Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is any logical process used by a systems analyst to develop an information system, including requirements, validation, training, and user ownership. An SDLC should result in a high quality system that meets or exceeds customer expectations, reaches completion within time and cost estimates, works effectively and efficiently in the current and planned Information Technology infrastructure, and is inexpensive to maintain and cost-effective to enhance. The mission of software development within Astegic is to develop software solutions and products, not prototypes or proof of concepts (POC). A formal process ensures that true business requirements are met by the product being developed. These practices outline how Astegic ensures it has performed best efforts to create software that is:

• free of defects
• scalable
• capacity able
• secure
• redundant and highly available

The production systems development lifecycle (SDLC) refers to the different phases of any new development, content changes, bug fixes, and/or enhancements to a solution. The following are the different phases included in the SDLC.

• Analysis Phase
• Design Phase
• Development Phase
• Evaluation Phase
