Models & Methodologies

    In computer programming, the systematic procedure used to create software applications is referred to as process methodology. The waterfall technique is one of the most widely used process methodologies in programming. This methodology follows a linear process that starts with requirement gathering and concludes with software deployment. Requirements gathering, design, implementation, verification, and deployment are among the six stages that make up this process. Every stage addresses every aspect of the development process, and each one is followed by the start of the next.

    In order to create a trustworthy and useful programme, a sequence of procedures must be taken. According to Pressman & Maxim (2018), process methodology has five fundamental stages:

• Requirement Stage: Finding out which stakeholders are interested in the product and determining their needs are part of the requirement collecting phase. This phase entails the development of user stories, user research to identify business requirements, and the development of functional requirements that satisfy user needs.

• Design Stage: The software solution is developed at the design stage using the results of the requirement analysis stage. It involves building wireframes, the software architecture, the visual design, and interaction designs.

• Implementation Stage: The actual software coding takes place in the implementation step. It requires creating modules, establishing up infrastructure, and setting up databases.

• Verification Stage: The Verification stage involves testing the software to ensure that it complies with system requirements and that its codes work as intended.

• Development Stage: The programme is moved from the development environment to the production or live environment during the deployment stage so that end users can access it.

In conclusion, the methodology of the programming process is a crucial strategy for software development. According to its criteria, stages, and objectives, each approach creates software. One strategy employed in programming is called the waterfall methodology, and it guarantees companies a step-by-step execution of the software development process.
