Model

Waterfall
Incremental development
Reuse-oriented

Characteristic

Takes fundamental process activities and represents them as separate sequential phases
Interleaves specification, development and validation; system developed as a series of versions each adding functionality
Based on a large base of reusable components; focuses on integrating these into a system rather than developing them from scratch

Correct Answer

(1) Waterfall,Takes fundamental process activities and represents them as separate sequential phases
(2) Incremental development,Interleaves specification, development and validation; system developed as a series of versions each adding functionality
(3) Reuse-oriented,Based on a large base of reusable components; focuses on integrating these into a system rather than developing them from scratch

Explanation

Waterfall: fundamental activities as separate sequential phases. Incremental development: specification, development and validation interleaved; system built as a series of versions. Reuse-oriented: based on reusable components; focuses on integration rather than development from scratch.
