Systems Development Life Cycle

Paper Summary:

The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLS) has historically been a very useful tool in the development of software and operating systems in computer information technology. The five phases performed within a linear pattern of a SDLS are: Planning, analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance. This work gives a detailed analysis of each of these five phases and demonstrates ways in which the linear system is effective and how it has been used to develop new systems and subsystems that have greatly influenced the world of technology and business. Lastly, it briefly discusses possible alterations to the system and some shortcomings seen in the implementation of its use over the years.

From the Paper:

"Many designers would consider the most crucial and exciting phase of the life cycle to be the design phase. This is where the on-paper theories are put into proposed code. The design team takes the planning and analysis, goals and guidelines for purpose and use and begins the development stage. During this phase the design team describes features to be performed in greater detail, they describe scream composition, apply rules of business, write countless diagrams describing functions and processes and begin documenting the first phase of code, called pseudocode, or theoretical code. It is from this paper trail that the development of the next phase begins."
