Software Development Life Cycle
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a process-oriented approach to developing software through well-defined phases, ensuring proper planning, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance. It promotes discipline and structure in the development process, aligning it with business requirements and objectives. In this hierarchy, SDLC fits into Software Defect Tracking by providing an overarching framework for managing the entire software development process. By adhering to SDLC principles, organizations can better manage their software projects, minimize defects, and optimize resources, leading to improved product quality and customer satisfaction.
