V-Model

The V-Model represents a software development process (also applicable to hardware

development) which may be considered an extension of the waterfall model. Instead of

moving down in a linear way, the process steps are bent upwards after the coding phase, to

form the typical V shape. The V-Model demonstrates the relationships between each phase of

the development life cycle and its associated phase of testing. The horizontal and vertical

axes represents time or project completeness (left-to-right) and level of abstraction (coarsest-

grain abstraction uppermost), respectively.

It is a product-development process originally developed in Germany for government

defense projects. It has become a common standard in software development. The V-Model

gets its name from the fact that the process is often mapped out as a flowchart that takes the

form of the letter V.

Below are the definitions of each phase of the V-Model:
