Which statement correctly explains the flow of phases in the Waterfall testing model?
APhases overlap and testing occurs throughout the project
BEach phase must be completed before the next phase begins
CTesting is done before the design phase starts
DRequirements and testing phases happen simultaneously
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand Waterfall model flow
The Waterfall model is a linear sequential approach where each phase is completed fully before moving on.
Step 2: Analyze options
Each phase must be completed before the next phase begins correctly states the sequential nature. Options B, C, and D describe overlapping or simultaneous phases, which are incorrect for Waterfall.
Final Answer:
Each phase must be completed before the next phase begins -> Option B
Quick Check:
Waterfall is strictly sequential [OK]
Quick Trick:Waterfall phases follow strict sequence, no overlap [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
Assuming phases overlap in Waterfall
Believing testing starts before implementation
Confusing Waterfall with iterative models
