SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE

(SDLC)
 The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is a project
management method that breaks down complex projects into
smaller, more manageable phases. This approach allows project
managers to check the completion of each phase before moving
on to the next. Software development projects typically go
through phases such as initiation, planning, design, development,
testing, implementation, and maintenance. However, the phases
can vary depending on the organization. For example, some may
divide the project into request, requirements-definition, and
planning phases, or initiation, concept development, and planning
phases. It's important for end users to review each phase’s output
to ensure the system meets the required functionality.

 Personal reflections

My name is MONISH VERMA, a student of Class 12 A, and I am

excited to share my journey of developing this project. This
experience has been a remarkable learning opportunity, filled
with challenges, discoveries, and personal growth. Each step of
the process taught me something new and allowed me to apply
the knowledge I gained in practical and meaningful ways.

From the very beginning, I took full responsibility for writing the
entire code for the project. Developing its features required
careful planning, creativity, and strong problem-solving skills. I
focused on making each part of the program functional and user-
friendly, ensuring that it met its intended purpose effectively and
efficiently.

One of the most challenging yet rewarding parts of the project

was debugging the code. There were times when errors felt
overwhelming, but I learned to address them systematically. By
exploring every detail, running multiple test cases, and finding
creative solutions, I ensured the program worked seamlessly. This
process not only refined the code but also enhanced my analytical
thinking and perseverance.

For the database component, I took on the task of finding a

reliable hosting provider for MySQL. Researching hosting options,
setting up the database, and integrating it with my code were
critical parts of the project. This taught me important lessons
about database management, secure connections, and selecting
scalable solutions. Successfully connecting the database with the
project was a significant milestone, giving me a sense of pride
and accomplishment.
