    Study Notes

    System Life Cycle

    • A conceptual model in project management (PM) detailing stages in information system (IS) development, from feasibility study to application maintenance.
    • Consists of seven phases (PADDTIM).

    Planning/Initiation

    • Foundation for the entire SDLC.
    • Clearly defines project goals and assesses problem-solving using software solutions.
    • Includes problem identification, resource cost estimation, requirement gathering, and expectation setting to establish project objectives.

    Analysis/Feasibility

    • Determines project feasibility (technical, operational, economic)
    • Translates high-level plans into actionable goals, bridging the gap between project conception and development.
    • Includes analyzing system requirements and assessing project feasibility, gathering information through market research, and evaluating prototypes.

    Design

    • Focuses on visualizing the system's purpose, features, and functionalities.
    • Systems architect designs the system and creates initial software prototypes showcasing system functionality.

    Development

    • The coding phase where teams write the actual code.
    • Involves writing code, debugging, and identifying errors within the project requirements.

    Testing

    • A crucial stage to ensure the application meets specified requirements and functions correctly.
    • Includes bug detection, vulnerability testing, defect and error identification.
    • Types include: unit, integration, system, and acceptance testing.

    Implementation

    • System deployment after user acceptance and testing.
    • The system support planned business operations
    • Objectives include successfully deploying the newly developed system and delivering a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly system.

    Maintenance

    • Ongoing activities to ensure continuous system functionality.
    • Developers address issues, implementing updates and enhancements, and provide user support to improve the system.
