A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the V-Model
In the late 1980s two countries, Germany and the United States, simultaneously but independently developed a V-Model. While the two models are similar in concept, they differ enough to be considered alternative approaches. The German V-Modell was developed in part by IABG in Ottobrunn, near Munich in cooperation with the Federal Office for Defence Technology […]
The Spiral Model
