📚 SDLC AND SOFTWARE DESIGN TOPICS

• SDLC Foundations

Understand why structured development processes matter and how software moves through planning, analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance.

• Waterfall and V-Model

Learn sequential development, verification, validation, documentation.

• Iterative, Incremental, and Spiral Models

Study repeated development cycles, staged delivery, and risk-based planning.

• RAD, Prototyping, Agile, and Lean

Explore Rapid Application Development, software prototypes, time-boxed delivery, Scrum, sprint planning, estimation, backlogs, and continuous improvement.

• Requirements Engineering

Learn stakeholder analysis, requirement gathering, feasibility evaluation, functional and non-functional requirements, use cases, and Software Requirements Specifications.

• System Design and Modeling

Study software architecture, layered design, database schemas, Object-Oriented Analysis and Design, and UML diagrams such as use-case, class, and sequence diagrams.

• Implementation, Testing, and Quality

Explore coding standards, build processes, unit testing, integration testing, system testing, performance testing, quality metrics, automated testing, and software quality assurance.

• Security and Risk Management

Understand secure SDLC practices, vulnerability prevention, risk identification, and mitigation planning.

• Deployment and Maintenance
