Programming SDLC Introduction

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a framework outlining the stages of a software development project, including Preliminary Investigation, Feasibility Study, System Analysis, System Design, System Coding and Testing, System Implementation, and System Maintenance. Each phase involves specific tasks and results, such as defining system requirements, designing solutions, and testing the final product. The document details the processes and tools used at each stage to ensure successful software development and maintenance.

Phase-I
Preliminary Investigation
Phase-I Preliminary
Tasks
 What is the problem
 Determine if a new system is needed
 Whether an alternative system will
solve the problem
Results
 Needfor improving the existing
system is recognized
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.
Phase-3
System Analysis
Tasks
 Detailedstudy of various operations performed by
the system
 Studying the existing organizational history,
structure, and culture
 Define boundaries of the candidate
system/software.
 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
Phase-4
System Design

 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
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
Phase-6
System Implementation

 Convert 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
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)
