Hybrid Model for Software Development Life Cycle

Abstract

This research deals with a vital and important issue in the world of computers. It is concerned with the software management processes that examine software development through development models, which are known as the software development life cycle. The main objective of this research is to design a development model that meets the needs of different systems and eliminates the defects presented in the previous development models. The present research proposes a model, the hybrid model which combines the features of the five common development models: waterfall, iteration, spiral, v-shaped and extreme programming. The proposed model in this research has the advantages and some features of the previous models with some modification. Because of this, it avoids and overcomes many software problems that existed in the previous models. Thus, the newly proposed model is an integrated model, which is relevant to most software programs and systems.
