1.3.1 Introduction to Software Process Models
Software process models are abstract representations of the processes involved in the SDLC. They provide a framework for planning, structuring, and controlling the development of software systems. The importance of software process models lies in their ability to provide:
- Predictability: By following a defined process, teams can predict outcomes and manage risks more effectively.
- Efficiency: Structured methodologies streamline the development process, reducing wasted effort.
- Quality: Adhering to a process model ensures that quality assurance practices are integrated throughout the SDLC.
