To satisfy the need of automate the different activities and satisfy the need of some standard and structural procedure or methodology which to be introduced in the industry so that the transition from manual to automated system became easy. This leads to the concept of System Development Lifecycle (SDLC) Models came into existence that emphasized on the need to follow some structured approach towards building new or improved system. There are five development models namely Linear Sequential Model, Iterative Model, Prototype Model, Spiral Model, V-shaped Model. All these models have cons as well as prons. The main objective of this research is to represent the different models of software development and make a comparative study of them to show the features and defects of each model. Keywords: Software Development Model (SDLC), Linear Sequential Model, Incremental Model, Prototype Model, Spiral Model, V-Shape Model.
