Critical Review of Extended Waterfall Model [ ]


Software product quality improvement is a desired attribute and a strenuous effort is required to achieve that.Usability is also a desired attribute as it helps in identifying how effectively user achieves product goals.Concrete efforts to integrate Software Engineering and Human Computer Interaction exist in the form of models by many researchers. Better user experience is an oft expressed and desired quality of the products designed nowadays.Many efforts in this regard lead to various proposals of smooth integration of SE (software engineering) processes with HCI (human computer integration) for product development. One such effort is extended waterfall process model. This paper presents a critical review of extended waterfall model. It also suggests means to bring nearer the two diverse communities of SE and HCI.
