SDLC Models and Phases Explained

The document discusses the systems development life cycle (SDLC), which relates to methodologies used to develop computer systems. SDLC models include waterfall, fountain, spiral, incremental, and synchronize and stabilize. The oldest model is the waterfall model, which involves sequential stages from planning to implementation. Key phases of SDLC include initiation/planning, requirements gathering and analysis, and design.

Systems Development Life Cycle


, or Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), relatesto models ormethodologies that people use to develop
systems, generallycomputersystems. Computer systems have become more complex and usually (especially
with theadvent ofService-Oriented Architecture) link multiple traditional systems often suppliedby different
software [Link] manage this, a number of system development life cycle (SDLC) models have beencreated:
waterfall, fountain, spiral, build and fix, rapid prototyping, incremental, andsynchronize and stabilize. Although in
the academic sense, SDLC can be used to refer tovarious models, SDLC is typically used to refer to a waterfall
methodology.
Phases
SDLC adheres to important phases that are essential for developers, such as planning,analysis, design, and
implementation, and are explained in the section below. There areseveral SDLC Models in existence. The oldest
model, that was originally regarded as“the SDLC” is the waterfall model: a sequence of stages in which the
output of each stagebecomes the input for the next. These stages generally follow the same basic steps butmany
different waterfall methodologies give the steps different names and the number ofsteps seems to vary
between 4 and [Link] is no definitively correct SDLC model, but the steps can be characterized anddivided as
follows:
Initiation/Planning
To generate a high-level view of the intended project and determine the goals of theproject. The feasibility study
is sometimes used to present the project to uppermanagement in an attempt to gain funding. Projects are
typically evaluated in three areasof feasibility: economical, operational, and technical. Furthermore, it is also used
as areference to keep the project on track and to evaluate the progress of the MIS team (Post& Anderson, 2006)
The MIS is also a complement of those phase. This phase is alsocalled the analysis phase.
Requirements Gatherings And Analysis
The goal of systems analysis is to determine where the problem is in attempt to fix thesystem. This step involves
breaking down the system in different pieces and drawingdiagrams to analyze the situation. Analysts project
goals, breaking down functions that
