diff b/w waterfall model & spiral model?

Answer Posted / dariush

Waterfall Model:
-Series of stages carried out in sequence
-Products of each stage subject to QA inspections
-Only if the products are acceptable is the stage signed off
and the next allowed to start
-Each new stage starts from an agreed baseline established
at preceding stage
-In reality stages will overlap
-No stage is repeated unless a radical change of project scope
-Waterfall may provide a good starting point for structuring
the project
-Can be useful for inexperienced practitioners
Easy to build a simple plan around

Spiral Model:

-When requirements are not well known in advance spiral
model may provide an alternative
-An iterative approach to developing a system
--High level requirement specification is drawn up
--Tested by building a prototype solution
--Prototype is reviewed and requirements are clarified or
changed and amended requirements specification is issued
-The cycle is repeated until requirements are stable and
users approve the deign
-At the beginning of the spiral the focus is on requirements
issues
-At the end concentrates with technical issues
-Iterations can spiral out of control if not tightly managed
--Each iteration will lead to requests for change
--Difficult to call a halt to the process resulting in
projects running late and over budget
-Scope can be difficult to manage
-Final solution can be inadequately documented and poorly
structured
--Prototypes can be viewed as tool for capturing
requirements eliminating design stage
-Can lead to false user expectations
-Early prototypes raise expectations that final solution is
imminent

I know functional test cases are derived from frs and system design specs. But are test cases for performance, database, boundary, relational integrity and other types of tests other than functional tests created from frs and system design specs as well? When are these test cases created? Are they in the same test plans alongside functional test cases or is their a different test plan that includes these test cases?
