It covers many activities; starts from understanding why the system should be built, studying the project feasibility, analyzing problems, choosing the system design and architecture, implementing and testing it, up to delivering the system as product to the user. SDLC is a process of gradual refinement, meaning that it is done through several development phases. Each phase continues and refines what's done in the previous phase. SDLC tries to achieve high quality system that meets or exceeds the requirements. Many methodologies have been developed and introduced in order to implement SDLC; some of them also try to improve other (previously) known methodology. Although each method follows certain different techniques and steps, they are all must go into the same development phases described above. There are many system development methods known today, but most of them basically are extended from three main methodologies which are Structured Design, RAD (Rapid Application Development), and Object-oriented Analysis and Design.

I'm currently waiting for a quite big project now, and I think it would be useful to have your site bookmarked. And thanks for visiting.

Do you recommend your information as a good answer to my task/question? Or are there more approaches to SDLC?

Thank you for the useful inputs you posted. It helps a lot to me. From your post I learn something new regarding on SDLC, how it flow and the uses. I already apply it on one of our projects. Good post friend. Keep it up!

Anyways everything you said is really true and in our subject in System Application and Development it was also discuss about that... NExt time I will also add some info about SDLC.

This article you posted was very beneficial. Thanx alot keep up the good posts pal :-) Mon, 19 May 2008 11:55:31 -0500 http://www.slepi.net/entry/sdlc_methodologies#response11 responses@slepi.net (Paul)
