Q2.
Agile and waterfall are two distinctive methodologies of processes to complete
projects or work items.
Agile is an iterative methodology that incorporates a cyclic and collaborative
process.
Waterfall is a sequential methodology that can also be collaborative, but tasks are
generally handled in a more linear process.
KEY DIFFERENCES:
-Agile models follow the concept of consistent growth during the project itself so
that afterward it reduces the risk of completing the requirements.
-Waterfall technique is a sequential design process.
The system requirements and architecture are evaluated and analyzed during the
elaboration phase. The elaboration phase involves analyzing products and laying the
groundwork for future architecture.
During this phase, the project team gains a comprehensive understanding of the
system. The requirements are elaborated and refined in this phase, and a
preliminary design is created. The objective of the elaboration phase is to produce
a comprehensive and accurate description of the system to be built.
The construction phase of the Rational Unified Process is the longest and most
complex. This phase takes place over a period of six months, with each month
divided into two two-week iterations. In this process, the focus is on cost and
resource management and quality assurance.
The application is built and tested in the construction stage of RUP. This includes
creating components, testing those components, and then assembling the pieces into
a working system. During construction, developers create software components and
test them to ensure they meet the requirements specified in earlier phases. To do
this effectively, developers need to understand the system’s architecture and
design clearly.
=>Benefits of RUP
It allows you to deal with changing requirements regardless of whether they are
coming from the customer or from the project itself.
It emphasizes the need for accurate documentation.
It forces integration to happen throughout the software development, more
specifically in the construction phase.
