EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS MODELS

5.  Software evolves over a period of time and hence evolutionary
models are more suited to software development.
 They are iterative.
 They enable the software developer to develop increasingly
more complex versions of the software.
Evolutionary Process Models

6. Prototyping
Spiral model
Types of Evolutionary Models

7.  Mock up model or throw away version of a software product.
 Can be used as standalone process model or can be
implemented within the context of any other process models.
 Can serve as the ‘first system’.
Prototyping

8.  Used when customer defines a set of objectives but does not identify
input, output or processing requirements.
 Best approach when developer is not sure of:
 Efficiency of an algorithm
 Adaptability of an operating system
 Human/machine interaction
 Helps both the software engineers and stakeholders to better
understand what is to be built when requirements are fuzzy.
Characteristics

9. The Prototyping Paradigm

10.  Communication:
 Software Engineer and customer defines overall objective
 Identifies requirements and outline area
 Quick plan is made
 Quick design:
 A Prototype iteration is planned quickly and modeled
 The quick design focuses on the representation of those aspects of the
software that will be visible to end users
The Process

11.  Construction of Prototype:
 The quick design leads to the construction of the prototype.
 Deployment Delivery & Feedback:
 The prototype is deployed and evaluated by stakeholders.
 The feedback leads to refinements of requirements.
 Iteration occurs until the prototype satisfies the needs of various
stakeholders.
Contd..

12.  At the prototype level no focus on software quality or long-term
maintainability.
 In order to make the prototype working quickly, the developer
often makes implementation compromises such as use of
inappropriate Operating System or Programming Language.

also successfully developed- Criticize the statement.
