Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)

 The software development lifecycle (SDLC) is a structured process used by software developers to design, develop, test, and deploy software applications. It encompasses several phases, including:

  • Planning: This involves defining project goals, requirements, timelines, and resources.
  • Analysis: During this phase, the project requirements are gathered, analyzed, and documented.
  • Design: In this phase, the system architecture, database design, and user interface are planned and documented.
  • Implementation: The actual coding of the software is done in this phase, following the design specifications.
  • Testing: The developed software undergoes various testing processes, including unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and user acceptance testing, to ensure that it meets the specified requirements and is free of defects.
  • Deployment: Once the software passes all testing phases, it is deployed to the production environment or made available to end-users.
  • Maintenance: After deployment, the software requires ongoing maintenance, including bug fixes, updates, and enhancements, to ensure its continued functionality and performance.

The SDLC can follow different methodologies such as Waterfall, Agile, Spiral, or Incremental, depending on the project requirements and the organization's preferences. Each phase of the SDLC contributes to the overall goal of delivering a high-quality software product that meets the needs of its users.
