Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)


 “A project management framework organized
into phases and activities”

 General prescription for developing systems

 Comprises a collection of interlinked phases

 Variations include »
 System Initiation  Construction
 Investigation  Deployment
 Feasibility Study  Maintenance
 Programming  Review

Software Process Model


A software process model is an abstract representation of a process. It
presents a description of a process from some particular perspective.

A structured set of activities required to develop a software system.

All software processes involve


 Specification – defining what the system should do;
 Design and implementation – defining the organization of
the system and implementing the system;
 Validation – checking that it does what the customer wants;
 Evolution – changing the system in response to changing
customer needs.

Software Development Methodology

A software development methodology is a framework


that is used to:
 structure,
 plan, and
 control
the process of developing a software.

r. Sayed AbdelGaber
Software Development Methodologies Lecture 1: SDLC

Software Development Methods Categories


 Plan-driven
All of the process activities are planned in advance and progress is
measured against this plan.

 Agile
Planning is incremental and it is easier to change the process to
reflect changing customer requirements.

 most practical processes include elements of both plan-driven and agile


approaches.

 There are no right or wrong software processes.
