Generic process model Software Engineering

Generic process model

The generic process model is an abstraction of the software development process.
It is used in most software since it provides a base for them.

The generic process model encompasses the following five steps:

1. Communication
2. Planning
3. Modelling
4. Construction
5. Deployment



Communication

In this step, we communicate with the clients and end-users.

 We discuss the requirements of the project with the users.
 The users give suggestions on the project. If any changes are difficult to
implement, we work on alternative ideas.
Planning

In this step, we plan the steps for project development. After completing the final
discussion, we report on the project.

 Planning plays a key role in the software development process.
 We discuss the risks involved in the project.
Modelling

In this step, we create a model to understand the project in the real world. We
showcase the model to all the developers. If changes are required, we implement
them in this step.

 We develop a practical model to get a better understanding of the project.

Construction

In this step, we follow a procedure to develop the final product.

 If any code is required for the project development, we implement it in this
phase.
 We also test the project in this phase.
Deployment

In this phase, we submit the project to the clients for their feedback and add any
missing requirements.
