Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) provides a structured approach for the design, development, testing, and deployment of software. It consists of various models including Waterfall, V-Model, Spiral, Agile, and Hybrid, each with distinctive characteristics, pros and cons. Understanding these models allows teams to select the right approach tailored to project requirements, ensuring efficient delivery and management throughout the software creation process.
