HYBRID MODEL

It combines 2 or more models and modify them as per business requirements.

Hybrid model of V&V and Prototype model

We go for this model when,

1) Testing starts from early stages of product development which avoids downward flow of defects, thus reducing re-work.

2) When customer is expecting a very high quality product within stipulated time frame because every stage is tested and developers and testing team work in parallel.

3) When client and developers are both new to the domain

4) When customer is not clear about his own requirements

In this hybrid model, the testing team is involved in testing the prototype.
