Water Fall Model

What is the key characteristic of the waterfall model?

• A. Development is carried out in an unordered sequence.

• B. All stages are completed simultaneously.

• C. Each stage is completed before moving on to the next.

• D. There is no documentation required in the process

Which phase in the waterfall model ensures that the solution meets the customer’s requirements?

• A. Design

• B. Implementation

• C. Verification

• D. Maintenance

Why is the waterfall model considered simple to use?

• A. All requirements are finalized at the end of the project.

• B. Each stage is distinct and separate from others.

• C. It does not require customer feedback during any phase.

• D. All stages are completed randomly for flexibility.

What is a disadvantage of the waterfall model?

• A. Client involvement is continuous throughout the project.

• B. The customer only sees the product at the end of the project.

• C. It does not require documentation.

• D. Progress is easy to measure in each stage.

What happens if requirements change during the waterfall process?

• A. The model allows for seamless adaptation.

• B. Progress continues without accommodating changes

• C. The entire process must restart from the beginning.

• D. Changes are incorporated during the maintenance phase.

Why is the waterfall model not ideal for complex projects?

• A. It does not involve any client feedback.

• B. It takes too long to deliver the project.

• C. Complex requirements are not easily understood at the start.

• D. It relies entirely on iterative processes.

What is a key advantage of having thorough documentation in the waterfall model?

• B. Helps onboard new team members quickly.

• C. Ensures that no feedback is required from the client.

• D. Eliminates the need for maintenance.

In which scenario is the waterfall model most effective?

• A. When requirements are unclear and may change frequently.

• B. When the project is large and involves high complexity.

• C. When the requirements are well-defined and stable.

• D. When client feedback is needed at every stage.

What makes progress measurement difficult in the waterfall model?

• A. Each stage's milestones are limited to the beginning and end.

• B. It relies on continuous client involvement for measurement.

• C. All stages are completed simultaneously, making it unclear.

• D. There is no documentation to track progress.

Why is the waterfall model fundamentally flawed?

• A. It accommodates too many changes to the requirements.

• B. It does not rely on user feedback at all.

• C. Requirements are assumed to be clearly defined from the start.

• D. It focuses on delivering small increments of functionality.
