Software is designed but not manufactured, does not wear out, and is engineered using sound principles to create economical and fully-functional products. There are two main software engineering models: the waterfall model is a linear process involving requirement gathering, planning, design, coding, testing, and maintenance but faces issues with changes. The RAD model follows an iterative approach where functional modules are developed in parallel as prototypes and integrated for faster delivery.

It is engineered or designed but its not manufactured in classical
sense. It doesn’t wear out. What is Software engineering? It is the establishment or use of sound engineering principles to make fully working and economical software products which can work flawlessly on real machines. Software engineering models: Waterfall Model: This model is the linear or sequential way of developing a software. In this model requirement gathering, planning, designing, coding, testing, deployment and maintenance are the major steps. This is also called as classical model of software development. Many criticize done over this model as development team can face confusion when changes has to be made. It will be best to use in the scenario where we are crystal clear about all phases at once so that there is no need to look after once we started working. Some found that there exist blocking states in waterfall model where the team member need to stop for other members if there is dependent task. So it takes longer time to complete task than it actually should take. So for new real projects applying waterfall model can be disastrous. RAD Model: RAD projects follow iterative and incremental model. RAD stands for Rapid Application Development. In the RAD model, the functional modules are developed in parallel as prototypes and are integrated to make the complete product for faster product delivery.
