Good Afternoon

I\'d like to get a detailed, clear, and well articulated answer to the below question. Please use correct english and grammar and proof-read your response. Please provide at least 2 detailed paragraphs, and provide at least one example. Please provide an abstract, and an overview of the 2 methods, before you go into describing the differences. PLEASE DO NOT COPY (PLAGARISM) OFF THE INTERNET.

In terms of software application development, what do you think are the three (3) most important differences between the Waterfall methodology and the Agile methodology?

Solution

Okay so let’s start,

A brief abstract on what is the Waterfall Methodology: -

It is a sequential methodology to design a software using a step by step process to develop the software. In this method, we cannot go back to any previous step to make any changes to the old stages of the process and is Irreversible.

Agile Methodology: -

In Agile Methodology, it uses the concept of an umbrella, and the main benefit of the method is that we can go back to any previous step if needed to make any changes if needed and we don\'t have to start the project all over again, if we have a major error.

Example: -

If a software development company uses the water flow model techniques to design a software for its customers according to the requirements provided by the customer, and just in case the customer changes its requirements and wants to add/remove some features, the software company has to start all over again to make the software product and will be a waste of time, but it is not so in the Agile model.

Differences between Waterfall and Agile Methodology: -

1.Waterfall model is a non-Iterative model, that is we cannot go back to a step to make any changes, once the step is completed. But in Agile model it is Possible to so, and make the required changes as per the customer, and provide a better software.

2.We cannot test or run a part of the software until and unless the complete software is developed and compiled, and if an error is detected in any of the starting stages, it becomes difficult for the developer to do it again. But in Agile methodology it is easy to run a part of the software and check for any errors and then move forward to the next part.

3.Waterfall method is used when quality is more important. But when a software is needed in a less duration of time with a bit of compromise in the quality, Agile method is preferred as it can be used at any stage and can be complied and tested.
