Software development life cycle

1. Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) An Overview

2. Introduction Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a process used by the software industry to design, develop, and test high-quality software.

3. Importance of SDLC • Provides a structured approach • Ensures project success • Reduces risks and costs • Enhances quality and efficiency

4. Phases of SDLC 1. Planning 2. Requirements Analysis 3. Design 4. Development 5. Testing 6. Deployment 7. Maintenance

5. Phase 1: Planning • Define goals • Conduct feasibility study • Estimate resources and time • Set project scope

6. Phase 2: Requirements Analysis • Gather requirements • Document functional and non-functional needs • Analyze and validate requirements

7. Phase 3: Design • Create system design and architecture • Database design • User Interface design • Define technical stack

8. Phase 4: Development • Coding the application • Follow coding standards • Unit testing • Integration of modules

9. Phase 5: Testing • Quality assurance • Find and fix bugs • Verification & Validation • Ensure system meets requirements

10. Phase 6: Deployment • Deploy application to production • User training • Data migration • Rollout strategies

11. Phase 7: Maintenance • Monitor system performance • Fix issues and bugs • Provide updates and enhancements • Ensure system scalability

12. Popular SDLC Models • Waterfall • Agile • Spiral • V-Model

13. Advantages of SDLC • Clear project roadmap • Improves project management • Enhances software quality • Reduces risks and rework

14. Challenges in SDLC • Changing requirements • Budget and time constraints • Communication gaps • Complex integration

15. Conclusion & Summary SDLC ensures successful software delivery by following structured phases, reducing risks, and improving software quality.
