Udviklingslivscyklus

Udviklingslivscyklus is a Danish term that translates to "development lifecycle" in English. It refers to the systematic process of planning, creating, testing, deploying, and maintaining a product or system. This lifecycle is typically divided into distinct phases, each with its own set of objectives and activities.

The initial phase is often requirements gathering, where the needs and expectations of stakeholders are identified. This is followed by the design phase, where the system architecture and user interface are planned. The implementation or development phase involves the actual coding and construction of the product based on the design specifications.

Once developed, the product undergoes rigorous testing to identify and fix defects. This can include unit testing, integration testing, and user acceptance testing. After successful testing, the product is deployed to its intended environment. The final phase is maintenance, which involves ongoing support, updates, and improvements to ensure the product continues to function effectively and meet evolving needs.

The development lifecycle aims to provide structure and control to the development process, improving efficiency, reducing risks, and ensuring the delivery of a high-quality product. Different methodologies, such as Agile or Waterfall, can be applied within the framework of a development lifecycle. The specific phases and their order may vary depending on the chosen methodology and the nature of the project.
