Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC): A Structured Approach to Building Reliable Software Systems

Abstract

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a systematic process used to design, develop, test, and deploy software applications. It provides a structured framework that ensures high-quality software development while minimizing risks and costs. SDLC encompasses various phases, including planning, analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. Different SDLC models, such as Waterfall, Agile, and Spiral, offer flexible approaches to managing software projects based on requirements and complexity. This article explores the concepts, phases, models, applications, advantages, and challenges of SDLC. It highlights the importance of adopting appropriate methodologies and tools to improve efficiency, collaboration, and product quality. The integration of modern practices such as DevOps and automation is also discussed as a key factor in enhancing the SDLC process.
