Questions and Answers

What is the main characteristic of the Waterfall model?

  • Iterative and incremental approach
  • Allows for continuous refinement based on feedback
  • Late changes to requirements or design are limited (correct)
  • Develops a preliminary version of a software system quickly
  • In which scenario would the Waterfall model be most suitable?

  • When requirements and implementations are clearly understood at the project's start (correct)
  • When rapid iterations and refinements are required
  • When flexibility and adaptation are key to project success
  • When stakeholder feedback is crucial for development
  • What distinguishes the Prototype Model from the Waterfall model?

  • Limited changes to requirements or design
  • Development of a basic working model early in the project (correct)
  • It is an iterative and incremental approach
  • Refinement based on stakeholder feedback
  • Which type of prototype shows human-machine interaction to understand the level of interaction in the desired software?
