Incremental Model

The incremental model involves dividing a software project into builds or modules. Each module passes through requirements, design, implementation, and testing phases independently. Subsequent releases add new functionality to previous releases until the full system is complete. This allows working software to be developed quickly and for customers to provide feedback on incremental builds. While it requires clear upfront planning and risks higher overall costs, the incremental model provides flexibility, lower initial costs, and helps manage risks. It is often used for web applications where some requirements may evolve over time.

INCREMENTAL MODEL

Presentation
GROUP 5:
 GHASSAN TARIQ
 ABDULLAH NAEEM

 ALI RAZA
DEFINITION:
 In incremental model the whole requirement is divided into
various builds.
 Each module (independent units) passes through the requirements,
design, implementation and testing phases.
 The incremental build model is a method of software development
where the product is designed, implemented and tested
incrementally until the product is finished.
CONT…
 Each subsequent(coming after something in time) release
of the module adds function to the previous release.
 The process continues till the complete system is
achieved.
ADVANTAGES OF INCREMENTAL
MODEL
 Generates working software quickly and early during the
software life cycle.
 This model is more flexible, less costly to change scope and
requirements.
 It is easier to test and debug during a smaller iteration.

 In this model customer can respond to each built.

 Lowers initial delivery cost.

 Easier to manage risk because risky pieces are identified and


handled during it’s iteration.
DISADVANTAGES OF INCREMENTAL
MODEL

 Needs good planning and design.


 Needs a clear and complete definition of the whole
system before it can be broken down and built
incrementally.
 Total cost is higher than waterfall.
WHEN TO USE THE INCREMENTAL
MODEL:

 Mostly such model is used in web applications and


product based companies.
 This model can be used when the requirements of the
complete system are clearly defined and understood.
 Major requirements must be defined; however, some
details can evolve with time.
 There is a need to get a product to the market early.
INCREMENTAL VS ITERATIVE MODEL
Incremental means: Iterative means:

 I write part one  I write loads of stuff that is a


 I write part two
complete mess,
 I go throwing out the
 I write part three, until
irrelevant, expanding on the
the book is Finished! important bits, and sorting
out the structure
 I go through it again now I
can start to see the shape of it,
sorting it some more
 I go through it yet again, etc,
until it's Good Enough!
