ABSTRACT

In Section II, Life Cycle Testing Review, the waterfall development methodology was reviewed along with the associated testing activities. The life cycle development methodology consists of distinct phases from requirements to coding. Life cycle testing means that testing occurs in parallel with the development life cycle and is a continuous process. Although the life cycle or waterfall development is very effective for many large applications requiring a lot of computer horsepower, for example, DOD, financial, security-based, and so on, it has a number of shortcomings.
