This document discusses the software development life cycle (SDLC) and prototyping. It defines SDLC as the process of developing software and outlines its common phases. Prototyping is introduced as a way to test concepts or processes by building early samples. The benefits of SDLC like documentation, defined stages, and milestones are contrasted with disadvantages such as difficulty adjusting scope. Advantages and disadvantages of prototyping are also presented.

Contents Introduction SDLC Phases Need of SDLC Advantages and disadvantages of SDLC SDLC model Prototyping Qualities of Prototype Need of prototype model Advantages and disadvantages of protoype model. SDLC The software development life cycle (SDLC) or system development life cycle in system engineering, information systems and software engineering, is the entire process / framework of formal, logical steps taken to develop a software product.
SDLC aims to produce the quality software that meets or
exceeds customer expectations, reaches completion within the time and budget SDLC Phases Need of SDLC It is important to have an SDLC in place as it helps to transform the idea of a project into a functional and completely operational structure. It is a mechanism for project tracking and control. SDLC helps with process development, change management, user experience, and policies. It helps a client to lower development costs and at the same time get all the required functionality as fast as possible. A plan based on the SDLC principles removes all common pitfalls and eliminates excessive work in the development projects. Advantages & Disadvantages of SDLC
Advantages Disadvantages
Process and results are well No continous customer
documented. involvement to review the output Stages and activities are well Adjusting scope is difficult and defined expensive Milestones are well understood Model doesn’t provide a clear path for problems found testing phases Each phase has specific Costly and required more time deliverables Work well for smaller projects Needs very proper & detailed where requirements are very well planning understood SDLC Models Most common SDLC methodologies:
Waterfall models V-Shaped Model Iterative Model Spiral Model Big Bang Model Agile Model RAD PROTOTYPING Basically, prototype is an early sample, model, or release of a product built to test a concept or process. It is a term used in a variety of contexts, including semantics, design, electronics, and software programming.
The goal of a prototype is to test products (and product
ideas) before sinking lots of time and money into the final product. Qualities of prototype Representation
Precision
Interactivity
Evolution Need of prototype model Reasons why prototyping makes good business sense:
Provides quality assurance
Know the true cost of production Improve the product’s integrity Find efficiencies and savings Modify your tooling Make a more durable product Resolve conflicts Advantages & Disadvantages of prototype
Advantages Disadvantages
Customer satisfaction exists Customer may get confused in the
prototypes and real systems Requirement changes are allowed It is a time consuming if customer ask for changes in prototype This model is flexible in design This model is costly.
It is easy to detect errors. There may be incomplete or
inadequate problem analysis.
It helps developers and users both Customers may not be satisfied or
understand the system better. interested in the product after seeing the initial prototype.
