Waterfall Model Steps
Winston Royce - does not allow going back a step
System Requirements Software Requirements Analysis Program Design Coding Testing Operations
Waterfall Model (Modified) Allows for going back at least on step
System Feasability/Validation Software Plans & Requirements/Validation Analysis/Verification Program Design/Verification Coding/Unit Test Testing/Product Verification Operations/Product Verification Operations/Revalidation
