SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle)

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a structured process used to create software applications. It involves several key stages: planning, where the project is defined; design, where the software's architecture is outlined; development, where the actual coding occurs; testing, where the software is checked for bugs and issues; deployment, where it is launched for use; and maintenance, where ongoing support and updates are provided. This cycle ensures that the software is built effectively, meets user needs, and functions reliably over time.
