The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a systematic process that guides the development of software applications from initial concept to deployment and maintenance.
It encompasses several phases, including requirement analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
Implementing SDLC offers benefits such as improved project management, enhanced quality assurance, risk mitigation, cost efficiency, better communication, and regulatory compliance.
To implement SDLC effectively, it is essential to engage stakeholders, choose the appropriate model (such as Waterfall, Agile, or Spiral), maintain comprehensive documentation, incorporate testing throughout, and have a post-deployment support plan.
