To be on top, companies are focusing on different phases of software development\u202fthat enable them to ship high-quality software.<\/p>\n<p>An SDLC is a breakdown of different steps present in software development (planning, coding, testing, and deployment). Companies consult experts to create a robust, and iterative framework that guides them through every stage.<\/p>\n<p>Read More<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SDLC_Life_Cycle_Phases\"><\/span>SDLC Life Cycle Phases<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18151 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orangemantra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/MicrosoftTeams-image-107.jpg\" alt=\"software-development-life-cycle\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Every SDLC implemented by business enterprises has common steps to implement. Let&#8217;s take a close look of an average software development life cycle.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Requirements_Analysis\"><\/span>Requirements Analysis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first step involves defining of the project&#8217;s requirements. A few major questions to ask are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is the software goal?<\/li>\n<li>What business will generate from software products?<\/li>\n<li>Is the team going to build new software, or are we customizing existing system?<\/li>\n<li>Is their any specific deadlines?<\/li>\n<li>Is our team have the necessary skills, or we need to outsource the software?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This stage has different stakeholders including business analytic, developers, testers, team leads, and security teams. On number of ocassions, end users are involved for the input. All data insights are added into Software requirements specification (SRS) document.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Feasibility_Study\"><\/span>Feasibility Study<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Senior resources perform a feasibility study to identify the software&#8217;s practicality. The process majorly focuses on below elements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Assigned budget<\/li>\n<li>Legal documentations<\/li>\n<li>Business requirements<\/li>\n<li>Existing in-house talent<\/li>\n<li>Project deadline<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every insights from this phase is added with existing SRS to get feedback from the management. The feedback could be in the favor of moving forward or asks the team to review again and bring new ideas in SDLC.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Design_Plan\"><\/span>Design Plan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once management gives green signal, the team starts developing a design plan providing information of the software application. It includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Architecture including programming language, and databases<\/li>\n<li>List of software features<\/li>\n<li>Software infrastructure<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orangemantra.com\/services\/ui-ux-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UI\/UX design<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Security measures including SSL encryption, and password protection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The team collects information and in the Design Document Specification (DDS). Management reviews the DDS and approves for next phase.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Software_Development\"><\/span>Software Development<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The development team analyze DDS to create quality code. In all SDLC life cycle phases, this is the most time-consuming. To keep your pace, use agile methodologies.<\/p>\n<p>This phase brings a running software that meets all the requirements mentioned in above phases. Software code needs advanced testing but basic tests are performed by developers itself.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advanced_Software_Testing\"><\/span>Advanced Software Testing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The software developed goes through testing phase of SDLC. Companies follow diverse testing methods to verify the software application functionality, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unit testing<\/li>\n<li>Code quality testing<\/li>\n<li>Regression testing<\/li>\n<li>Performance testing<\/li>\n<li>Security testing<\/li>\n<li>Smoke testing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most business focus on automated testing to speed up development work, but some give priority to manual testing. Once a defect is identified, the code is sent back to previous phase, and developers build flawless code version. The testing ensure code is robust, free of bugs, and match desired quality levels.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deployment_Maintenance\"><\/span>Deployment &amp; Maintenance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The product passed from testing step is released for general usage. Some projects need to release with manuals or guide videos for end users. Majorly deployment comes immediate after testing by default. Companies following high standards may need manual approvals of deployment.<\/p>\n<p>Most companies release version for limited number of people to get feedback. Later it is released for the whole customer base. Limited access limit the impact of any possible bugs and an overlooked issue. When any bug comes into picture, periodic maintenance is performed by experts based on the feedback.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SDLC_Types_for_Software_Development\"><\/span>SDLC Types for Software Development<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Different SDLC types are available for software development as per any business requirements. Let&#8217;s check a few prominent ones for implementation.<\/p>\n<h4>Waterfall<\/h4>\n<p>It is the most used and oldest strategy available for software development. This strategy follows a one-way process involving following steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Requirement gathering<\/li>\n<li>Software design<\/li>\n<li>Coding<\/li>\n<li>Testing<\/li>\n<li>Software deployment<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orangemantra.com\/services\/maintenance-and-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Support &amp; maintenance<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>V-Shaped Model<\/h4>\n<p>The V-shaped model mostly talks about the software verification and validation. It ensures testing is done with every step to get real-time output. Each verification phase has a dedicated validation stage. It involves the following phases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Requirement analysis<\/li>\n<li>Software design<\/li>\n<li>High-level design<\/li>\n<li>Low-level design<\/li>\n<li>Prototype Model<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This prototype model needs the team to build a working product during design process. In comparison to actual product, a prototype has:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dummy features<\/li>\n<li>Sluggish performance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Companies prefer this SDLC type to get valuable and timely customer feedback. Users share input on the prototype version and developers implement changes for improved version.<\/p>\n<p>This is an iterative process and performed until customers are not satisfied. After which team starts building the final product.<\/p>\n<h4>Iterative Model<\/h4>\n<p>Here the team deploy incomplete software at the end of each phase. The first iteration meets a specific set of requirements and every version is improved from previous one. Each iteration follows the below phases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Inception phase<\/li>\n<li>Elaboration phase<\/li>\n<li>Deployment phase<\/li>\n<li>Transition phase<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each iteration is properly verified and requires feedback from decision-makers. The last iteration went through rigorous testing to ensure all the requirements are the same as documented.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Up\"><\/span>Wrapping Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Companies on regular basis face technical challenges to deliver high-quality products. In a competitive market, building software needs proper steps in terms of SDLC. Start your development following the strict phases of SDLC and build a secure software application.<\/p>\n<p>The stages of the SDLC and model vary depending on the business requirements of a specific industry. The steps are the same but the working process can be changed as per business needs.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, each step has its own importance when it comes to choosing an enterprise <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orangemantra.com\/services\/software-development\/\">software development company <\/a>for a successful business venture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orangemantra.com\/blog\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-enterprise-software-development\">Enterprise Software Development: Things You Must Know<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>1- Do you offer cost-effective software development services?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are a reputed software development company offering different services at cost-effective pricing.
