A team following the Waterfall model started Testing before completing Implementation. What is the main problem with this approach?
ATesting before Implementation breaks the Waterfall sequence and may cause incomplete tests.
BTesting early improves quality and is recommended in Waterfall.
CImplementation and Testing can happen simultaneously in Waterfall.
DSkipping Design phase is acceptable if Testing starts early.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Recall Waterfall phase order and rules

    Waterfall requires completing one phase fully before starting the next.
  2. Step 2: Identify issue with starting Testing before Implementation

    Testing before Implementation means testing incomplete or missing code, violating the model's sequence.
  3. Final Answer:

    Testing before Implementation breaks the Waterfall sequence and may cause incomplete tests. -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Waterfall = phases done fully in order [OK]
Quick Trick: Waterfall phases must finish fully before next starts [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking Testing can start early in Waterfall
  • Believing Implementation and Testing overlap
  • Assuming Design phase can be skipped
