Software Development Life Cycle
The Software Development Life Cycle refers to the process of planning, creating, testing, and deploying software applications or programs. It typically includes stages such as requirements gathering, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. Each stage has its own set of activities and deliverables, with the overall goal of producing high-quality software that meets the needs of users. The SDLC helps ensure that software projects are completed on time, within budget, and according to specifications.
