13. Match the following:
1. Waterfall Model a. Specifications can be developed incrementally
2. Evolutionary Model b. Requirements compromises are inevitable
3. Component-Based Software Engineering c. Explicit recognition of risk
4. Spiral Model d. Inflexible partitioning of the project into stages
a) 1-a, 2-b, 3-c, 4-d
b) 1-d, 2-a, 3-b, 4-c
c) 1-d, 2-b, 3-a, 4-c
d) 1-c, 2-a, 3-b, 4-d
- Waterfall Model: We can not go back in previous project phase as soon as we proceed to next phase ,So inflexible
- Evolutionary: It keeps changing with evolution so incremental in nature
- Component based: Reuse-based approach to defining, implementing and composing loosely coupled independent components into systems
- Spiral: Spiral model is the most advanced .It includes four faces one of which is Risk.
- Phases: Planning, Risk Analysis, Engineering and Evaluation

a) Robustness
b) Correctness
c) Reliability
d) Accuracy
- Robustness: The ability to withstand or overcome adverse conditions or rigorous testing.
- Correctness: the quality or state of being free from error; accuracy.
- Accuracy: the degree to which the result of a measurement, calculation, or specification conforms to the correct value or a standard.
