Research of Contrast between Waterfall Model and Prototype Model

Rishika Srivastava

Abstract: The software development process is complex and requires a structured approach to ensure successful completion. There are various models that can be used for software development, with the Waterfall Model and the Prototype Model being two of the most commonly used. The waterfall model follows a sequential and linear approach, while the prototype model involves building a preliminary version of the software that can be refined and improved upon. This paper compares and contrasts the waterfall model and the prototype model, examining their advantages and disadvantages, and suitability for different types of projects.
