+\chapter{A revised porting model} \label{sec:revised-porting-model}
+
+Given that the model of porting presented in Chapter~\ref{sec:background} was
+crafted for the particular use case of one project~\cite{tanaka} and we wanted
+to use a more general porting model, we revised the old porting model and
+modified it so that it could match more porting projects.
+
+In the revised model, we keep the \textit{General duties} and \textit{Advance
+preparations} tasks and modify the \textit{Workstation testing} and
+\textit{Target testing}. We do these changes because we want to emhpasize the
+allocated time between testing and development with the \textit{Building for
+target environment} and \textit{Testing} tasks.
+
+Following is the revised model:
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item Advance preparations
