Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

Popular SDLC Models (Including DevOps)

- Waterfall: Linear, phase-by-phase model.


- Agile: Iterative, focused on flexibility and collaboration.
- Scrum: Agile variant with roles and time-boxed sprints.
- Spiral: Iterative with risk analysis.
- V-Model: Each dev phase has a matching test phase.
- DevOps: Continuous development, integration, delivery, monitoring using automation.

Best Uses:
- Waterfall: Simple projects with fixed requirements.
- Agile: Fast-changing, customer-driven projects.
- Scrum: Agile teams with structured delivery.
- Spiral: Complex, high-risk projects.
- V-Model: High-quality, validation-driven systems.
- DevOps: Cloud-native, scalable, fast-release systems.
