Answers
1) What Is SDLC?

SDLC is an abbreviation of Software Development Life Cycle. SDLC is series of


steps that offers a defined model for the development and lifecycle management of an
application.
2) Name five Models used in SDLC

 Waterfall model
 Rapid Application Development (RAD) model
 Agile model
 Iterative model
 Spiral model

3) Explain Phases of the waterfall model

The five-main phase of waterfall model are:

 Requirements gathering
 Design
 Development
 Testing
 Implementation & Maintenance
4 ) In which step of SDLC project early termination could be done?
 In the SDLC process, project termination can be performed in the feasibility
study phase.

5) Briefly explain Testing Phase

Different testing methodologies are practiced detecting the software bugs, which
happen to take birth during the previous phases. Today, there are many types of
testing tools, and methodologies are available. Few firs are also building their testing
tools, which are custom made as per the need or their organizations.
