Comparison of Waterfall, Prototype, and Agile Development
Introduction
This article seeks to provide information about different development strategies, comparing their efficacy through empirical research.
Background
Over the past few years, the trend in software development has been to use an agile approach. Before this, traditional approaches required precise and extensive planning, which left the process vulnerable to changing requirements and unforeseen problems. Agile development, on the other hand, attempts to adapt to changing conditions and requirements. Similarly, prototyping helps decide what specifications and features should be implemented in a product by providing a working model that users can interact with, thus providing more beneficial feedback.
