SDLC stands for Software Development Life Cycle and refers to the process of planning, developing, testing and deploying an information system. It typically involves several stages including requirements analysis, design, development, testing, implementation and maintenance. There are various SDLC models like waterfall, iterative, spiral and V-model that define different approaches for how the development should proceed through each stage. The tutorial provides an overview of these common SDLC models and their characteristics.
We hear the term “DevOps” frequently in current press, popular books, and presentations from many product vendors. The DevOps concept focuses on how to build deep integration between Development and Operations, organizations who have historically been at odds. This has been brought about, in part, by the need to increase the velocity of delivery from development into production, while ensuring that the Production environments are always running.
Many of the difficulties are well understood, and documented in those same DevOps articles, books and presentations. One of the big problems to solve is ensuring that everyone is working with the same processes, systems, and tools, throughout the product development and delivery cycle.
The Development team needs to know that changes they deliver to Operations will work in Production, so they need to develop and test their changes in environments that match Production systems. The same automation scripts Operations use in Production should be used in the early test VMs and pre-Production test labs. Any changes to the system that were required by the Developers would be made in the automation scripts directly, and included with their updates. Those scripts then document the modified environment, improving the ability to review changes with the Operations team before they would be applied.
The Operations team needs to know that what they are deploying has already been proven to work in Production, or spend critical time re-validating changes during “outage windows”. Automating system setup and configuration is not new, but historically the scripts were monolithic, requiring the Operations team to modify the core code when moving from test labs into Production. Separating the actions in the automation code from the environmental data (such as server names & accounts) simplifies the updates, and reduces the risk of error. In addition, by restricting changes to what is in automation scripts, updates can be validated in advance, rolled back if something bad occurs, and all common systems can be ensured to be consistent.
The development of PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) was based in part on these requirements.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a process used by the software industry to
design, develop and test high quality softwares. The SDLC aims to produce a high-quality
software that meets or exceeds customer expectations, reaches completion within times
and cost estimates.
SDLC is the acronym of Software Development Life Cycle.
It is also called as Software Development Process.
SDLC is a framework defining tasks performed at each step in the software
development process.
ISO/IEC 12207 is an international standard for software life-cycle processes. It
aims to be the standard that defines all the tasks required for developing and
maintaining software.
WhatisSDLC?
SDLC is a process followed for a software project, within a software organization. It
consists of a detailed plan describing how to develop, maintain, replace and alter or
enhance specific software. The life cycle defines a methodology for improving the quality
of software and the overall development process.
The following figure is a graphical representation of the various stages of a typical SDLC.

A typical Software Development Life Cycle consists of the following stages:
Stage 1: Planning and Requirement Analysis
Requirement analysis is the most important and fundamental stage in SDLC. It is
performed by the senior members of the team with inputs from the customer, the sales
department, market surveys and domain experts in the industry. This information is then
used to plan the basic project approach and to conduct product feasibility study in the
economical, operational and technical areas.
Planning for the quality assurance requirements and identification of the risks associated
with the project is also done in the planning stage. The outcome of the technical feasibility
study is to define the various technical approaches that can be followed to implement the
project successfully with minimum risks.
Stage 2: Defining Requirements
Once the requirement analysis is done the next step is to clearly define and document the
product requirements and get them approved from the customer or the market analysts.
This is done through an SRS (Software Requirement Specification) document which
consists of all the product requirements to be designed and developed during the project
life cycle.
Stage 3: Designing the Product Architecture
SRS is the reference for product architects to come out with the best architecture for the
product to be developed. Based on the requirements specified in SRS, usually more than
one design approach for the product architecture is proposed and documented in a DDS -
Design Document Specification.
This DDS is reviewed by all the important stakeholders and based on various parameters
as risk assessment, product robustness, design modularity, budget and time constraints,
the best design approach is selected for the product.
A design approach clearly defines all the architectural modules of the product along with
its communication and data flow representation with the external and third party modules
(if any). The internal design of all the modules of the proposed architecture should be
clearly defined with the minutest of the details in DDS.
Stage 4: Building or Developing the Product
In this stage of SDLC the actual development starts and the product is built. The
programming code is generated as per DDS during this stage. If the design is performed
in a detailed and organized manner, code generation can be accomplished without much
hassle.
Developers must follow the coding guidelines defined by their organization and
programming tools like compilers, interpreters, debuggers, etc. are used to generate the
code. Different high level programming languages such as C, C++, Pascal, Java and PHP
are used for coding. The programming language is chosen with respect to the type of
software being developed.

Stage 5: Testing the Product
This stage is usually a subset of all the stages as in the modern SDLC models, the testing
activities are mostly involved in all the stages of SDLC. However, this stage refers to the
testing only stage of the product where product defects are reported, tracked, fixed and
retested, until the product reaches the quality standards defined in the SRS.
Stage 6: Deployment in the Market and Maintenance
Once the product is tested and ready to be deployed it is released formally in the
appropriate market. Sometimes product deployment happens in stages as per the business
strategy of that organization. The product may first be released in a limited segment and
tested in the real business environment (UAT- User acceptance testing).
Then based on the feedback, the product may be released as it is or with suggested
enhancements in the targeting market segment. After the product is released in the
market, its maintenance is done for the existing customer base.
SDLCModels
There are various software development life cycle models defined and designed which are
followed during the software development process. These models are also referred as
"Software Development Process Models". Each process model follows a Series of steps
unique to its type to ensure success in the process of software development.
Following are the most important and popular SDLC models followed in the industry:
Waterfall Model
Iterative Model
Spiral Model
V-Model
Big Bang Model
Other related methodologies are Agile Model, RAD Model, Rapid Application Development
and Prototyping Models.
