a)The pros of an incremental computer software process model -The cost of accommodating changing customer requirements is reduced.
The amount of analysis and documentation that has to be redone is much less than is required with the waterfall model.
-It is easier to get customer feedback on the development work that has been done.Customers can comment on demonstrations of the software and see how much has been implemented.
-More rapid delivery and deployment of useful software to the customer is possible.Customers are able to use and gain value from the software earlier than is possible with a waterfall process.

b)The cons of an incremental computer software process model.
-The process is not visible.Managers need regular deliverables to measure progress. If systems are developed quickly, it is not cost-effective to produce documents that reflect every version of the system.
-System structure tends to degrade as new increments are added. Unless time and money is spent on refactoring to improve the software, regular change tends to corrupt its structure.
-Incorporating further software changes becomes increasingly difficult and costly.
