3 Experiment and test

After you have narrowed down your options, you need to experiment and test them in a controlled and realistic environment. You can use various methods, such as prototyping, proof of concept, pilot project, sandbox, or beta testing. You need to measure and evaluate the outcomes and impacts of each option on your SDLC. You need to consider aspects such as functionality, usability, reliability, scalability, security, and compatibility. You also need to collect feedback from your team, users, and stakeholders and see how they respond to the new technologies and trends.
