SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE
According to Wikipedia, The systems development life cycle (SDLC), also referred to as the application development life-cycle, is a term used in systems engineering, information systems and software engineering to describe a process for planning, creating, testing, and deploying an information system.The systems development life-cycle concept applies to a range of hardware and software configurations, as a system can be composed of hardware only, software only, or a combination of both.
STEPS
1. PLANNING
- Systems request
- IT requirements
- Major request
- New IS
- Or Replacement of an Existing system
- Minor Request
- new feature or a change to the user interface
- Preliminary Investigation
2. ANALYSIS
- is to understand business requirements and build a logical model of the new system
- Requirements Modeling
- where you define and describe business processes
- Interviews, Surveys, Observation and Sampling
- System Requirements Document
3. DESIGN
- is to create a blueprint for the new system that will satisfy all documented requirements
- you identify all necessary outputs, inputs, interfaces, and processes
- design internal and external controls
- systems design specification
4. IMPLEMENTATION
- the new system is constructed
- programs are written, tested, and documented, and the system is installed
- to deliver a completely functioning and documented information system
- System Conversion
- Training of Users
- Actual transition of System
5. SYSTEM OPERATION AND SUPPORT
- maintains and enhances the system
- changes correct errors and adapt to changes in the environment
- enhancement provide new features and benefits
- to maximize return on the IT investment
