Definition/
Use Product development models represent an evolutionary revision of the traditional software life cycle models /MacCornack, 2001/. The revisions arose due to the availability of new software development technologies such as software prototyping languages and environments, reusable software, application generators, and documentation support environments. Each of these technologies seeks to enable the creation of executable software implementations either in the software development effort or more rapidly. Therefore, in this regard, the models of software development may be implicit in the use of the technology, rather than explicitly articulated. This is possible because such models become increasingly intuitive to those developers whose favorable experiences with these technologies substantiate their use. Thus, detailed examination of these models is most appropriate when such technologies are available for use or experimentation.
