What is Spiral Model?When to use spiral model?Advantages & disadvantages

What is Spiral Model?

  1. In the Spiral Model development of software is carried out in part wise manner or iterative manner.

  2. In Spiral Model requirement changes can be handled in two phases :

  • Minor Change: In the same iteration we carry out changes plus add new features. Minor changes do not impact the design.

  • Major Changes: Separate iteration is carried out in case of major changes and the previous changes are destroyed. Major changes impact the design.


      3. Let us understand the Spiral Model with the help of the figure illustrated below.

  • Requirement Collection :


      In this phase requirement of
what kind of software needs to be developed is gathered.

  • Coding: In this phase, the actual development of software is done.


  • Testing: In this phase Module which is developed are tested and if any bugs are found are reverted back to developers so that they can fix it.


When to use the spiral model :

  • When the requirement is given part by part or in iterative manner spiral model is best suitable.
  • When the requirement is unclear.
  • When changes can occur at any time.

Advantages of Spiral Model :
  • Every phase is being tested.
  • Requirement changes can be handled easily.
  • At the end of every iteration, a demo is given to customer.
Disadvantages of Spiral Model :
  • It is time-consuming.


NOTE: In Spiral model after every iteration demo is given to the customer and inputs are taken from the customer and based on that input new changes are done and

if no inputs or change are mentioned by the customer then the next feature development starts.

Creating Effective Test Cases for Online Ticket Booking Systems

As technology advances, more and more businesses are offering online services to their customers. One of these services is online ticket booking, which has made it much easier for customers to purchase tickets without having to physically visit a venue. However, with this convenience comes the need for thorough testing to ensure that the system works correctly and meets user expectations. In this article, we'll cover the important test cases to consider when testing an online ticket booking system. By following these test cases, you can ensure that your system is reliable and user-friendly. Test Cases for the Login Page: Verify that the login page loads correctly and is accessible from the website's homepage. Check that the login credentials are case sensitive and the appropriate message is displayed if the user enters incorrect information. Verify that the "Forgot Password" option works as intended, allowing users to reset their password in case they forget it. Ensur

What is Derived Model?

In Derived Model, We derived the feature from one model to another and other features are added of our own. Example :   The spiral model is derived from the Water Fall Model. V - Model is also derived from Water Fall Model. Water Fall model is Known as Mother of all Models.  Also Read : What is Water Fall Model in SDLC?

Test Cases and Test scenarios: Definition, Examples, Template

What is Test case? Test case consist of detailed step's what needs to be followed in order to perform testing. Test case is a set of conditions using which tester identifies whether the software/application under test meet the requirement or works correctly. Whenever a test case is developed with valid set of data then its is called as positive test case. If the test case consist of invalid set of data then it is called as negative test case. Test Case Parameters: Test case Id: Here each and every test case is given a id. Test Case Description: It consist of details about what needs to be tested. Precondition: Precondition is a condition which needs to be satisfied before entering test cases.                Example: To forward an email from inbox the precondition is atleast one email should be present in inbox. To book a flight ticket the precondition is atleast one ticket should be available. Steps: It consist of steps to follow to perform testing. Data: It consist of data to be p
