Understanding Systems Development Life Cycle

What are the main phases of the Systems Development Life Cycle?

• Planning, Analysis, Design, Implementation, Testing, Deployment, Maintenance

• Planning, Analysis, Design, Review

• Concept, Development, Testing, Release

• Research, Implementation, Evaluation, Support

How does the planning phase contribute to the success of a project?

• The planning phase contributes to the success of a project by providing a structured approach that ensures clarity, resource optimization, and risk management.

• Planning is only necessary for large projects.

• The planning phase is irrelevant to project success.

• It focuses solely on team building activities.

What is the purpose of the design phase in the SDLC?

• To create a blueprint for the system based on requirements.

• To test the system for bugs and errors.

• To gather user feedback on the system design.

• To implement the coding standards for the project.

Explain the importance of testing in the Systems Development Life Cycle.

• Testing can be skipped if the team is experienced.

• Testing is primarily for user interface design.

• Testing is only necessary for large projects.

• Testing is essential in the SDLC to ensure quality, identify defects early, and validate that the system meets requirements.

What role does maintenance play after the deployment of a system?

• Maintenance is crucial for ensuring system reliability, security, and performance after deployment.

• Maintenance is primarily focused on user training after deployment.

• Maintenance is only necessary during the initial setup of a system.

• Maintenance has no impact on system performance or security.
