Stages of System Development Cycle
- Preliminary stage
- Feasibility stage
- Analysis
- Accuracy
- Readability
- Maintenance
- Generality.
Description of System Development Cycle
- Conceptual planning: This phase is the step one of any system’s life cycle. It is during this phase that you need to acquire or significantly enhance a system and identify its ability and cost, risks and various project planning approaches are defined.
- Planning and requirement: This begins after the report has been defined and appropriate resources have been committed.
- Design: This phase is the functional support and training requirement stage which is translated into preliminary and detailed designs. Decisions are made to address how the system will meet function requirement.
- Development and testing: During this stage, systems are developed or acquired based on detailed design specification. The system is validated through a sequence of unit and integration performance, system and acceptance testing.
- Implementation: During this phase, the new or enhanced system is installed in the production environment, users are trained, data is converted over to the sponsor and businesses processes are evaluated.
- Operation and maintenance: The system becomes operational in this stage.
- Disposition: This phase represents the end of the system’s life cycle. It provides for the systematic termination of a system to ensure that vital information is preserved for potential future access and reactivation.
Description of Stages of System Development Cycle
- Maintenance: The system is accessed to ensure it does not become obsolete.
- Feasibility study: This is conducted to determine whether creating a new or improved system is a viable solution.
- Analysis: The goal of this system is to determine where the problem of the system lies.
