Chapter 10 Flashcards
What are the 7 steps of the System Development Lifecycle (SDLC)?
Planning: Establishes a high-level plan of the intended project and determines project goals.
Analysis phase – Involves analyzing end-user business requirements and refining project goals into defined functions and operations of the intended system.
Business requirement – Specific business requests the system must meet to be successful
Design phase – Establishes descriptions of the desired features and operations of the system including screen layouts, business rules, process diagrams, pseudo code, and other documentation.
Development phase – Involves taking all of the detailed design documents from the design phase and transforming them into the actual system.
Testing phase – Involves bringing all the project pieces together into a special testing environment to eliminate errors and bugs, and verify that the system meets all of the business requirements defined in the analysis phase.
Implementation phase – Involves placing the system into production so users can begin to perform actual business operations with it.
Maintenance phase – Involves performing changes, corrections, additions, and upgrades to ensure the system continues to meet its business goals
