    The document introduces several software life cycle models: 1) The waterfall model is a linear sequential approach consisting of distinct phases completed in order. 2) Prototyping is an iterative approach where a prototype is built, tested, and reworked until acceptable. 3) Spiral models emphasize risk management and flexibility to introduce changes as a project progresses. 4) Evolution models similarly focus on identifying and reducing risks through iterative development. It also discusses the importance of conducting a feasibility study to determine if a solution is practical and financially viable before fully developing a project.

    Introduction to Software

    Life Cycle Models

    The software life cycle model is a conceptual framework for describing the
    stages involved in the development, maintenance of software. It encompasses all
    activities used to design, develop, test, and deploy software. Understanding the
    different software life cycle models is crucial for making informed decisions
    about the development process.

    Spiral Models
    Evolution and Spiral Models: Adaptive
    Approaches

    1 Overview
    The evolution and spiral models are iterative approaches to software development, focusing on
    risk management and the ability to introduce changes as the project progresses.

    2 Characteristics
    These models emphasize identifying and reduce risks at the earliest stages, giving flexibility to
    handle changes, and allowing for the gradual development of the full system.

    3 Applications
    They are suitable for large, complex, and high-risk projects where it's crucial to continuously
    evaluate progress and adapt to evolving requirements.

    Importance in Software Development


    It ensures that the project is viable and valuable, minimizing the likelihood of wasted resources
    on impractical projects. It helps in making informed decisions about investing in a particular
    project.
