Formal Development Model

Formal Specification Formal software specifications are mathematical entities and may be analyzed using mathematical methods. Specification consistency and completeness can be proved mathematically. Formal specifications may be automatically processed. Software tools can be used to build programs...

The Spiral Model

This model is an evolutionary software process model that couples the iterative nature of prototyping with the controlled and systematic aspects of the linear sequential model. Using the spiral model software is developed in a series of incremental releases. During early iterations, the incremental...

Component Based Software Engineering

Emphasizes the design and construction of computer based systems using software “components”. The process relies on reusable software components. Similar to the characteristics of the spiral model. Requirement specification and validation steps are similar to the other processes. Component Analysis During...
