The Waterfall model is a straightforward and traditional approach to software development. It is called "waterfall" because the process flows downwards through distinct phases, similar to a waterfall.
Here’s a simple breakdown of its stages:
Requirements: In this first phase, developers gather and document what the software needs to do. This involves talking to stakeholders and users to understand their needs.
Design: Once the requirements are clear, the next step is to plan how the software will be structured. This includes designing the architecture, user interfaces, and data models.
Implementation (or Coding): After the design is complete, developers start writing the actual code to build the software.
Testing: Once the software is built, it goes through testing to find and fix any bugs or issues. This ensures that the software works as intended and meets the requirements.
Deployment: After testing, the software is released to users. This is when it becomes available for use.
Maintenance: After deployment, the software may need updates, bug fixes, or enhancements based on user feedback. This is an ongoing process.
