Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Author’s Name: Institution: Date: Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) The system development life cycle is an interface that enables its subscribers to transform and maintain their newly-invented projects into functional and operational ones. In a nutshell, the System Development Life Cycle otherwise referred to as SDLC is multifaceted, iterative process orchestrated systematically CITATION Bra16 \l 1033 (Garland, 2016). It is designed to provide a framework or a model for non-technical and technical processes that offer quality operations that manage the progression of decision-making and meet the expectations of businesses. The paper seeks to evaluate and analyze critical phases of the security life cycle CITATION Sco17 \l 1033 (McMichael, 2017). It also classifies and describes the roles of security positions in management and non-management IT. Evaluation and Analysis of the Key Phases of the Security Life Cycle Conventionally, System-Development Life Cycle comprised of five phases or stages but has since been increased to seven methodical steps CITATION Bra16 \l 1033 (Garland, 2016). The change in the number of phases enables system analysts to reach precise and more elaborate actions that achieve specific objectives. The critical phases of the security life cycle include: Planning This phase entails harmonization of the resources, potential expenses, and estimation of the potential benefits and calculation of time as well as other items CITATION Bra16 \l 1033 (Garland, 2016). The main aim of this stage is to determine the range of the problem and find its solutions. System analysis and requirements During this stage, the system analysts consider operational requirements of the model and their potential solutions CITATION Sco17 \l 1033 (McMichael, 2017). Additionally, the experts also analyze the demands and expectations of the potential clients and end-users to ensure that they establish and duly meet their needs. System Design This is the third step in the security system that idents to provide a detailed description of necessary operations, features, and specifications that...
