Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

A process used to design, develop, and test high-quality software applications.

I divide my software applications development into the following 7 parts, respectively:

Planning

Define the problem and scope of any existing systems, as well as determine the objectives for their new systems.

Analysis

Define requirements for software, hardware, and network. Develop a software requirement specification document to describe what the web application will do and how it will be expected to perform.

Design

Define user interfaces, system interfaces, network and network requirements, databases, and layout design. Typically turns the software requirement specification document into a more logical structure to be implemented in a programming language.

Development

Write code and build the application according to the earlier design documents and outlined specifications.

Testing

Test the built software to make sure there aren't any bugs and that the user experience will not negatively be affected at any point.

Implementation

Integrate modules and designs into the primary source code to detect further errors or defects. Publish the software so it is ready and may be provided to any end-users.

Maintenance

Define any changes needed after deployment and handle residual bugs that were not able to be patched before launch or resolve new issues that pop up due to user reports. Define who is responsible for content updates and monitoring the software.
