Software Development Life Cycle

(SDLC)
• SDLC is a process used by software
development teams to design, develop, and
deploy high-quality software systems. It
encompasses several phases, each with
specific goals and deliverables.
 **Phases of SDLC:**

• - Requirements gathering and analysis: Understanding

user needs and defining system requirements.
• - System design: Architectural design, database design,
and interface design.
• - Implementation: Coding, unit testing, and integration
testing.
• - Deployment: Installing and configuring the software
in the production environment.
• - Maintenance: Monitoring, updating, and improving
the software over its lifecycle.
 **Best Practices:**
• Agile vs. Waterfall methodologies, version
control (e.g., Git), and continuous
integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD)
pipelines.
