ITM 102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Systems Development Life Cycle, Rational Unified Process, Rapid Application Development
Document Summary
Systems development life cycle (sdlc): the overall process for developing information systems from planning and analysis through implementation and maintenance: planning. Planning phase: involves establishing a high level plan of the intended project and determining project goals: analysis. Analysis phase: involves analyzing end-user business requirements and refining project goals into defined functions and operations of the intended system. Business requirements: the detailed set of business requests that the system must meet to be successful: design. Design phase: involves describing the desired features and operations of the system, including screen layouts, business rules, process diagrams, pseudo code and other documentation: development. Development phase: involves taking all of the detailed design, documents from the design phase and transforming them into the actual system: testing. Testing phase: involves brining all the project pieces together into a special testing environment to test for errors, bugs and interoperability, to verify that the system meets all the business requirements defined in the analysis phase: implementation:
