(A) WINWIN Spiral Model
(B) Spiral Model
(C) Concurrent Model
(D) Incremental Model
View Answer
Explanation: When applied to client/server applications, the concurrent process model defines activities in two dimensions: a system dimension and a component dimension.Thus Concurrency is achieved by system and component activities occurring simultaneously and can be modeled using the state-oriented approach.
5. One can choose Waterfall Model if the project development schedule is tight.
(A) True
(B) False
