A Hybrid Model for The Software Development Life Cycle

Abstract: This study addresses an important and critical problem in the area of information technology. The software development life cycle, also known as development models, is the subject of software management practices that analyze software development. The main purpose of this research is to craft a development model that meet the requirements of various system and eliminate the defect of earlier model. This study suggests a hybrid model that incorporates elements from the five most popular development models: waterfall, iteration, spiral, V-shaped, and extreme programming. Through some modifications, the model suggested in this study maintains some of the characteristics and advantages of previous models. As a result, it avoids and resolves many of the software issues that plagued previous models. Therefore, the model we have just suggested is an integrated model that applies to most software applications and systems.
