Are you developing an application or a software? Then you must know SDLC and its phases

                  
1.Planning: 1st and important phase of SDLC for the success of software. This phase includes communication between project stakeholders, end users and project team, as requirements (both Functional & non functional) are being gathered from clients. Without the perfect plan, calculating the strengths and weaknesses of the project, development of software is meaningless. Planning kicks off a project flawlessly and affects its progress positively.

2.Analysis: This step is about analyzing the performance of the software at various stages and making notes on additional requirements. Analysis is very important to proceed further to the next step.

3.Design: Once the analysis is complete, the step of designing takes over, which is basically building the architecture of the project. This step helps remove possible flaws by setting a standard and attempting to stick to it.

4.Development & Implementation: The actual task of developing the software starts here with data recording going on in the background. Once the software is developed, the stage of implementation comes in where the product goes through a pilot study to see if it’s functioning properly.

5.Testing: The testing stage assesses the software for errors and documents bugs if there are any.

6.Deployment and Maintenance: Once the software passes through all the stages without any issues, it is to undergo a maintenance process wherein it will be maintained and upgraded from time to time to adapt to changes. Almost every software development Indian company follows all the six steps, leading to the reputation that the country enjoys in the software market today.

To summarize the whole concept, Software Development Life Cycle is important for everyone to know from the developer to the project manager. There are different SDLC models depending on the requirement and purpose of the software/ application to be created. The common thing in all these models is the phases, namely planning, analysis, design, development, testing, deployment and maintenance.
