History
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
A software life cycle model (also termed process model) is a pictorial and diagrammatic
representation of the software life cycle. A life cycle model represents all the methods
required
to make a software product transit through its life cycle stages. It also captures the structure
in
which these methods are to be undertaken.

Stage1: Planning and requirement analysis

Requirement Analysis is the most important and necessary stage in SDLC.
The senior members of the team perform it with inputs from all the stakeholders and domain
experts or SMEs in the industry.
Planning for the quality assurance requirements and identifications of the risks associated
with the projects is also done at this stage. Business analyst and Project organizer set up a
meeting with the client to gather all the data like
what the customer wants to build, who will be the end user, what is the objective of the
product.
Before creating a product, a core understanding or knowledge of the product is very
necessary.
For Example, A client wants to have an application which concerns money transactions. In
this method, the requirement has to be precise like what kind of operations will be done, how
it will be done, in which currency it will be done, etc.
Once the required function is done, an analysis is complete with auditing the feasibility of the
growth of a product. In case of any ambiguity, a signal is set up for further discussion.
Once the requirement is understood, the SRS (Software Requirement Specification)
document is created. The developers should thoroughly follow this document and also should
be reviewed by the customer for future reference.
Stage2: Defining Requirements
Once the requirement analysis is done, the next stage is to certainly represent and document
the software requirements and get them accepted from the project stakeholders.
This is accomplished through "SRS"- Software Requirement Specification document which
contains all the product requirements to be constructed and developed during the project life
cycle.
Stage3: Designing the Software
The next phase is about to bring down all the knowledge of requirements, analysis, and
design of the software project. This phase is the product of the last two, like inputs from the
customer and requirement gathering.
Stage4: Developing the project
In this phase of SDLC, the actual development begins, and the programming is built. The
implementation of design begins concerning writing code. Developers have to follow the
coding guidelines described by their management and programming tools like compilers,
interpreters,debuggers, etc. are used to develop and implement the code.
Stage5: Testing
After the code is generated, it is tested against the requirements to make sure that the
products are solving the needs addressed and gathered during the requirements stage. During
this stage, unit testing, integration testing, system testing, acceptance testing are done.
Stage6: Deployment
Once the software is certified, and no bugs or errors are stated, then it is deployed.
Then based on the assessment, the software may be released as it is or with suggested
enhancement in the object segment.
After the software is deployed, then its maintenance begins.
Stage7: Maintenance
Once when the client starts using the developed systems, then the real issues come up and
requirements to be solved from time to time.
This procedure where the care is taken for the developed product is known as maintenance.

SDLC MODELS

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Models :

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a structured process for developing software
applications. Various models have been developed to manage and streamline this process. Here are
some of the most common SDLC models:

Waterfall Model:
Description: A linear and sequential approach where each phase must be completed before
the next begins.
Phases: Requirements, Design, Implementation, Testing, Deployment, Maintenance.
Advantages: Simple and easy to understand; works well for small projects with well-defined
requirements.
Disadvantages: Inflexible to changes; difficult to go back to previous phases.

V-Model (Validation and Verification Model):

Description: An extension of the Waterfall model that emphasizes verification and
validation. Each development phase has a corresponding testing phase.
Phases: Requirements, System Design, Architecture Design, Module Design, Coding, Unit
Testing, Integration Testing, System Testing, Acceptance Testing.
Advantages: Early detection of defects; clear project milestones.
Disadvantages: Still inflexible; not suitable for projects with unclear requirements.

Incremental Model:
Description: Development is carried out in small, manageable increments or modules. Each
increment adds functional capabilities.
Advantages: Allows for partial implementation; easier to manage risk; accommodates
changing requirements.
Disadvantages: Requires good planning and design; may lead to integration issues.

Iterative Model:
Description: Involves building a prototype and refining it through multiple iterations based
on feedback.
Advantages: Flexibility to adapt to changes; focuses on customer feedback.
Disadvantages: Can lead to scope creep if not managed well; may require more resources.

Spiral model:
Description: Combines iterative development with the systematic aspects of the Waterfall
model. It emphasizes risk assessment and minimizes risks through iterative cycles (spirals).
Phases: Planning, Risk Analysis, Engineering, Evaluation.
Advantages: Focus on risk management; allows for incremental releases.
Disadvantages: Can be complex; requires extensive documentation and expertise.

Agile model:
Description: An iterative and incremental approach that emphasizes collaboration, customer
feedback, and flexibility. Agile frameworks (e.g., Scrum, Kanban) are commonly used.
Advantages: Highly adaptable; promotes continuous delivery and improvement; fosters
strong team collaboration.
Disadvantages: Requires cultural change in organizations; less emphasis on documentation.

Devops model:
Description: Integrates development and operations teams to improve collaboration,
efficiency, and deployment frequency.
Advantages: Continuous integration and delivery; faster time to market; improved
collaboration.
Disadvantages: Requires cultural shifts and investment in tools; can be challenging to
implement.

WATERFALL MODEL :

Winston Royce introduced the Waterfall Model in 1970.This model has five phases:
Requirements analysis and specification, design, implementation, and unit testing, integration
and system testing, and operation and maintenance. The steps always follow in this order and
do not overlap. The developer must complete every phase before the next phase begins. This
model is named "Waterfall Model", because its diagrammatic representation resembles a
cascade of waterfalls.
1. Requirements analysis and specification phase: The aim of this phase is to understand
the exact requirements of the customer and to document them properly. Both the customer
and the software developer work together so as to document all the functions, performance,
and interfacing requirement of the software. It describes the "what" of the system to be
produced and not "how."In this phase, a large document called Software Requirement
Specification (SRS) document is created which contained a detailed description of what the system
will do in the common language.

2. Design Phase: This phase aims to transform the requirements gathered in the SRS into a
suitable form which permits further coding in a programming language. It defines the overall
software architecture together with high level and detailed design. All this work is
documented as a Software Design Document (SDD).
3. Implementation and unit testing: During this phase, design is implemented. If the SDD
is complete, the implementation or coding phase proceeds smoothly, because all the
information needed by software developers is contained in the SDD. During testing, the code
is thoroughly examined and modified. Small modules are tested in isolation initially. After
that these modules are tested by writing some overhead code to check the interaction between
these modules and the flow of intermediate output.
4. Integration and System Testing: This phase is highly crucial as the quality of the end
product is determined by the effectiveness of the testing carried out. The better output will
lead to satisfied customers, lower maintenance costs, and accurate results. Unit testing
determines the efficiency of individual modules. However, in this phase, the modules are
tested for their interactions with each other and with the system.
5. Operation and maintenance phase: Maintenance is the task performed by every user
once the software has been delivered to the customer, installed, and operational.
Advantages of Waterfall model
 This model is simple to implement also the number of resources that are required for it is
minimal.
 The requirements are simple and explicitly declared; they remain unchanged during the
entire project development.
 The start and end points for each phase is fixed, which makes it easy to cover progress.
 The release date for the complete product, as well as its final cost, can be determined
before development.
 It gives easy to control and clarity for the customer due to a strict reporting system.
Disadvantages of Waterfall model
 In this model, the risk factor is higher, so this model is not suitable for more
significant and complex projects.
 This model cannot accept the changes in requirements during development.
 It becomes tough to go back to the phase. For example, if the application has now
shifted to the coding phase, and there is a change in requirement, It becomes tough to
go back and change it.
 Since the testing done at a later stage, it does not allow identifying the challenges and
risks in theearlier phase, so the risk reduction strategy is difficult to prepare.
 Introduction
The DevOps is the combination of two words, one is Development and other is Operations.
It is a culture to promote the development and operation process collectively. The DevOps
tutorial will help you to learn DevOps basics and provide depth knowledge of various
DevOps tools such as Git, Ansible, Docker, Puppet, Jenkins, Chef, Nagios and
Kubernetes.
What is DevOps?

Why DevOps?
Before going further, we need to understand why we need the DevOps over the other
methods.
• The operation and development team worked in complete isolation.
• After the design-build, the testing and deployment are performed respectively. That's
why
• they consumed more time than actual build cycles.
• Without the use of DevOps, the team members are spending a large amount of time on
• designing, testing, and deploying instead of building the project.
• Manual code deployment leads to human errors in production.
• Coding and operation teams have their separate timelines and are not in synch,
causing
• further delays.
DevOps History
• In 2009, the first conference named DevOpsdays was held in Ghent Belgium. Belgian
 consultant and Patrick Debois founded the conference.
• In 2012, the state of DevOps report was launched and conceived by Alanna Brown at
• Puppet.
• In 2014, the annual State of DevOps report was published by Nicole Forsgren, Jez
• Humble, Gene Kim, and others. They found DevOps adoption was accelerating in
2014 also.
• In 2015, Nicole Forsgren, Gene Kim, and Jez Humble founded DORA (DevOps
Research and Assignment).
• In 2017, Nicole Forsgren, Gene Kim, and Jez Humble published "Accelerate:
Building
• and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations".

Agile development
An agile methodology is an iterative and incremental approach to software development.
Each iteration of agile methodology takes a short time interval of 1 to 4 weeks. The agile
development process is aligned to deliver the changing business requirement. It distributes
the software with faster and fewer changes.
The single-phase software development takes 6 to 18 months. In single-phase development,
all the requirement gathering and risks management factors are predicted initially.
The agile software development process frequently takes the feedback of workable product.
The workable product is delivered within 1 to 4 weeks of iteration.
What is the Agile Methodology?
Agile methodologies are iterative and incremental, which means it’s known for breaking a
project into smaller parts and adjusting to changing requirements.
1. They prioritize flexibility, collaboration, and customer satisfaction.
2. Major companies like Facebook, Google, and Amazon use Agile because of its
adaptability and customer-focused approach.
Life cycle of Agile Methodology
1. Requirement Gathering
 In this stage, the project team identifies and documents the needs and expectations of
various stakeholders, including clients, users, and subject matter experts.
 It involves defining the project’s scope, objectives, and requirements.
 Establishing a budget and schedule.
 Creating a project plan and allocating resources.
2. Design
 Developing a high-level system architecture.
 Creating detailed specifications, which include data structures, algorithms, and
interfaces.
 Planning for the software’s user interface.
3. Development (Coding)
Writing the actual code for the software. Conducting unit testing to verify the functionality of
individual components.
4. Testing
This phase involves several types of testing:
1. Integration Testing: Ensuring that different components work together.
2. System Testing: Testing the entire system as a whole.
3. User Acceptance Testing: Confirming that the software meets user requirements.
4. Performance Testing: Assessing the system’s speed, scalability, and stability.
5. Deployment
1. Deploying the software to a production environment.
 2. Put the software into the real world where people can use it.
3. Make sure it works smoothly in the real world.
4. Providing training and support for end-users.
6. Review (Maintenance)
1. Addressing and resolving any issues that may arise after deployment.
2. Releasing updates and patches to enhance the software and address problems.

History of Agile
In 1957, people started figuring out new ways to build computer programs. They wanted to
make the process better over time, so they came up with iterative and incremental methods.
In the 1970s, people started using adaptive software development and evolutionary project
management. This means they were adjusting and evolving how they built software.
In 1990s, there was a big change. Some people didn’t like the strict and super-planned ways
of doing things in software development. They called these old ways “waterfall.” So, in
response, lighter and more flexible methods showed up. These included:
 Rapid Application Development (RAD) in 1991.
 Unified Process (UP), Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) in 1994.
 Scrum in 1995.
 Crystal Clear and Extreme Programming (XP) in 1996.
 Feature-Driven Development (FDD) in 1997.
Agile is the process that follows concept of agile manifestation held in in Feb 2001
Agile manifesto contains 12 principles of agile software development.
Understanding the 12 Agile principles
The 12 Agile principles guide teams on how to work more flexibly and respond quickly to
changes, which is key in project management. Here’s a quick overview of the 12 Agile
principles:
1. Make customers happy through early and continuous delivery of useful software.
2. Embrace changing requirements, even in later stages.
3. Deliver work frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a
preference for the shorter timescale.
4. Stakeholders and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
5. Build projects around motivated individuals, giving them the environment and
support they need, and trusting them to get the job done.
 6. Face-to-face conversations are the most effective method of communication.
7. The main measure of progress is working software.
8. The working pace should be constant yet sustainable.
9. Pay continuous attention to technical excellence and good design.
10. Keep things as simple as possible.
11. The best results come from self-organizing teams.
12. The team reflects on how to become more effective at regular intervals, adjusting
behaviour accordingly.
Advantages
1) Customer satisfactions
2) Customers, developers, tester constantly interact with each other
3) Working software is delivered frequently
4) Face to face conversion is the best from of communication
5) Even late changes in requirement are welcomed
6) Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design.
Disadvantages
1) Lack of documentation
2) Lack of planning and project management software
3) Team must be knowledgeable
4) Project can easily take off track is costumer is not satisfied.

Methodologies that are used to implement Agile

1) Extreme programming (XP)
2) Feature driven deleopment(FDD)
3) Kanban
4) Scrum

Agile Scrum methodology:

Agile is the process model whereas the Scrum is the kind of frame work through which we
develop, test, release software.
Agile define principle i.e, how process must be and scrum is a frame work that follows agile
principles.

SCRUM is a framework within the Agile methodology that focuses on iterative

development, collaboration, and flexibility. It is designed to improve the efficiency and
effectiveness of project management, particularly in software development.
Scrum is the frame work though which we build software product by following agile
principles.
It’s designed to help teams work together more effectively and deliver value incrementally.
Scrum promotes a collaborative, flexible approach to project management, encouraging
teams to deliver high-quality results while continuously improving their processes.
Core Components:
Scrum team: A typical team has between five and nine people, but projects can easily scale
into the hundreds, or just be one-or two-person teams. Everyone on the project works
together to complete the set of work they have collectively committed to complete within a
sprint.
Teams develop a deep form of camaraderie and a feeling that “we’re all in this together.”
1. Roles:
- Product Owner : Represents the stakeholders and is responsible for maximizing the value
of the product. They manage the Product Backlog, ensuring it is prioritized and clear.
- Scrum Master: Acts as a facilitator and coach for the Scrum Team. They help remove
impediments, ensure that Scrum practices are followed, and support the team in improving
their processes.
- Development Team: A cross-functional group responsible for delivering potentially
shippable product increments. They are self-organizing and work collaboratively to meet
their goals.

2. Artifacts:
- Product backlog: The product backlog is a prioritized features list containing every
desired feature or change to the product. Note: The term “backlog” can get confusing because
it’s used for two different things. To clarify, the product backlog is a list of desired features
for the product.
-The sprint backlog is a list of tasks to be completed in a sprint.

3. Events:
- Sprint: A time-boxed period, usually lasting 2-4 weeks, during which the Scrum Team
works to create a usable product increment. Sprints are of consistent length throughout the
project.
-Sprint Planning:
At the start of each sprint, a sprint planning meeting is held, during which the product owner
presents the top items on the product backlog to the team.
The team selects the work they can complete during the coming sprint.
That work is then moved from the product backlog to a sprint backlog, which is the list of
tasks needed to complete the product backlog items the team has committed to complete in
the sprint.
- Daily Scrum: Each day during the sprint, a brief meeting called the daily scrum is
conducted. This meeting helps set the context for each day’s work and helps the team stay on
track. All team members are required to attend the daily scrum.
- Sprint review meeting: At the end of each sprint, the team demonstrates the completed
functionality at a sprint review meeting, during which, the team shows what they
accomplished during the sprint.
- Sprint retrospective: Also at the end of each sprint, the team conducts a sprint
retrospective, which is a meeting during which the team reflects on how well their process is
working for them and what changes they may wish to make for it to work even better.
Key Principles:
- Transparency: All aspects of the process must be visible to those responsible for the
outcome. This includes the Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, and progress toward goals.
- Inspection: Regularly review artifacts and progress to identify any deviations from the plan
and make adjustments as needed.
-Adaptation: Make adjustments to processes and practices based on feedback and
inspections to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

Scrum Framework workflow:

 The product owner creates a product backlog (essentially, a wishlist of tasks that
need to be prioritized in a project).
  The Scrum team conducts a sprint planning session where the tasks necessary to
complete items on the wishlist is broken down into small, more easily manageable
chunks.
 The team creates a sprint backlog and plans its implementation.
 The team decides a time duration for every sprint (the most common intervals is
probably two weeks).
 The team gets together every day for a brief Scrum meeting (often referred to as a
Daily Standup) where each member of the team shares daily updates, helping the team
and the project manager assess the progress of the project.
 The certified Scrum Master guides the team and keeps them focused and motivated.
 The stakeholders and the product owner conduct a review at the end of each sprint.
This is the cycle followed by a Scrum team in a product development project. The three roles
mentioned above - the Product Owner, the Scrum Team, and the ScrumMaster together play a
major role in exercising this framework.
ADVANTAGES OF SCRUM :
• Scrum can help teams complete project deliverables quickly and efficiently.
• Scrum ensures effective use of time and money.
• Large projects are divided into easily manageable sprints.
• Works well for fast-moving development projects.
• The team gets clear visibility through scrum meetings.
• Scrum, being agile, adopts feedback from customers and stakeholders.
• Short sprints enable changes based on feedback a lot more easily.
• The individual effort of each team member is visible during daily scrum meetings.
DISADVACTAGES OF SCRUM :
 Scrum often leads to scope creep, due to the lack of a definite end-date.
 The chances of project failure are high if individuals aren't very committed or
cooperative.
 Adopting the Scrum framework in large teams is challenging.
 The framework can be successful only with experienced team members.
 Daily meetings sometimes frustrate team members.
 If any team member leaves in the middle of a project, it can have a huge negative
impact on the project.
 Quality is hard to implement until the team goes through an aggressive testing
process.
KANBAN :
Kanban is a popular framework which is used to implement agile and devops software
development.
Kanban methodology is an agile method that aims at continuous improvement, flexibility
`in task management, and enhanced workflow.
Kanban is one of the simplest frameworks used as it allows project managers to efficiently
manage and keep track of their projects. A distinguishing feature of the Kanban framework
among different agile methodologies is its compatibility with the existing organizational
setting.
Kanban Framework focuses on visualizing the entire project on boards in order to increase
project transparency and collaboration between team members.
The work items are represented in a kanban board visually, allowing team members to see the
state of every piece of work at any time.
KANBAN BOARD:
The kanban board is the agile project management tool that designed the necessary visualized
work, limited work-in-progress, and maximizes flow (or efficiency).
It is a tool that visualizes the entire project to track the flow of their project.
It uses cards, columns, and provides continuous improvement to help technology and service
teams who commit the right amount of work and get it done.
Through this graphical approach of Kanban boards, a new member or an external entity can
understand what’s happening right now, tasks completed and future tasks.
Kanban board indicates
 TO DO -- the current tasks that are being performed.
 DOING -- the tasks to do in the future.
 DONE -- the tasks that are completed.
A crucial topic in software engineering! Here are detailed and precise notes on Release
Management:
