Agile software delivery
As we introduced in Chapter 2, the SDLC is a structured process used for developing software applications. It outlines a series of steps or phases that guide the development process from initial planning to deployment and maintenance. The primary goal of the SDLC is to ensure that the software meets user requirements, is delivered on time, and is of high quality.
The main phases of the SDLC typically include the following:
- Requirements analysis: Gathering and analyzing the requirements from stakeholders
- Design: Creating architectural and detailed design documents
- Implementation: Writing the actual code based on the design
- Testing: Verifying that the software works as intended and is free of bugs
- Evolution: Providing ongoing support and making necessary updates
