   V-Model

      The famous V-Model shows the relations between *development*-lifecycle activities. There are
      several definitions and origins of the model, as well as a lot of *misunderstanding*.
      All model-derivations have multiple hierarchical levels and are based on three kind of
      activities: *design* (or definition), *integration* (or test) and *validation* (or feedback).
      The model itself is non-linear, but most implementations of the V-Model are more or less
      *sequential* in time, however.

      The **V-Model** is an extension to the older *Waterfall model*; which is linear. But many people
      regard them as the same; probably due the typical sequential execution of the V-Model. That
      *sequential* execution is often seen as a drawback of the V-Model. And used to advocate
      'modern' :term:`agile` software development methods; like :term:`scrum`.
