Waterfall vs. Prototype: Comparative Study of SDLC

Abstract

: A major challenge in any engineering endeavor is taking a poorly organized, uncertain, inconsistent, incomplete, and over generalized requirements specification and turning it into a well-structured design. Software development is highly complex & interesting field with so many variables having lots of impact on system. There are various models for development of software. This paper aims to describe the impact and comparison of various methodology , to decide which model is more suitable & appropriate by analyzing their software matrices, development time, complexities, return on investment with minimal initial capital expenses, development cost, as we know success of a software depends upon which process model is being used.
