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’ agile software development methods; like scrum.
