Question

A software project follows a spiral model for development. Which of the following statements is true about the spiral model compared to the traditional waterfall model?

• A. The spiral model eliminates the need for risk analysis because all requirements are known upfront.
• B. The spiral model allows iterative refinement of the system through multiple loops, incorporating risk assessment at each iteration.
• C. In the spiral model, testing is performed only at the end, similar to the waterfall model.
• D. The spiral model is suitable only for small projects with well-understood requirements.

Hint:

Whenever you see the word "Spiral Model," immediately look for the keyword "Risk." It is the only major SDLC model that explicitly builds a risk analysis step into every single iteration.
