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.

Famous quotes containing the word model:
“One of the most important things we adults can do for young children is to model the kind of person we would like them to be.”
—Carol B. Hillman (20th century)
“Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
“I’d like to be the first model who becomes a woman.”
—Lauren Hutton (b. 1944)
