QUESTION 1:
Describe the traditional waterfall model. Identify and explain each of development phases. State the advantages and disadvantages of implementing this model.

1.1 TRADITIONAL WATERFALL MODEL

The waterfall model is a sequential design process, often used in software development processes, in which progress is seen as flowing steadily downwards like a waterfall through the phases of system engineering, requirements analysis, design, construction, testing, installation and maintenance. Waterfall model also refers to a linear-sequential life cycle model. Each phase in a waterfall model must be completed fully before the next phase can begin. Basically, waterfall model is used for small project and there are no uncertain requirements. At the end of each phase in waterfall model, a review takes place to determine if the project is on the right path and whether or not to continue or discard the project. The testing phase starts only after the development is complete.
Waterfall model is used when the requirements are very well known, clear and fixed. Moreover, when product definition is stable, waterfall model will use. Waterfall model also will used when the technology is understood, no ambiguous requirements, ample resources with required expertise are available free, and the project is short.

Besides that, systems engineering also focused on the design and management of complicated engineering projects, across a wide range of engineering specialties. Not only that, systems engineering is a combination of technical and project management skills required to complete multidisciplinary projects. All tools such as modelling, simulation, requirements analysis, project management and building consensus is required to complete a complex
