The software development lifecycle (SDLC) is the cost-effective and time-efficient process that development teams use to design and build high-quality software. The goal of SDLC is to minimize project risks through forward planning so that software meets customer expectations during production and beyond.
Defining project scope, identifying resources, and setting timelines.
Creating detailed designs and wireframes to guide the development process.
Writing and compiling code to build functional software.
Verifying that the software works as intended and is free of bugs.
Releasing the software to users and monitoring for issues.
Providing ongoing support and updates to ensure software continues to meet user needs.
