System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

The document describes the phases of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC), which is a phased approach to analyzing and designing information systems. The 7 phases are: 1) Identifying problems, opportunities, and objectives. 2) Determining human information requirements. 3) Analyzing system needs. 4) Designing the recommended system. 5) Developing and documenting the system. 6) Testing and maintaining the system. 7) Implementing and evaluating the system. Each phase involves various activities like interviewing users, prototyping, testing, and training to successfully analyze requirements, design, and implement new information systems.

SYSTEM

DEVELOPMENT
LIFE CYCLE
(SDLC)
What is SDLC?
System Development Life Cycle
is a phased approach to analysis and
design in information systems are best
developed through the use of a specific
cycle of analyst and user activities.
Phases of SDLC
1. Identifying Problems, Opportunities, and Objectives.
This phase is critical to the success of the rest
of the project, because no one wants to waste time
addressing the wrong problem.

PROBLEMS OPPORTUNITES OBJECTIVES


Activity:

• Interviewing •Estimating
user the scope of
management the project

• Summarizing •Documenting
the knowledge
the results
obtained
2. Determining Human Information Requirements.
This uses activities to pose and answer questions
concerning human-computer interaction: What are the
users’ strengths and limitations?

Who Where
How

What When

Why
Activity:

•Interviewing •Sampling and


investing hard data

•Prototyping

•Questionnaires
•the decision maker’s behavior
and environment
3. Analyzing System Needs.
This phase of the SDLC tends to analyze the
needs of the systems through different specifications.
There are also graphical representation on how the
system flow will look like such as:
System proposal – summarizes what has been found

•about users

•usability and usefulness of current system

•provides cost/benefit analysis of alternatives

•makes recommendations on what (if anything) should be


done
4. Designing the Recommended System.
This phase focuses on the use of the information
collected data to accomplish the logical design of the
information system.
Activity:

•Procedures
for System Controls Back-up Procedures
data entry

•Human-computer Interface Files / Databases


5. Developing and Documenting the System.
The analyst uses structure charts and
pseudocode to communicate to the programmer
what needs to be programmed.
Activity:

•analyst works
•Programmers
with
design, code, and
programmers
remove
syntactical errors
•Works with •Document
users software
6. Testing and Maintaining the System.

This phase focuses on testing the system wherein the


said process should take place first with sample data and
then with actual data and it is done by both programmers
and analyst. maintenance started on this phase and is carried
out routinely through the life of the system
Activity:

•Test the
information system

•System
maintenance

•Maintenance
documentation
7. Implementing and Evaluating the System.

This phase is intended for training the


users on how to handle the system.

System conversion
-converting files from old formats to new ones, or building a
database, installing equipment, and bringing the new system into
production.
Activity:

•Train users

•Analyst plans smooth


conversion from old
system to new system
•Review
and
evaluate system
