Planning

"Laying the foundation for successful software development."

In the planning phase of the SDLC, tasks and objectives are organized and prepared. Tools like Jira are utilized to manage stories and tasks, setting a solid foundation for the entire project.

Development

"Coding the core of your software."

During development, developers take user stories and commit code to version control systems like Git. This phase is crucial for building the actual software product using collaborative platforms such as GitHub.

Testing

"Ensuring quality and performance."

Testing involves various quality assurance processes, including regression and performance tests. Tools like JUnit and SonarQube are used for testing and static code analysis, ensuring that the software meets all requirements and quality standards.

Deployment

"Releasing your software to the world."

Deployment involves moving the software to production environments. This stage often includes using continuous integration tools like Jenkins and deploying to various environments such as development, QA, and UAT.

Post-Release

"Maintaining and enhancing software value."

Post-release activities include monitoring with tools like Prometheus and managing system reliability through SRE practices. This phase ensures the software continues to meet user needs and remains reliable over time.
