Lecture on SDLC

The document outlines the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC), which is a framework detailing the stages of a software development project. It includes phases such as Preliminary Tasks, Feasibility Study, System Analysis, System Design, System Coding and Testing, System Implementation, and System Maintenance, each with specific tasks and results. The SDLC emphasizes the importance of evaluating alternatives, defining system requirements, and ensuring ongoing maintenance post-implementation.

Development Life
Cycle
)
What is SDLC

A Framework
 That describes the activities performed
 At each stage of
A software development project
Phase-I
Preliminary
Tasks
What is the problem
Determine if a new system is needed
Whether an alternative system will solve
the problem
Results
Need for improving the existing system is
recognised
Possible

Impossible

Phase-II
Feasibility Study
Phase-II
Feasibility Study
Tasks
Evaluate alternatives based upon
Economic Feasibility-Do benefits justify costs-Net Present Value
Technical Feasibility-Is reliable technology and training available
Operational Feasibility-Will the management and users support it
Value anlaysis
Phase-3
System Analysis
Tasks
Detailed study of various operations
performed by the system
Studying the existing organisational
history, structure, and culture
Define boundaries of the candidate
system
Data collection or data gathering
Phase-3
System Analysis

Tools
Data flow diagrams
Interviews
Onsite observations
Questionnaires
Data dictionaries
Phase-3
System Analysis
 Results
 SRS (Software Requirement Specification)
document is finalised which includes:
 Functional and non-functional requirements
 What the system will do and what it is not
expected to do
 Information about other systems with which
system must interface
Phase-4
System Design
 Most creative and challenging phase
 Translates the performance requirements into design
specifications
Tasks
 How should the problem be solved
 Organisational and job designs prepared
 Information processing systems design
 Design of the database
 Design of the user interface
 Physical design
 Input data and master files are designed
 Output formats are designed
Phase-4
System Design
Results
Detailed System Document
Procedural flowcharts
Record layouts
Report layouts
Workable plan for implementing candidate
system
Phase-5
System Coding and Testing
 Build the system to the design specifications
 Develop the software
 Acquire the hardware
 Test the system for acceptance
 Program Testing (Unit testing)
 System Testing
 User Acceptance Testing
 Quality Assurance Testing
Phase-6
System Implementation
 Covert from old system to new system
 Compile final documentation
 Evaluate the new system
Phase-6
System Implementation
 Types of Conversion
 Direct/plunge/crash approach-entire new
system completely replaces entire old system,
in one step
 Parallel approach-both systems are operated
side by side until the new system proves itself
 Pilot approach-launched new system for only
one group within the business
 Phased/incremental approach-individual parts
of new system are gradually phased-in over
time
Phase-7
System Maintenance

 Keeping everything running


Phase-7
System Maintenance
 Types of Maintenance
 Correction of new bugs found (corrective)
 System adjustments to environmental
changes and users’ changing needs
(adaptive)
 Enhancing the performance, changes to use
better techniques when they become
available (perfective)
