SDLC

Have you heard something about the term “SDLC”?

When people discuss the software development process, the term "Software Development Life Cycle," or SDLC, is frequently used, but many people have only a hazy understanding of what this process includes. I will be brief and riveting!

Planning, defining requirements, system design and prototyping, development, testing, and deployment are all phases of the SDLC.

Planning?

Project Managers evaluate the project's terms during the Planning phase. This includes calculating labor and material costs, developing a timetable with target goals, forming project teams, and establishing a leadership structure. Stakeholder feedback can also be incorporated into planning.

Requirements

Defining requirements is a step in the planning process that specifies what the application is expected to do and its specifications. This is done by using an SRS (Software Requirement Specification) document, which contains all of the product requirements that must be developed throughout the project life cycle.

Design and Prototyping?

The design phase simulates how a software application will function. Among the design elements are architecture, user interface, platforms, programming (as methods of solving problems), communications, and security.

Software development

The actual development of the product starts at this stage of the SDLC. This is the actual program writing. Many other tasks are involved in the coding process, but to describe this, I should write another post.??

Software testing

It is critically important to test an application before releasing it to users. So, during this stage product defects are reported, tracked, fixed, and retested until the product meets the quality standards defined in the SRS.

Deployment

Once the product has been thoroughly tested and is ready for deployment, it is officially released in the appropriate market. The product may first be released in a limited market segment and tested in a real-world business setting (UAT- User acceptance testing). I have a separate article about UAT.
