Requirement Analysis is the only phase in SDLC.
What are the phases of the SDLC?
Planning, Analysis, Design, Implementation, Testing, Deployment, Maintenance
Planning, Execution, Testing, Maintenance
Planning, Analysis, Design, Testing
Analysis, Design, Implementation, Review
What is the importance of requirements gathering in SDLC?
Requirements gathering is irrelevant to stakeholder satisfaction.
Requirements gathering is only necessary for large projects.
It is primarily focused on coding standards and practices.
Requirements gathering is essential for ensuring project success by aligning stakeholder expectations with development efforts.
Describe the design phase in the SDLC.
The design phase in the SDLC focuses on creating detailed specifications and blueprints for the system based on requirements.
The design phase involves testing the system for bugs and issues.
The design phase focuses on gathering user feedback and requirements.
The design phase is where the system is deployed to users.
What is the purpose of the testing phase in SDLC?
To finalize the software documentation.
To gather user feedback on the interface.
To enhance the software's performance.
To identify defects and ensure the software meets requirements.
