Abstract

Software development life cycle (SDLC) models offer a systematic approach to software development, guiding from conception to deployment and maintenance [4]. This paper compares five prominent SDLC models: Waterfall, V-Model, Incremental, Spiral, and Agile, analyzing their phases, activities, and execution order, to provide insights into selecting the most suitable model for a project. The analysis focuses on the phases, activities, and the order of execution inherent in each model, highlighting their respective strengths and weaknesses. The comparison aims to offer guidance on selecting the most suitable model based on project requirements, risks, and flexibility needs.
