Answer / nithin

4.Hybrid Model :

Hybrid model can be defined as the combination of two Models.

We can implement the combinations such as (prototype model with V -model) / (Prototype model with spiral model) in the Hybrid Model

When the given requirements are not clear and if they are given part by part we can combine (Prototype model with spiral mode).

When the given requirements are not clear and if get long term projects we can combine (prototype model with V -model).

For example let us consider the combination of Prototype with spiral model.








Procedure :

First we will collect the requirements of one Module.

Develop a prototype.

Test the prototype.

Customer review.

Customer approval

Then design of that prototype for that module.

After design, coding and then testing.

Deploy to the customer.

This process continues for all the modules present in the application.

Prototype model :

It is a dummy application which is functionally not stable.

Main purpose of this model is to get the clarity of the requirement document.

It helps to improve the communication between the client and the developers so the that the end result will be most satisfying.

The client will actually get a feel about how the the software is being developed.

Advantages :

There will be a better clarity in the requirements.

Combination of the Prototype model with other models will reduces the expenses spent on the re-work.


Reasons For Drawbacks :

Delay will be more.

Investments are required to develop the prototype model.

5.Derived Models :


Here we derive the features of one model and other features are added of .our own.

Water-flow Model is also known as the mother of all models because most


Example 1. Spiral Model is derived from Water-flow Model.

Example 2. Verification -Validation Model is derived from Water-flow Model.
