 4. SOFTWARE PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE

Product development frameworks enable product teams to respond to

changes in the ever-evolving market and solve customers’ needs quickly. The
product development lifecycle defines the stages the team must undergo to
deliver a valuable product to end users before it becomes obsolete.
The product development lifecycle (PDLC) is a subset of product lifecycle
management that focuses on building and delivering during each phase.

Nine Steps of Software Product Development Life Cycle

1. Brainstorm ideas
Here are a few more points that you can probe upon in this phase:

 Define your objectives

 Make a list of the features that your software will have
 Look into different software developments
 Brainstorm how you can make your product stand out
 Discuss who your target audience is
 Make a rough sketch of the software
 Utilize your analytical skills to create a user story.

2. Plan and analyze

Feasibility study helps you determine the technical and financial aspects
of your software developments process. When designing your product’s
roadmap, carefully consider the time, resources, key activities,
estimations, and ROI, among other things related to it.

3. Go through the Proof of Concept (PoC)

A Proof of Concept is one of the most critical phases of the cycle. This
step aids you in validating your idea and determining whether the
software product development processes will deliver for your company

4. Design
Once the PoC is successful, the design team creates a thorough software
architecture that encompasses all of the software’s features. This step is
all about achieving the right balance between what the user wants
and
 corporate goals. Your software’s product design should contain
prototypes and final mockups, all of which should be customer-centric.

5. Go through the Proof of Value (PoV)

Proof of Value (PoV) delves deeper into the product’s significance to
your company. It helps you in finding whether or not your objectives are
attainable. Using the PoV approach, one can examine a single instance
from beginning to conclusion, inspect all of the pieces along the route,
and grasp the gaps.

6. Develop the code

The development phase consists of and transforming design documents
into software. Here, your software engineering team ensures that the
code complies with the software specifications and the stakeholders’
requirements—from alpha, beta, release to the final production build.

7. Integrate and test

To make sure that the code is clean and accomplishes the business goals,
have your quality assurance team run several tests, including
functionality testing, systems integration, interoperability, and user
acceptability testing on the product. Make sure to integrate product
testing as a mandatory step in your process. This way, you can verify that
your application is working effectively.
8. Deploy and keep a track
In this stage, the final solution is released in a step-by-step manner with
an implementation strategy. Finally, once the software is completed with
data and component transfers, the freshly designed and tested
application is released to production with only the specific changes
provided in the following releases.

9. Maintain and upgrade

This phase receives special attention. This phase is the perfect time to
improve the application’s features, update its performance, and adjust
them in response to the end user’s demands by adding new capabilities.
 5. SOFTWARE PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE PHASES

1. Planning: The first phase of the software product life cycle is planning. In this phase,
the requirements for the bus reservation management system are identified and
analysed. The scope of the project is defined, and a project plan is created. The
project plan includes a timeline, milestones, and deliverables.

2. Requirements Gathering: In this phase, the requirements for the bus reservation

6. Deployment: In the deployment phase, the reservation management system is

deployed to the production environment. The system is installed, configured, and
tested in the production environment to ensure that it works correctly.

7. Maintenance: The final phase of the software product life cycle is maintenance. In
this phase, the bus reservation management system is maintained and updated as
needed. This includes bug fixes, updates to the software, and enhancements to the
system. The maintenance phase continues for the life of the system.
 6.Software Standards

Standards are published documents created to ensure the reliability of the

materials, products, methods, and/or services. They establish requirements,
specifications, guidelines, characteristics, and/or procedures designed.
Typically, they are developed through a consensus process and approved by
various national and international agencies, professional societies, or industry
organizations. Standard are the minimally accepted professional practice and/or
quality that must be observed.

A software engineering standard may be defined as any standard, protocol, or

similar document that outlines the rules and processes for the creation of
software products. A typical software development company will have such
documents on hand, and they will be intended for usage only by that specific
organization

Why re software standards important?

Improve performance
Reduce risk
Help produce efficient and effective products
Reduce costs, improve supplier relations
Guide business communications and marketing
Advance innovation and new technologies
Support regulatory goals and compliance
Transfer technology to the marketplace

Types of standards:
• ISO and IEEE are two of the most well-known international standards that enable
software businesses all around the globe better structure their operations by
providing a well-defined and effective framework.
• ISO - International Organization for Standardization
• IEEE - Electrical and Electronics Engineers
 These standards are a list of principles and good practices that are used to help
software companies increase the quality of their services and organisation of
processes to reach better results.
The ISO is a global standard-setting organization that spans sectors including
software and food.
ISO's major purpose is to assist businesses to improve their processes and therefore
their services by offering a set of standards and norms to follow:

• ISO 9000: 2000 –

 ISO 9000: 2000: contains Quality management systems, fundamentals, and
vocabulary.
• ISO 9000-1: 1994 –
 This series of standards includes Quality management systems and Quality assurance
standards. It also includes some guidelines for selection and use.
• ISO 9000-2: 1997 –
 This series of standards also includes Quality management systems and Quality
assurance standards. It also includes some guidelines for the application of ISO 9001,
ISO 9002, and ISO 9003.
 ISO 9000-3: 1997 –
 This series contains Quality management systems, Quality assurance standards and
also includes guidelines for the application of ISO 9001 to 1994 to the development,
supply, installation, and maintenance of computer installation.
• ISO 9000-2: 1997 –
 This series of standards also includes Quality management systems and Quality
assurance standards. It also includes some guidelines for the application of ISO 9001,
ISO 9002, and ISO 9003.
• ISO 9000-3: 1997 –
 This series contains Quality management systems, Quality assurance standards and
also includes guidelines for the application of ISO 9001 to 1994 to the development,
supply, installation, and maintenance of computer installation.
 7.Evolution In Software Industry

Software evolution is the continual development of a piece of software after its initial
release to address changing stakeholder and/or market requirements. Software evolution is
important because organizations invest large amounts of money in their software and are
completely dependent on this software. Software evolution helps software adapt to
changing businesses requirements, fix defects, and integrate with other changing systems
in a software system environment.
Software Evolution is a term which refers to the process of developing software initially,
then timely updating it for various reasons, i.e., to add new features or to remove obsolete
functionalities etc.
The evolution process includes fundamental activities of change analysis, release planning,
system implementation and releasing a system to customers.
The cost and impact of these changes are accessed to see how much system is affected by
the change and how much it might cost to implement the change.
If the proposed changes are accepted, a new release of the software system is planned.
During release planning, all the proposed changes (fault repair, adaptation, and new
functionality) are considered. The software evolution process is critical for the entire
development cycle.
It helps keep the product up-to-date and monitor the performance and failure-free
operations continually by suggesting improvements and fixing current issues. Upgrading the
system improves usability and functionality. When the software is upgraded, it is stable
enough to decrease security risks and under attacks over time.
That is why major software investments in companies are devoted to evolution specifically.
It is important to keep the existing systems updated because of the investments the
companies have made in those systems initially.

The need for software evolution comes from the fact that no one is able to predict how
user requirements will evolve a priority. In other words, the existing systems are never
complete and continue to evolve.
As they evolve, the complexity of the systems will grow unless there is a better solution
available to solve these issues.
The main objectives of software evolution are ensuring functional relevance, reliability and
flexibility of the system. Software evolution can be fully manual (based on changes by
software engineers), partially automated (using refactoring tools) or fully automated.)

Software evolution has been greatly impacted by the Internet the rapid growth of World
Wide Web and Internet Resources make it easier for users and engineers to find related
information. Open source development where anybody could download the source codes
and hence modify it has enabled fast and parallel evolution

Software evaluation is necessary just because of the following reasons:

Change in requirement with time
Environment change
Errors and bugs
Security risks
For having new functionality and features

As the software industry continues to evolve, it is clear that AI and ML will play an
increasingly important role. These technologies have the potential to revolutionize the way
we live and work, and they will likely be at the forefront of software development for many
years to come. In conclusion, the software industry has undergone a tremendous evolution
from punch cards and assembly code to AI and ML.
The development of new technologies such as the internet, high-level languages, and AI
have opened up new possibilities for software applications, making it faster, more efficient,
and more accessible to a wider range of people. The future looks bright for the software
industry, with continued innovation and advancements in AI and ML technologies.
