Arendusmudelitega

Arendusmudelitega, literally “with development models” in Estonian, is a phrase used to describe a methodical approach to project and product development where one or more development models guide and structure the work. The term is not a single formal framework but a descriptive expression that can appear in academic writings, consulting reports, and discussions about software and systems engineering.

In practice, arendusmudelitega denotes integrating or adapting development models to the project context. Teams may combine iterative or incremental life cycles with validation-focused models, or apply agile practices within a broader modeling framework. Central elements often include requirements modeling, system or software design modeling, testing and verification, and continuous refinement.

Modeling tools such as UML, BPMN, or domain-specific models are commonly used to realise arendusmudelitega approaches. The emphasis is on clear modeling of requirements and designs to support communication, traceability and decision-making throughout the development process.

The term is predominantly used in Estonian-language discourse on software and systems engineering and is not a fixed, standalone standard. Its exact meaning and scope vary by author and project, but it generally signals a model-based, structured approach to development. See also arendusmudel (development model) for related terminology.
