Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC): End-to-End Overview

The Development Phase, also called the Implementation Phase, is where the actual software is built based on the requirements and designs created in the earlier phases. Key activities include:

• Translating SRS and design documents into code.
• Setting up development environments (IDEs, frameworks, libraries).
• Following coding standards and version control practices.
• Performing initial unit testing as code is developed.

Key Points of this development phase:

• Developers write code in sprints (if using Agile) or according to project milestones (Waterfall).
• Collaboration with QA and BA is crucial to clarify requirements.
• Regular integration ensures modules work together.
