Software Development Life Cycle
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) within Configuration Management refers to the structured series of phases that organizations undergo to produce high-quality software. This process encompasses planning, analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. By defining and adhering to this sequence, teams can ensure consistency, repeatability, and continuous improvement in their software development efforts. It plays a crucial role in Application Lifecycle Management by providing a framework for managing the entire lifecycle of applications from conception to retirement, ensuring that the software remains relevant, secure, and efficient throughout its existence.
