System Development Life Cycle

A methodology in developing a system wherein a programmer undergoes several phases to obtain a good and quality system. It is the overall process of developing, implementing, and retiring information systems through a multistep process from initiation, analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance to disposal

System Development Life Cycle

It usually has five (5) phases.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Initiation Development and Acquisition Implementation Operations and Maintenance Disposal

INITIATION PHASE
This phase involves the actual recognition of the problem. In this phase, software developers are gathering information which are relevant to the problem.
The organization establishes the need for a system and documents its purpose.

DEVELOPMENT AND ACQUISITION PHASE

This phase involves the actual development or acquisition of a system according to the requirements being established by the organization. This is the phase where the system is designed, purchased, programmed, or otherwise constructed.

IMPLEMENTATION PHASE
This phase involves the actual implementation and deployment of the system after subjecting the system to series of tests and debugging if there are errors. This is the phase where the organization configures and enables security, tests the functionalities of these features, installs or implements the system, and obtain a formal authorization to operate the system.

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PHASE

This phase involves the actual operation of the system in a specific environment. It also involves enhancement and modifications according to the continuous change of requirements.

DISPOSAL PHASE
This phase involves the actual planning for disposing the information, system, and hardware due to a transition to a new system.
