Six steps of SDLC that make your software perfect.

The software development life cycle (SDLC) is the process that makes the ability for the software developers to create and deploy a new system, website, or application two to three times a year. It is probably the best framework for today to make quality software with an ideal price-performance - time consumption ratio. The structural approach typically divides it into six steps. There are Agile, Lean, and DevOps approaches. Despite their differences, they are all based on different business landscapes' demands and ultimately aim to help teams create high-quality software quickly and economically. But we are slightly distracted. Here are the six steps of the SDLC that are more or less inherent in each approach.

Receiving information from project sponsors, clients, and users, senior team members investigate and answer the question of what the problem is. In this stage, they clarify the issue and find out the existing system to modify or create a new one.

Then the team is starting to analyze a problem to get the answer to what the user needs. By studying in detail the client's input data, data sources, processes, and threads, the team is convinced of the target decision and its value to the user.

In this step, the analysts and designers' collaborative efforts aim to answer the question, how do we get what the user needs. The design document must have detailed specifications, features, operations, and output. Here the right time to choose exemplary programming architecture and language. Then all stakeholders must review and approve the final document onshore.

So, the coding begins: the development team builds the solution all stakeholders need. Ideally, the team should adhere to best practices and code style. They should thoroughly follow the project documentation to be sure they are working on the same solution blueprint.

Even though most development methods include testing as a subset of every stage, there is a dedicated testing stage before deployment. It's aimed to test, tracked, and fixed various possible errors that can be founded in the system run itself or some of its modules. Here is essential to make sure that the assembled system is functioning normally; all its modules interact with each other correctly. The testing process can be both automatic or manual. The top guy here is a QA manager who can guarantee that this solution works correctly and fully corresponds to the project requirements.

Finally, we have the tested, fixed, tracked, tested again, clear and polished product ready to install and implement into the business process. It is the last stage of the SDLC includes deployment, installation, and implementation. With awe and firm confidence, the team provides all these substeps and monitors them for some time to observe product performance. If the product functionality fully corresponds to the features approved in the project document, the SDLC life cycle is considered finalized, and the project is fully completed. It can look like primitive and shared knowledge, but we know many fantastic projects buried precisely because of a lack of structure approach. Let us wish you good luck, and don't even think about to jump over even one SDLC stages. Keep going step by step, and you will be successful very soon.
