What is the main purpose of the Spiral model in software development?
ATo build software in a single linear sequence
BTo complete all planning before any coding starts
CTo manage risks by developing software in repeated cycles
DTo focus only on testing after development is complete
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand the Spiral model approach
The Spiral model develops software in cycles, focusing on risk management and gradual improvement.
Step 2: Compare options with model purpose
Only To manage risks by developing software in repeated cycles correctly describes managing risks through repeated cycles, unlike linear or single-phase approaches.
Final Answer:
To manage risks by developing software in repeated cycles -> Option C
Quick Check:
Spiral model = risk management cycles [OK]
Quick Trick:Spiral model = repeated cycles with risk focus [OK]
Common Mistakes:
Thinking it's a linear model
Assuming all planning is done upfront
Believing testing happens only at the end
