Software Development Life Cycle
Software Development Life Cycle
SDLC is a systematic process for designing, developing, testing, and deploying software.
Phases of SDLC:
1. Planning:
Define the project scope, goals, and resources.
Example: What problem does the software solve? What are the time and
budget constraints?
2. Requirement Analysis:
Gather and document user requirements.
Tools: Use cases, user stories, and interviews.
3. Design:
Create architecture diagrams, data flow diagrams, and UI mockups.
Example: Determine the database schema and interface layout.
4. Implementation:
Developers write code using chosen programming languages and
frameworks.
Example: Use Git for version control and collaboration.
5. Testing:
Verify functionality, performance, and security.
Types: Unit testing, integration testing, and system testing.
6. Deployment:
Release the software to users.
Example: Host on a server or deploy on app stores.
7. Maintenance:
Update the software based on user feedback or technological
advancements.
