Prototype model

Prototype model
• It is a simple software development life cycle model(SDLC).
• It is an advanced version of waterfall model
• Most probably, used in Software GUI Development.
 Prototype model
• Only difference between waterfall model and Prototype model is that
it’s all phases are not in linear approach, where as in water fall model
it’s all phases are in linear approach.
