    Study Notes

    Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

    • SDLC is a time-efficient process used by development teams to design and build high-quality software that meets customer expectations.
    • It minimizes project risks through forward planning and ensures that all stakeholders agree on software development goals and requirements upfront.

    Importance of SDLC

    • SDLC provides a systematic management framework with specific deliverables at every stage of the software development process.
    • It helps manage software development challenges, such as changing requirements, technology upgrades, and cross-functional collaboration.

    Benefits of SDLC

    • Increases visibility of the development process for all stakeholders.
    • Enables efficient estimation, planning, and scheduling.
    • Improves risk management and cost estimation.
    • Ensures systematic software delivery and better customer satisfaction.

    Phases of SDLC

    Planning

    • Includes tasks like cost-benefit analysis, scheduling, resource estimation, and allocation.
    • Development team collects requirements from stakeholders to create a Software Requirement Specification (SRS) document.
    • SRS sets expectations and defines common goals that aid in project planning.
    • Identifies and defines the problem, and researches the scope of the problem.

    Requirement Analysis

    • Information about each element to design, validating installation, calibrating security protocols, and risk analysis.
    • Creates a software requirement specification document.

    Design

    • Software engineers analyze requirements and identify the best solutions to create the software.
    • Considers integrating pre-existing modules, making technology choices, and identifying development tools.
    • Integrates the new software into existing IT infrastructure.
    • Creates a system design following the SRS, and shares it with stakeholders for review.

    Implement

    • Development team codes the product based on the design document.
    • Analyzes requirements to identify smaller coding tasks.
    • Writes code using languages, and implements the software product.

    Deploy

    • Develops software in a separate build environment, different from the production environment.
    • Sets up an installation link for users, and debugs the application on a regular basis.
    • Provides regular updates with new features.
    • Ensures customers can continue to use the software while it is being changed or upgraded.
    • Includes tasks like packaging, environment configuration, and installation to move the latest build copy to the production environment.
