Phases from requirements to maintenance.
SDLC phases: requirements, design, implementation, testing, deployment, maintenance. Models: waterfall, V-model, iterative, spiral, agile, DevOps. Choice depends on risk, requirement stability and regulation. Documentation and traceability support quality.
Medical device software follows a V-model with formal verification.
The software lifecycle describes the stages of building and maintaining software, so teams can plan work and manage risk.
Phases from requirements to maintenance.
The software lifecycle describes the stages of building and maintaining software, so teams can plan work and manage risk.
Requirements, design, implementation, testing, deployment and maintenance, although these can overlap and repeat.
It depends on the risk and certainty of requirements. Stable regulated projects may suit a waterfall plan, while uncertain ones suit iteration.
Typical applications include planning the stages of a new internal tool from requirements to support, choosing where testing and review fit in the project and deciding how to handle maintenance and updates after release.
Study "Asynchronous programming" first (topic 44 of 104 in Software & Computing). It covers the groundwork this topic builds on.
Maintenance is often 60% of cost. Prototyping. Risk management.
Medical device software follows a V-model with formal verification.
The next topic is "Agile and Scrum", which builds directly on this one.
It is classed as Intermediate in Software & Computing (topic 45 of 104). It is an intermediate topic. Work through the beginner topics in Software & Computing first.
