V-model (development process)

The V-model is a project development process that emphasizes a structured approach to creating software or systems. It visually resembles a "V," with the left side representing the specification and design phases, where requirements are defined and system architecture is created. The bottom of the V is the implementation or coding phase. The right side signifies testing and validation activities that correspond to each earlier phase, ensuring each component works correctly before moving forward. This model promotes early verification and validation, helping identify issues early, which leads to more reliable and quality outcomes.
