1814Software EngineeringMedium

The spiral model has two dimensions namely and ?

Aradial, perpendicular

Bdiagonal, perpendicular

Cdiagonal, angular

Dradial, angular

Correct answer

D. radial, angular

Explanation

Explanation: The radial dimension of the model represents the cumulative costs and the angular dimension represents the progress made in completing each cycle. Each loop of the spiral from X-axis clockwise through 360o represents one phase.
