1. WATERFALL MODEL
2. PROTOTYPE MODEL
3. EVOLUTIONARY MODEL
4. SPIRAL MODEL
5. FISH MODEL
1. WATERFALL MODEL:
ADVANTAGES:
1. It is a simple model.
2. Project monitoring and maintenance is very easy.
DISADVANTAGES:
1.Can't accept the new requirement in the middle of the process.
2. PROTOTYPE MODEL
ADVANTAGES:
Whenever the customers are not clear with their requirements then this is the best suitable model.
DISADVANTAGES:
a. It is not a full fledged process development model.
b. Prototype need to be built on companies cost.
c. Slightly time consuming model.

3. EVOLUTIONARY MODEL
ADVANTAGES:
Whenever the customers are evolving the requirements then this is the best suitable model. Adding the new requirements after some period of time.
DISADVANTAGES:
1. Project monitoring and maintenance is difficult.
2. Can't define the deadlines properly.
4. SPIRAL MODEL
Ex: Risk-Based Scientific projects.
ADVANTAGES:
Whenever the projects is highly risk based this is the suitable model.
DISADVANTAGES:
1. Time consuming model.
2. Costly model.
. Risk route cause analysis is not an easy task.
NOTE: Cycles depends upon Risk involved in the project and size of the project, Every class has 4 phases, except the last phase.
5. FISH MODEL
ADVANTAGES:

2. Costly model.
VERIFICATION:
Verification is the process of checking each and every role in the organization in order to confirm whether they are working according to the company's process guidelines are not.

Validation is the process of checking , conducted on the developed product or its related parts in order to confirm weather they are working according to the expectations are not.
VERIFICATION: QUALITY ASSURANCE PEOPLE(Review, Inspections, Audits, Walk through)
VALIDATION: QUALITY CONTROL PEOPLE (Testing)
6. V- MODEL:
ADVANTAGES:
As verification, validation, test management process is maintained. The outcome will be quality product.
DISADVANTAGES:
1. Time consuming model.
2. Costly model.
AGILE MODEL:
Before development of the application, where testers write the test cases and gives to the development team, so that it can be easy for developers to defect free programs.
