This flowchart shows the main steps of the Software Development Lifecycle: starting from gathering requirements, designing the software, coding it, testing it, and deciding if it works correctly. If it does, the process ends. If not, it loops back to fixing issues and testing again.
Step-by-Step Trace - 8 Steps
Step 1: Gather requirements from users and stakeholders.
Step 2: Design the software structure and plan how it will work.
Step 3: Write the code to build the software.
Step 4: Test the software to find any problems.
Step 5: Check if software works correctly.
Step 6: If software has issues, fix the problems.
Step 7: Test the software again after fixes.
Step 8: If software works correctly, end the process.
