System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) - a methodology used to develop, maintain, and replace information systems. The stages in the SDLC are: Analysis, Design, Development, Integration and Testing, ImplementationThe stages of the systems cycleFeasibility study- Feasibility study is usually carried out by a team of people with experience in information systems techniques, with knowledge of the type of system being proposed and who are skilled in systems analysis and design. The team will be responsible for determining whether the benefits of the proposed system can justify the costs involved in developing it.
