Introduction
 Fundamental concept in Software
Engineering is the Software Life Cycle.
 Also called Software Development

Process.
What is software life cycle?
 It is a process used by the software industry
to design, develop and test high quality
software's.
 Just like human’s life cycle
Software Development Life Cycle
(SDLC)
 The SDLC aims to produce a high-quality
software that meets customer expectations,
reaches completion within times and cost
estimates.
Phases of SDLC
 Requirement Analysis

 Define the user

 Define the needs

 Define the

requirements
Requirement Analysis
 Requirement Analysis

 User Requirements
 Easy to use.
 Quality Product.
 More Safe & Secure product.

 Software Requirements
 Advance Tools & Technique
 Design
The output of SRS is the input of design phase.
With described in detail, including screen layouts,
process diagrams and other documentation.

 Two types of design -

 High Level Design (HLD)

 Low Level Design (LLD)
High Level Design (HLD)
1. List of modules and a overall idea of module.
2. Overall architecture diagrams along with
technology details.
Low Level Design (LLD)
 Describes each and every module in an
elaborate manner.
 Complete input and outputs for a module.
 Development
 Developers use the LLD document and write the
code in the programming language specified.
Example:
 C,C++,Java
 Testing
 The testing process involves development of a
 Testplan,
 Executing the plan and
 Documenting the test results.
Maintenance
 After the software is released and the client
starts using the software, maintenance phase
is started.
 Three things happen –
 Bug fixing,
 Upgrade,
 Enhancement
Software life cycle models
 Waterfall Model
 Iterative Model
 Spiral Model
 V-Model
 The other related methodologies are Agile Model,
Rapid Application Development (RAD) and
Prototyping Models.
