Study Notes
Basic Programming: System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
- A system is a set of things or processes linked together by rules to form a unified process.
- A system has boundaries and interacts with the universe beyond these boundaries by passing data across them.
System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
- SDLC is a conceptual model used in project management.
- It describes the stages involved in an information system development project, from initial feasibility study to maintenance of the completed application.
- SDLC provides an overall framework for managing systems development processes.
- It serves to document project phases, including inputs, outputs, and boundaries, by people or organizations.
Life Cycle of Software Development
- The software development life cycle consists of four main phases:
- Analysis
- Design
- Coding-Implementation
- Maintenance
SDLC Detail Phases
- Here is a list of phases with the outcome
- Survey project scope and feasibility results in a feasibility assessment
- Study and analyze the current system leading to a problem statement
- Define the end-user's requirements creating a requirement statement
- Select a feasibility solution resulting in an approved system proposal
- Design the new system producing a design specification
- Acquire computer hardware and software which gives a proposal of configuration
- Construct the new system which is a functioning system
- Deliver the new system is a functioning system
- Maintain and improve the system
SDLC and Problem Solving
- Analysis involves the project team investigating and understanding the problem and solution requirements.
- Design is when the solution is specified in detail.
- Implementation occurs when the system that solves the problem is built and installed.
- Maintenance includes the system being used, maintained, and enhanced to continue providing intended benefits.
SDLC in Software Development Checklist
- The first step is system analysis. This involves survey, study, definition, and selection.
- The second step is system design. This involves acquisition and design.
- The third step is system implementation. This involves construction and delivery.
- The forth step is system support. This involves maintain and improve.
SDLC Examples
- SDLC can be implemented in any real-life situation, not just programming-based applications, such as a house-building project.
SDLC Group Exercise
- Work in a group of 3 and construct a SDLC methodology to solve any problem such as:
- Buy a brand new car
- Automated ticket parking system
- Book rental system for your former secondary school
- Sending e-mail
- etc......
