Coding: Also known as programming or the coding phase, this step involves the creation of the system software. Requirements and systems specifications from the System Design step are translated into machine-readable computer code. Testing: As the software is created and added to the developing system, testing is performed to ensure that it is working correctly and efficiently.

Requirements are very well known Product definition is stable
When to use Waterfall Requirements are very well known Product definition is stable Technology is understood New version of an existing product Porting an existing product to a new platform.
15
Advantages A waterfall model helps find problems earlier on which can cost a business less than if it was found later on. Requirements will be set and these wouldn't be changed. As everything is documented a new team member can easily understand what's to be done. Implementers have to follow the design accurately Clear project objectives. Stable project requirements. Progress of system is measurable. Although the model is old fashioned, it remains a resonable approach when requirements are well understood. It is very simple model to implement.
16
Disadvantages Many believe it is impossible to make one stage of the projects life cycle perfect. Difficult to estimate time and cost for each stage of the development process. Constant testing of the design is needed. At the beginning of most projects there is often a great deal of uncertainty about requirements and goals, and it is therefore difficult for customers to identify these criteria on a detailed level. The model does not accommodate this natural uncertainty very well.
17
Disadvantages(cont…)
In recent years it rigid design and inflexible procedure has come under attack, due to its. Criticisms fall into the following categories: Time consuming (time is money) In this model there is no back tracking. For example if any error occurred an any stage of software development, it can't be corrected in that build. An error if undetected until the final product is produced may be disastrous.
