Website System Development Lifecycle

Question: Describe about the Report for Website System Development Lifecycle. Answer: This portfolio would discuss the website system development lifecycle. There are five phases of website system development lifecycle. The first phase is system analysis or planning. The second phase is system design, followed by system build. The fourth phase in the lifecycle is testing followed by the last phase of implementation of service delivery (Revuru, 2012). With this topic, I have leaned that the development of website happens in a structure way and there are similarities between the system development lifecycle for any software product and the development lifecycle for website. The first phase of system analysis or planning can be considered as the phase of requirement gathering. In this phase, the objective of the developers is to collect the business requirements. Once the requirements are gathered, the next step is to plan for the system, design. In this phase, the emphasis is not on the system design but on the way system would be designed. The second phase of system de sign is probably the most critical phase in the entire website development lifecycle. This is the phase in which the blueprinting of entire system is done. In this week I have learned that the inputs of various stakeholders is required to have an effective system design in place. In this phase the scope is detailed out and the timelines of the entire project is decided (Stark, 2015). The output of this phase could also be a prototype model of the website. The third phase of the lifecycle is the system build phase. This is the phase in which actual implementation happen. In this phase, the developers would actually develop the website. This is the phase in which the prototype would be used to develop the actual system. The next phase in the lifecycle is the testing phase (Laudon Traver, 2015). It is very important that the testing should happen in an independent manner. There are various types of testing that happens in this phase like unit testing, system testing, integration testing and end-to-end testing. One of the testing that does not happen in this phase is the User Acceptance Testing (UAT). In the website development lifecycle, UAT is performed once the entire system is developed. In the testing phase, a regression suite is developed that is tested with all the major and minor releases. The last phase in the website development lifecycle is the implementation of service delivery (Cooper, 2012). This is the phase in which the d eveloped system (website) is moved into production. Before the commencement of this phase, all the bugs should be fixed and the system should be tested again. One of the critical activity in this phase is the user acceptance testing that is done by the end user. References Cooper, M., Sloan, D., Kelly, B. and Lewthwaite, S., 2012, April.
