Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a Process used by the software industry to design,
develop and test high quality softwares. The SDLC aims to produce High quality software that
meets or exceeds customer expectation, reaches completion within times and cost estimates.
2.SDLC phrases/Stage.
Stage 1: Planning and Requirement Analysis Requirement analysis is the most important and
fundamental stage in SDLC. It is performed by the senior member of the team with inputs from
the customer, The Sales department, market survey and Domain experts in the Industry. This
information is then used to plan the basic project approach and to conduct product feasibility
study in the economical, operational and technical areas.
Stage 2: Defining requirement analysis is done the next step is to clearly define and document
the product requirements and get them approved from the customer or the market analysts.
This is done through an SRS (Software Requirement Specificantion)document which consists of
all the product requirement to be designed and developed during the project life cycle.
Stage 3:Designing the Product Architecture SRS is the reference for product architects to come
out with the best architecture for the product to be developed. Based on the requirement
specified in SRS,usually more than one design approach for the product architecture is
proposed and documented in a DDS-Design Document Specification.
Stage 4:Building or Developing the product in this stage of SDLC the actual development starts
and the product is built. The programming code is generated as per DDS during this stage. If the
design is performed in a detailed and organized manner, code generation can be accomplished
without much hassle.
Stage 5: Testing the product in this stage is usually a subset of all the stages as in the modern
SDLC models, the testing activities are mostly involved in all the stages of SDLC. However, This
stage refers to the testing only stage of the product where product defects are reported,
tracked fixed and retested, until the product reaches the quality standards defined in the SRS.
Stage 6: Deployment in the Market and Maintenance. Once the product is tested and ready to
be deployed it is released formally in the appropriate market. Sometimes product deployment
happens in stages as per the business strategy of the organization. The product may first be
released in a limited segment and tested in the real business environment(UAT-User
acceptance testing).
