Software Design and Development: Software Engineering & SDLC Phases

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Software development is no different from any other creative process. It involves the planning, development, controlling, testing, and maintenance of software products. The software development life cycle (SDLC) is a framework used to expand that development process into different stages, ensuring that the team works together to minimize risk, reduce cost, and deliver a high-quality product. Begin by exploring the role of software engineering in development. Then, examine the SDLC phases to discover the business needs for project analysis and project plan development. Finally, investigate development and implementation steps and learn about the importance of testing prior to deployment. Upon completion, you will be able to list all the phases of the SDLC and name a final document of each phase.
