Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

Sometimes in interview this question arise and generally they ask regarding the phases of Software Development model so i am just presenting a Brief idea regarding the SDLC.


There are many approaches which used in software Development like Waterfall Model, Incremental Model, V Model, Iterative Model, Spiral Model, Big Bang Model etc.

SDLC have following steps:

1) Requirement Analysis: In this phase, Development Team work on gathering the information as much as possible regarding the software. For gathering the information team arrange the meeting with the client, review old sites regarding that work, Team internal Meeting to understand the requirement.

2) System design: In this Phase, Developer plan the System Architecture. System design includes the Scope of Project, Scheduling Plan, Resource Availability, Limitation of the Software, What's new in learning phase, impact over the personal and professional and the end users and the requirement of hardware and software.

3) Software Design: In this phase, all information gathering done in first phase used to design the software. Input is all information and User input and the output of this phase is the Software Design.

4) Coding Phase: In this phase, The system design will be converted to the programming part. here all units and module developed in programming language to match the user requirement. This is longest phase of the SDLC.

5) Testing Phase: In this phase, Tester verified the developed software with Verification and Validation to match with the Retirement. In this phase all issue/errors/bugs/mistake is fixed by the developer who found by the testers. Unit Testing, Integration Testing. System Testing and Acceptance Testing are the part of the Testing phase.

6) Deploy: After successful testing and development , the software will be deployed to the client side for use so that users can verified the software as he/she wants.

7) Maintenance: Once users start using the software then may issue generated. Maintenance is the term to fix all such issue generated which are found during the end user use the software. Software keep updating in future as user want some more features for his/her software.  You heard about the Beta version of the software. Beta version means the product is under maintenance but releases for user use.

What is API?

In general way, API (Application Programming Interface) is the intermediate software which is useful for two applications to communicate. API is the tool which is used for interaction of two applications. If developer developing any software which have multiple blocks (Modules) than developer use APIs to put them together.

Ad-Hoc Testing

Ad-Hoc Testing is the testing type which is performed without any proper procedure and without any Requirement Specification. Ad-Hoc testing is totally informal testing which have intension to break the application as early as possible and found important defect early.  In Ad-hoc testing tester do not have any test cases so only the users who have very high knowledge regarding the application only they can perform Ad-Hoc Testing.

XPath Expression to locate Web Element

In last article i mentioned you how to locate the Web Element with id, Name, LinkText, Partial LinkText, CSS Selectors, Class Name and Tag Name. We use FireBug add-one to use these 7 locators to locate the Web Element on Web Page. Now we are talking about XPath expression. Which is also a type of Locator. We need FirePath add-ons to use it.
