Lesson 2 - Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

It is a process followed for a software project, within a software organization. The life cycle defines a methodology for improving the quality of software and the overall development process.

• Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

• Hardware Development Life Cycle (HDLC)

• System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

SDLC or the Software Development Life Cycle is a process that produces software with the highest quality and lowest cost in the shortest time possible.

• True

• False

____________ is an international standard for software life-cycle processes.

It aims to be the standard that defines all the tasks required for developing and maintaining software.

• ISO/IEC 12207

• ISO/IEC 12208

• ISO/IEC 12209

• ISO/IEC 12210

What are the Seven Phases of the SDLC?

1. Planning

2. Define Requirements

• Design & Prototyping

• Software Development

• Testing

• Deployment

• Operations & Maintenance

Project leaders evaluate the terms of the project.

Includes feedback from stakeholders.

It should clearly define the scope and purpose of the application.

• Planning

• Define Requirements
