Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to classmates or your faculty member.
Due Day 3
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
- Review “What is a Software Process Model?” from Visual Paradigm. There are several models used in software development, and two well-known ones are Waterfall and a multiple-components incremental. The phases requirements, design, implementation, test, and maintenance are executed differently in the Waterfall versus a multiple-components incremental model.
- If you were hired as a software engineer to design a mobile application, describe how the phases will be executed differently in these two models. Also, discuss an advantage you see in using one model over the other.

Robustness testing measures the behavior of the system under non-standard conditions. Certain inputs may be tested that can ultimately trigger a system to crash or overload in order to assess how a system may fail. Multiple tools are available to perform robustness testing. You can use tools to do robustness testing.
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
- Consider the need for robust software testing techniques.
- Determine the characteristics for a software testing environment that best supports testing the software application you are developing.
- Discuss the software testing environment you would create and how the environment would support the software testing processes and help the software development project meet its quality goals.
