Software Engineering - Life Cycle Models
The chapter provides a detailed examination of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) models, emphasizing their structured approach to software project management. It discusses the importance of universally intrinsic phases, such as requirements engineering, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance based on varying project contexts. The chapter also highlights the evolution from chaotic coding practices to structured methods, aiming to achieve predictability, risk management, stakeholder satisfaction, and quality assurance in software development processes.

What we have learnt
- SDLC is essential for structured and predictable software development.
- Effective SDLC models emphasize clear phases, documentation, and stakeholder involvement.
- Adapting the SDLC based on project-specific needs leads to better management and project outcomes.
Key Concepts
- -- Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
- A structured framework that outlines the phases of developing, deploying, and maintaining software.
- -- Requirements Engineering
- The process of gathering, analyzing, specifying, and validating system requirements.
- -- Iterative Model
- A software development model where the software is developed through repeated cycles, allowing for continual refinement.
- -- VModel
- A development model that emphasizes verification and validation processes alongside development phases.
