Software development methodology is used to structure, plan, and control the process of developing an information system. What are different approaches? and what are the basic principles of each approach?
2. Verb approaches
Every software development methodology framework acts as a basis for applying specific approaches to develop and maintain software. Several software development approaches have been used since the origin of information technology. These are:
- Waterfall: a linear framework
- Prototyping: an iterative framework
- Incremental: a combined linear-iterative framework
- Spiral: a combined linear-iterative framework
- Rapid application development (RAD): an iterative framework
- Extreme Programming
