SDLC & QA's Role in IT
The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) presents a structured approach for creating software applications, emphasizing the importance of quality assurance (QA) throughout the process. Different SDLC models, such as Waterfall and Agile, showcase distinct phases and QA roles, with Agile allowing for more continuous involvement. Effective QA practices are crucial for ensuring high-quality outcomes in software development.

What we have learnt
- SDLC is a systematic framework that guides software development.
- QA should be integrated at every phase of the SDLC to prevent defects.
- Different SDLC models have unique characteristics affecting the QA process.
Key Concepts
- -- Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
- A structured process used by development teams to design, develop, test, and deploy software applications.
- -- Waterfall Model
- A linear, step-by-step model where each phase must be completed before the next begins, requiring upfront documentation and involvement.
- -- Agile Model
- An iterative and incremental model that promotes flexibility and continuous delivery through short development cycles called sprints.
- -- QA Involvement
- The role of quality assurance in ensuring that testing and validation processes are incorporated from the beginning of development work.
