Software Development Security

Software Development Models

  • Waterfall

    • Requires each phase to be completed before moving onto the next​

    • And once you move onto the next phase, you can't go back to the previous phase

    • This is not flexible and is too rigid for today's dynamic coding environments

    • So I don't think this is really used anymore

  • Modified Waterfall

    • An improvement on the Waterfall method in that you can go back a step if you need to​
