• SSADM: Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method.
• OOM：Object-Oriented Method.

categorize

• Is a data-oriented or process-oriented system to be implemented?
• Will the software that is to be produced be a general tool or application specific?
• Are there specific tools available for implementing the particular type of application?
• Concurrent processing, knowledge-based, heavy use of computer graphics?
• Is the system to be created safety critical?
• Is the system designed primarily to carry out predefined services or to be engaging and entertaining?
• What is the nature of the hardware/software environment in which the system will operate?

Choice of process models

• The waterfall model
• The spiral model
• Software prototyping
• Incremental delivery
