What is SDLC Big Bang Agile RAD Models ?

SDLC Big Bang Model:

The Big Bang model is SDLC model where there is no specific process followed. The development just starts with the required money and efforts as the input, and the output is the software developed which may or may not be as per customer requirement.

B ig Bang Model is SDLC model where there is no formal development followed and very little planning is required. Even the customer is not sure about what exactly he wants and the requirements are implemented on the fly without much analysis.

Usually this model is followed for small projects where the development teams are very small.

Agile Model:

Here is a graphical illustration of the Agile Model:



SDLC Agile Model

Agile thought process had started early in the software development and started becoming popular with time due to its flexibility and adaptability.

The most popular agile methods include Rational Unified Process (1994), Scrum (1995), Crystal Clear, Extreme Programming (1996), Adaptive Software Development, Feature Driven Development, and Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) (1995). These are now collectively referred to as agile methodologies, after the Agile Manifesto was published in 2001.

Following are the Agile Manifesto principles
  • Individuals and interactions . in agile development, self-organization and motivation are important, as are interactions like co-location and pair programming.
  • Working software . Demo working software is considered the best means of communication with the customer to understand their requirement, instead of just depending on documentation.
  • Customer collaboration . As the requirements cannot be gathered completely in the beginning of the project due to various factors, continuous customer interaction is very important to get proper product requirements.
  • Responding to change . agile development is focused on quick responses to change and continuous development.
RAD Model:

Following are the typical scenarios where RAD can be used:

  • RAD should be used only when a system can be modularized to be delivered in incremental manner.
  • It should be used if there.s high availability of designers for modeling.
  • It should be used only if the budget permits use of automated code generating tools.
  • RAD SDLC model should be chosen only if domain experts are available with relevant business knowledge.
  • Should be used where the requirements change during the course of the project and working prototypes are to be presented to customer in small iterations of 2-3 months.
