 INTRODUCTION
The goal of software engineering is to create
high-quality, maintainable software efficiently,
which necessitates the use of mature processes
that involve measuring the software process.

 SPIRAL o Barry Boehm introduced this
MODEL model in 1986 to address
project risk in SDLC.
o The model's radial dimension
shows cumulative costs, and
the angular dimension
represents progress through
phases in 360-degree loops.
o It consists of four sectors:
Planning, Risk analysis,
Development, and
Assessment, each ending with
a review by relevant
stakeholders.

Hence, we can say that SDLC models guide the
process of creating software systems in an intuitive
and systematic way to produce good quality software
that is easy to maintain whilst simultaneously
satisfying the customer’s needs.
