Ten Phases Of System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

1.4 THE PHASES OF SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE

Before get on to the phases of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC), come we make clear our-self on the definition of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). System is a wide and a common term and is an exercise of mutually beneficial or interacting elements forming an integrated whole which a term that can be utilized in different industries. Hence, System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a constricted term that states the of six main stages to creating hardware system only, a software element only or that mixes with other software components to create the whole system of both to meet or exceed customer’s expected values.

From the below figure 1 we can understand on the basic six phases

The detail of ten phases of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and the Basic six phases that already included in the ten phases. The first phases is initiation phase, is where in this phase the initiation of system is starts when the organizations needs is identified. A project manager should be appointed to manage the project. This the organization need is documented in a concept proposal and the system concept development phase is begins right after the concept proposal is approved.

Second phase is the system concept development phase, where the approaches for executing the concept are reviewed for the suitability and practicably, just after the organization’s need is obtained. The system boundary document identifies the scope of the system and involves senior official approval and funding before starting the planning

In this phase the system or system adjustments are established and made usable in a production environment. The phase is initiated after the system has been tested and accepted by the user. In the Software Development Life Cycle, the existent code is cursive here, and in case the system incorporates hardware, so the implementation phase will comprise design and fine-tuning for the hardware to meet certain obligations and purposes. In this phase also, the system is primed to be distributed and placed in client’s sites, live and productive, ripe to become operative, training may be necessary for final stage users to ensure they cognize how to exercise the system and to become familiar with it, the implementation phase may take a long time and that depends on the complexity of the system and the solution it
