Why are most Internet startups willing to use incremental models for development?

There are a variety of current development models, which can be divided into the following categories: Waterfall model, rapid prototyping model, incremental model, spiral model and object-oriented development model.

Various models have different advantages and disadvantages, the applicable objects are not the same. In the current situation, however, Internet startups are more inclined to choose incremental models for development than other models. What is the reason for this?

First, we make a brief introduction to the incremental model.

Incremental model is also called the increment model, its basic idea is to start from the core function, through continuous improvement and expansion, so as to obtain a software system with high softness.

This type of model is characterized by the ability to submit parts of a product to a user in a short time, with the ability to progressively enhance the functionality of the product.

The two characteristics are the main reasons why startups choose incremental models.

As far as the current social situation is concerned, the development of products nowadays is also very efficient and effective. As a result, most customers are reluctant to wait for long periods of time. Using incremental model to develop, can meet the needs of customers as quickly as possible.

In addition, due to the rapid development of the times, not only the needs of people in time changes, hardware is also constantly improving. If the development of software is not only difficult to meet the needs of users, but also due to the development of the times to become obsolete products.

Therefore, using the incremental model to develop is a choice that meets the current trend and caters to the needs of the public. Developers can according to the actual situation does not increase the needs of various functions or to improve the bad features, as far as possible to meet customer needs, to make customer needs products.

Of course, the use of incremental models to do development is also a high demand for developers, the cost of human and material resources, easy to cause the shortage of personnel and funds. But its advantages are unmatched by other models, so most Internet companies today choose to use incremental models for development.

Above, only personal insights.
