Software Engineering

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a structured process for developing software, encompassing stages such as requirement analysis, planning, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance. Two common models of SDLC are the Waterfall Model, which is linear and sequential, and the Agile Model, which is iterative and emphasizes flexibility and collaboration. Projects following the Agile Model focus on frequent iterations, stakeholder feedback, cross-functional teams, and adaptability to changing requirements.

About SDLC

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a systematic process for planning, creating, testing,
and deploying software applications. It provides a structured approach to software development,
ensuring high quality and efficient project management. The main stages of SDLC typically
include:

 Requirement Analysis: Gathering and analyzing requirements from stakeholders.


 Planning: Defining the scope, resources, and timeline for the project.
 Design: Creating the architecture and design of the software system.
 Implementation: Writing and integrating the code.
 Testing: Verifying that the software works as intended and meets requirements.
 Deployment: Releasing the software for use in a live environment.
 Maintenance: Providing ongoing support and making necessary updates.

2. SDLC Life Cycle — Waterfall Model, Agile Model

 Waterfall Model:
o A linear and sequential approach where each phase must be completed before
moving to the next.
o Phases: Requirements → Design → Implementa on → Tes ng → Deployment →
Maintenance.
o Advantages: Simple to understand and manage; clear milestones.
o Disadvantages: Inflexible to changes; not suitable for complex projects.
 Agile Model:
o An iterative and incremental approach that emphasizes flexibility and customer
collaboration.
o Work is divided into small, manageable units called iterations or sprints, typically
lasting 1-4 weeks.
o Focuses on delivering small, functional pieces of the software quickly.
o Advantages: Adaptable to changes; encourages stakeholder feedback; promotes
collaboration.
o Disadvantages: Requires constant communication; can lead to scope creep if not
managed well.
3. Your Project Following Which Model (Agile Model)

If your project follows the Agile model, it means you employed an iterative approach to
development, focusing on collaboration and flexibility. Key aspects of Agile in your project may
include:

 Frequent Iterations: Delivering small increments of the product regularly.


 Stakeholder Feedback: Continuously involving stakeholders to refine requirements and
improve the product.
 Cross-Functional Teams: Collaborating with team members from various disciplines
(development, testing, design).
 Adaptability: Being open to changes in requirements, even late in development.

This model helps ensure that the final product better meets user needs and can adapt to changes
in the market or project requirements.
