A Software Project is the complete procedure of software development from requirement gathering to testing and maintenance, carried out according to the execution methodologies, in a specified period of time to achieve the intended software product.
The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) refers to a methodology with clearly defined processes for creating high-quality software. in detail, the SDLC methodology focuses on the following phases of software development: Requirement analysis. Planning. Software design such as architectural design
SDLC is a systematic process for building software that ensures the quality and correctness of the software built. SDLC process aims to produce high-quality software that meets customer expectations. The system development should be complete in the pre-defined time frame and cost. SDLC consists of a detailed plan which explains how to plan, build, and maintain specific software.
Every phase of the SDLC life Cycle has its own process and deliverables that feed into the next phase. SDLC stands for Software Development Life Cycle and is also referred to as the Application Development life-cycle
Why SDLC?
Here, are prime reasons why SDLC is important for developing a software system.
It offers a basis for project planning, scheduling, and estimating
Provides a framework for a standard set of activities and deliverables
It is a mechanism for project tracking and control
Increases visibility of project planning to all involved stakeholders of the development process
Increased and enhance development speed
Improved client relations
Helps you to decrease project risk and project management plan overhead
SDLC Phases
The entire SDLC process is divided into the following SDLC steps:
Phase 1: Requirement collection and analysis
Phase 2: A feasibility study
Phase 3: Design
Phase 4: Coding
Phase 5: Testing
Phase 6: Installation/Deployment
Phase 7: Maintenance
