The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a number of fundamental phases that teams must follow in order to produce and deliver high-quality software. Software TYPICALLY goes through the following phases:

• Requirements Gathering: The team identifies, collects, and defines core issues, requirements, requests, and customer expectations RELATED to the software application or service during this STAGE of the project. Generating software specifications, creating a thorough strategy, documentation, issue tracking, and project or product planning, including allocating the resources, are some tasks done during this phase.
• Software Design: The team makes software design decisions regarding the architecture and make of the software solution throughout this design phase of development.
• Software Development: Teams develop software solutions based on the design decisions made during earlier stages of the project
• Testing and Integration: Software is packaged and tested to ENSURE quality. Quality assurance, often known as testing, ENSURES that the solutions deployed fulfil the specified quality and performance criteria.
• Deployment: The software is installed in a production setting. The gathered, designed, built, and tested work is shared with the software service's customers and users.
• Operation and Maintenance: The software is installed in a production setting. The work is shared with the software service's customers and users.
