Phase of SDLC

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a structured process that outlines the stages involved in software development, from inception to retirement. It includes phases such as requirement analysis, feasibility study, design, coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance, each serving a specific purpose to ensure high-quality software delivery. SDLC is essential for project planning, tracking, and enhancing client relations while minimizing risks and improving development speed.

Software Development Life Cycle

What is SDLC?
SDLC is a process that defines the various stages involved in the development of software for
delivering a high-quality product. SDLC stages cover the complete life cycle of a software i.e. from
inception to retirement of the product. SDLC stands for Software Development Life Cycle and is also
referred to as the Application Development life-cycle

Why SDLC?
Here, are prime reasons why SDLC is important for developing a software system.

 It offers a basis for project planning, scheduling, and estimating


 Provides a framework for a standard set of activities and deliverables
 It is a mechanism for project tracking and control
 Increases visibility of project planning to all involved stakeholders of the development process
 Increased and enhance development speed
 Improved client relations
 Helps you to decrease project risk and project management plan overhead

SDLC Phases
The entire SDLC process divided into the following SDLC steps:

SDLC Phases

 Phase 1: Requirement collection and analysis


 Phase 2: Feasibility study
 Phase 3: Design
 Phase 4: Coding
 Phase 5: Testing
 Phase 6: Installation/Deployment
 Phase 7: Maintenance

Phase 1: Requirement collection and analysis


The requirement analysis is the first stage in the SDLC process. It is conducted by the senior team
members with inputs from all the stakeholders and domain experts in the industry. Planning for
the quality assurance requirements and recognition of the risks involved is also done at this stage.

This stage gives a clearer picture of the scope of the entire project and the anticipated issues,
opportunities, and directives which triggered the project.

Requirements Gathering stage need teams to get detailed and precise requirements. This helps
companies to finalize the necessary timeline to finish the work of that system.

Phase 2: Feasibility study
Once the requirement analysis phase is completed the next SDLC step is to define and document
software needs. This process conducted with the help of ‘Software Requirement Specification’
document also known as ‘SRS’ document. It includes everything which should be designed and
developed during the project life cycle.

There are mainly five types of feasibilities checks:

 Economic: Can we complete the project within the budget or not?


 Legal: Can we handle this project as cyber law and other regulatory framework/compliances.
 Operation feasibility: Can we create operations which is expected by the client?
 Technical: Need to check whether the current computer system can support the software
 Schedule: Decide that the project can be completed within the given schedule or not.

Phase 3: Design
In this third phase, the system and software design documents are prepared as per the requirement
specification document. This helps define overall system architecture.

This design phase serves as input for the next phase of the model.

There are two kinds of design documents developed in this phase:

High-Level Design (HLD)

 Brief description and name of each module


 An outline about the functionality of every module
 Interface relationship and dependencies between modules
 Database tables identified along with their key elements
 Complete architecture diagrams along with technology details

Low-Level Design(LLD)

 Functional logic of the modules


 Database tables, which include type and size
 Complete detail of the interface
 Addresses all types of dependency issues
 Listing of error messages
 Complete input and outputs for every module

Phase 4: Coding
Once the system design phase is over, the next phase is coding. In this phase, developers start build
the entire system by writing code using the chosen programming language. In the coding phase, tasks
are divided into units or modules and assigned to the various developers. It is the longest phase of the
Software Development Life Cycle process.

In this phase, Developer needs to follow certain predefined coding guidelines. They also need to use
programming tools like compiler, interpreters, debugger to generate and implement the code.

Phase 5: Testing
Once the software is complete, and it is deployed in the testing environment. The testing team starts
testing the functionality of the entire system. This is done to verify that the entire application works
according to the customer requirement.

During this phase, QA and testing team may find some bugs/defects which they communicate to
developers. The development team fixes the bug and send back to QA for a re-test. This process
continues until the software is bug-free, stable, and working according to the business needs of that
system.

Phase 6: Installation/Deployment
Once the software testing phase is over and no bugs or errors left in the system then the final
deployment process starts. Based on the feedback given by the project manager, the final software is
released and checked for deployment issues if any.

Phase 7: Maintenance
Once the system is deployed, and customers start using the developed system, following 3 activities
occur

 Bug fixing – bugs are reported because of some scenarios which are not tested at all
 Upgrade – Upgrading the application to the newer versions of the Software
 Enhancement – Adding some new features into the existing software

The main focus of this SDLC phase is to ensure that needs continue to be met and that the system
continues to perform as per the specification mentioned in the first phase.
