Model
In Royce's original waterfall model, the following phases are followed in order:
- Requirements specification
- Design
- Construction (implementation or coding)
- Integration
- Testing and debugging (validation)
- Installation
- Maintenance
Thus the waterfall model maintains that one should move to a phase only when its preceding phase is completed and perfected. Various modified waterfall models (including Royce's final model), however, can include slight or major variations on this process.
