• Software Development Life Cycle

• System Development Life Cycle

• Software Design Life Cycle

• Software Deployment Life Cycle

What is the first stage of the Software Development Life Cycle?

• Testing

• Implementation

• Design Phase

• Requirements Gathering and Analysis

Why is the analysis stage important in SDLC?

• It eliminates the need for testing later stages.

• It ensures clear understanding of requirements and project scope.

• It focuses on coding and implementation.

• It is primarily concerned with user interface design.

What should be considered during the analysis stage?

• Budget constraints and timelines

• Team member preferences

• Stakeholders, subject matter experts, project managers, and end-users

• Marketing team members

What type of information is gathered in the analysis stage?

• Budget estimates and financial projections.

• Spiral model

• Waterfall model

• V-Model

• Agile model

What happens after the analysis stage in SDLC?

• The maintenance stage begins.

• The design stage begins.

• The implementation stage begins.

• The testing stage begins.

Why is user feedback important in the software development process?

• User feedback is irrelevant to software updates.

• User feedback is important because it helps improve product quality and user satisfaction.

• User feedback only complicates the development process.

• User feedback is primarily used for marketing purposes.
