Abstract

Software development life cycle (SDLC) is an approach which can be used in a software industry for designing and maintaining information. Among many SDLC models, the spiral model is a genuine methodology to the development of large scale systems and software. There are many problems and limitations encountered by the software systems like allocating the number of workers and resources which further results in major deficiencies like budget overruns, dissatisfied client and late delivery. In the software industry various types of software projects arrive in unsystematic inter arrival of time for development of software products. The goal of any software industry is to achieve the maximum productivity by using minimum resources. Therefore, to achieve the maximum productivity and to conclude the optimal resources for each phase of software life cycle model, simulation of Spiral SDLC model with the use of Simphony.NET tool is outlined in this paper. This paper presents simulation and modelling for the Spiral software development life cycle model.Keywords: Simulation, modelling, SDLC, simphony.NET, software engineering, spiral model Cite this ArticleSonia Thind, Karambir.
