Gathering Requirements & Analysis

The second step is gathering maximum information from the client requirements for the product. Discuss each detail and specification of the product with the customer. The development team will then analyse the requirements keeping the design and code of the software in mind. The main goal of this stage is that everyone understands even the minute detail of the requirement. Hardware, operating systems, programming, and are to name the few requirements.

Coding or Implementation

Time to code! It means translating the design to a computer-legible language. In this fourth stage of SDLC, the tasks are divided into modules or units and assigned to various developers. The developers will then start building the entire system by writing code using the programming languages they chose. This stage is considered to be one of the longest in SDLC. The developers need certain predefined coding guidelines, and programming tools like interpreters, compilers, debugger to implement the code.

Testing

Once the developers build the software, then it is deployed in the testing environment. Then the testing team tests the functionality of the entire system. In this fifth phase of SDLC, the testing is done to ensure that the entire application works according to the customer requirements.
