Software Development Life Cycle:
The Software Development Life Cycle is a process used in the software industry to produce and design high-quality software. The SDLC follows certain stages of designing, developing, testing software before launching it.
A typical SDLC life cycle is as follows:
There are various types of SDLC modes. Some of the popular SDLC models are as follows:
Software Prototyping
- The process in which developers create a model of the actual software.
- The intention behind creating this model is to get the actual requirements more deeply from the user.
- Prototyping helps a lot in getting feedback from the customer.
Process of software prototyping
- Initial requirements identification
- Prototype Development
- Review
- Revise
Types of prototyping
- Rapid Prototyping/Throwaway: In this type, we build a prototype with very little effort to get the requirement from the user after getting the requirements, we throw away this prototype and start building the actual software.
-
Evolutionary Prototyping: The prototype on the top of which we can build the whole actual system.
Testing in Software Engineering
- At different stages of software development, we need to test what we develop.
- When we develop a unit, we test it when we integrate it with other units.
- Also, it needs to be tested before giving the software to the customer.
- In some testing types, we directly deal with the code, which is known as white box testing.
- In some other cases, we do not have to look at the code and it is known as black-box testing.
- A mixture of these two is known as gray box testing.
Unit Testing
- Testing a single unit of the software is known as unit testing.
- In this testing, we will test an isolated unit of the software, which contains lots of the units.
Integration Testing
- Here, the testing of a few units of the software is done separately. Now, after testing, those units are integrated.
- After integrating those units, it is again tested.
- This is known as integration testing.
Regression Testing
- Here, a new module is made and it is added to the software.
- Whenever a new module is added to the software, it is tested to check whether the software is working fine with the change.
- This is known as regression testing.
System Testing
- The complete software is ready and working as a system.
- In this testing, the focus is the entire software. The testing is done based on Evolutionary are input and output.
- Software compatibility is tested on different kinds of OS.
- Testing the software comes under the black box testing category.
Stress Testing
- The software is tested under unfavorable conditions.
- In this testing, the software is pushed to its maximum limit to check whether any failure occurs under some unfavorable conditions.
