Explanation:
SDLC
SDLC stands for Software Development Life Cycle
It provides steps for developing a software product
It also checks for the quality and correctness of a software
The main aim of SDLC is to develop a software, which meets a customer requirements
SDLC involves various phases to develop a high-quality product for its end user
Phases of SDLC
There are seven phases in a software development life cycle as follows,
Requirement Analysis Feasibility Study Design Coding Testing Deployment Maintenance
kindly check the attached image below
Requirement analysis
This is the first stage in a SDLC.
In this phase, a detailed and precise requirements are collected from various teams by senior team members
It gives a clear idea of the entire project scope, opportunities and upcoming issues in a project
This phase also involves, planning assurance requirements and analyze risk involved in the project
Here, the timeline to finish the project is finalized
Feasibility Study
In this stage, the SRS document, that is “Software Requirement Specification” document is defined, which includes everything to be designed and developed during the life cycle of a project
Design
In this phase as the name indicates, software and system design documents are prepared, based on the requirement specification document
This enable us to define the whole system architecture
Two types of design documents are prepared in this phase as follows,
High-Level Design
Low-Level Design
Coding
In this phase, the coding of project is done in a selected programming language
Tasks are divided into many units and given to various developers
It is the longest phase in the SDLC
Testing
In this stage, the developed coding is tested by the testing team
The testing team, checks the coding in the user point of view
Installation/Deployment
In this stage, a product is released by the company to the client
Maintenance
Once the product is delivered to the client, the maintenance phase work will start by fixing errors, modifying and enhancing the product.
Employee Payroll System
Requirement analysis
Gather information from various team for requirement
Analyze the number of employees to handle the project
Timeline to finish the project, eg.1 month
Feasibility Study
The system requirements such as how many systems are required
Decide which software to be installed to handle the project.
For example, if we are going to develop the software using C language, then software for that has to be installed
The SRS document has to be prepared
Design
In this the HLD and LLD is prepared, the overall software architecture is prepared
The modules involved in coding are decided
Here the modules can be employee, payroll manager, Employee Log time, account details
The input and output are designed, such as employee name is the input and output is the salary for him, based on working hours
Coding
Here the coding is divided into various sections and given to 2 or more employees
One may code employee detail, one will code working hours of employees and one may code the banking details of employee
Testing
The coding is tested for syntax, declaration, data types and various kinds of error
The testing team will test the coding with various possible values
They may even check with wrong values and analyze the output for that
Installation
Now the software is installed in the client system and the client is calculating the payroll for an employee based on working hours in a month
Maintenance
If any error occurs, the team will clear the issue.
When a new employee joins, then the employee data will added to the database and the database is updated
Also if the client asks for any new features, it will done in this phase.
