What is the concurrent development model?

Answer 1

The concurrent development model, sometimes called concurrent engineering

The concurrent process model can be represented schematically as a series of major

technical activities, tasks, and their associated states. For example, the engineering

activity defined for the spiral model is accomplished by invoking the following tasks: prototyping and/or analysis modeling, requirements specification,

and design.

The activity-analysis-may be in any one of the states noted at any given time. Similarly, other activities (e.g., design or customer communication) can be represented in an analogous manner. All activities exist concurrently but reside in different states. For example, early in a project the customer communication

activity has completed its first iteration and exists in the awaiting changes state. The analysis activity (which existed in the none state while initial customer

communication was completed) now makes a transition into the under development state. If, however, the customer indicates that changes in requirements must be made, the analysis activity moves from the under development state into the awaiting changes state.

The concurrent process model defines a series of events that will trigger transitions

from state to state for each of the software engineering activities.
