 SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE (SDLC)

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a process used by the software industry to design,
develop and test high quality software. The SDLC aims to produce a high-quality software that
meets or exceeds customer expectations, reaches completion within times and cost estimates.
SDLC is a framework defining tasks performed at each step in the software development
process.

SDLC is a process followed for a software project, within a software organization. It consists
of a detailed plan describing how to develop, maintain, replace and alter or enhance specific
software. The life cycle defines a methodology for improving the quality of software and the
overall development process

An effective System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) should result in a high quality system
that meets customer expectations, reaches completion within time and cost evaluations, and
works effectively and efficiently in the current and planned Information Technology
infrastructure. System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a conceptual model, which includes
policies and procedures for developing or altering systems throughout their life cycles.

Phases of SDLC

Systems Development Life Cycle is a systematic approach, which explicitly breaks down the
work into phases that are required to implement either new or modified Information System.

Requirement Analysis

The first step in developing any software is to state the requirements. This applies just as much
to leading edge research as to simple programs and to personal programs, as well as too large
team efforts. Being vague about your objective only postpones decisions to a later stage where
changes are much more costly. The problem statement should state what is to be done and not
how it is to be done. It should be a statement of needs, not a proposal for a solution. A problem
statement may have more or less detail. Most problem statements are ambiguous, incomplete,
or even inconsistent. Some requirements are just plain wrong. Some requirements, although
precisely stated, have unpleasant consequences on the system behaviour or impose
unreasonable implementation costs. Some requirements seem reasonable at first but do not

15 | P a g e
work out as well as the request or thought. The problem statement is just a starting point for
understanding the problem, not an immutable document. The purpose of the subsequent

analysis is to fully understand the problem and its implications. There is no reasons to expect
that a problem statement prepared without a fully analysis will be correct.

Advantages

• Easy and quick access of information. • Authentic information to be provided.

• The web page is easy to work with.

Feasibility Study & Analyses

A feasibility study is a high-level capsule version of the entire System analysis and Design
Process. The study begins by classifying the problem definition. Feasibility is to determine if
it’s worth doing. Once an acceptance problem definition has been generated, the analyst
develops a logical model of the system. A search for alternatives is analysed carefully.

There are 3 parts in feasibility study:

1. Operational Feasibility: Questions that going to be asked are:

• Will the system be used if it is developed and implemented?

• Have the users been involved in planning and development of the Project?
• Will the system produce poorer result in any respect or area?
• This system can be implemented in the organization because there is adequate support from
management and users.

2. Technical feasibility:

• Does the necessary technology exist to do what is been suggested?

• Does the proposed equipment have the technical capacity for using the new system?
• Are there technical guarantees of accuracy, reliability and data security?
• The environment required in the development of system is any windows platform.
• The observer pattern along with factory pattern will update the results eventually.
• The language used in the development is Php & Windows Environment

16 | P a g e
3. Financial and Economical Feasibility:
The system developed and installed will be good benefit to the organization. The system will
be developed and operated in the existing hardware and software infrastructure. So there is no
need of additional hardware and software for the system.

Analysis

Software analysis is the study of the interacting entities. It is a detailed study of the various
operations performed by a software component and their relationships within and outside of
the system. One aspect of analysis is defining the boundaries of the system.During analysis,
data are collected on the available files, decision points, and transactions handled by the present
system.

Structured Analysis

Structured analysis is a set of techniques and graphical tools that allow the analyst to develop a
new kind of software specification that are easily understandable. There are various structured
tools on which the stress is laid. The purpose of structured analysis is to capture the detailed
structure of the system as perceived by the user.
